MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I sent out my Christmas cards this year a little late. So to those of you who haven't received yours yet and to those who I did not have an address.... Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas! We love you all and hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

Make overs

Today I had to wrap a few last minute gifts while the kids were home. I put in a movie and thought they would be okay for a little while. Well, this is what I found when I emerged from my bedroom from wrapping...........



You can't see it great, but Cloe was covered in blue eyeshadow and bright pink blush. It was caked on so thick that her hair stuck to her face. Brooklyn had done hers a little more tasteful than Cloe. It is now 5 hours later and I still can't get it all off of Cloe's face. Needless to say, that makeup kit was permanently destroyed from Cloe's over use of the product.

Snow Day!

December 14, 2008
Yesterday it snowed all day, and hard. The kids were so excited. They spent all day Saturday at a family Christmas party, so they didn't get to play in the snow. Today we woke up to even more snow. All the girls wanted to do was play outside. So after church I dressed them all up in their snow gear and out they went. They had so much fun. Well, Taysa and Brooklyn did. Cloe went outside walked around and fell in the snow and you guessed it, that was the end of that.


Here they all are, having fun, before Cloe fell.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

The day after Thanksgiving we always put up our Christmas decorations. We turn on the Christmas music and have lots of fun.















THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS!


















All the blue and white decorations are my Snow Buddies collection. My dad gave them all to me over several years for Christmas and I love them.

































So here it is. All finished. Not the greatest tree, but love the fact that I got to use the ornaments from my dad.

Thanksgiving Day

November 27, 2008

We had an absolute great time on Thanksgiving this year. We all went to Cristi's house in Preston and when I say all it was all of us. That is the first time since I can remember we were all together for a happy occasion. We had tons of great food, thanks Cristi it was delicious, and lots of fun; especially the kids. They played so hard and had such a great time. They played outside on the tramp, swings, playing in the sandbox, seeing the horse & kitties, playing football and basketball. They also had a great time playing Rock Band. It was so funny to watch them trying to play the music, even when they messed up they had a blast.

I am so thankful that we could all get together this year and spend the holiday as a family. Thanks to all of you for such a wonderful day.

Bryan, Cristi, Kylie, Codi & Colton; We love you and thank you for the great food and letting us all invade your house.

Thad, Kayla, Riley & Tanton; We love you and thank you for coming and spending Thanksgiving with us.

Tracy, Angela & Aiden; We love you and thank you for sharing the holiday with family.

Mom and Mike; We love you and thank you for providing most of the food and for gathering us all together for such a happy and fun occasion.


I think I got pictures of just about everyone on here. I just didn't want to leave out any of the great fun we had.

Christmas Dresses

Every year around Christmas time I always buy the girls a new dress which we call their Christmas dress. Today they all decided it was time to start wearing them to church, so I had to get a picture of them all. I let the girls pick them out online, but with the direction that they all had to somewhat match. I did this so I could use them for pictures later. I think they did a pretty good job of accomplishing it, except Taysa still needs a new pair of black church shoes, so she wore her black boots instead. I love Cloe standing there with her hands on her hips!
