Game Day

Need I say more??? 

Okay. Fine. I will. 

The pregnant lady danced circles around all of us! 

We had a great day of soup, cornbread, christmas cookies and lots and lots of games!!  Scattegories, Scrabble, Just Dance... A good day was had by all!  

A Merry Christmas

Little Red Riding Hood was with us on Christmas!

And finally a bit of Christmas cheer... oh so yummy! :)

Out with the Old!

I am ready for Christmas music half way through November, and love getting the tree the day after Thanksgiving... But the day after Christmas... I am ready to have my house back!! 

Bye Bye Tree!!! It was out before 11am!  Such a good feeling! :)

You Can't Have Too Many Weapons

Daddy Date

Last night Naomi got all dressed up and she and her daddy went out on the town.   :). They went to dinner, went to see The Nutcracker and then out for ice cream. 

We have talked about it for weeks and Naomi was so very very excited. She twirled through the day and couldn't wait to see the "bah-way"!! When she came bouncing in at 10pm last night she told me that "this was my best specialest day ever!!!!  And I want to stay up all night!!"

Here she is back stage with her best little friend Molly Ryan and her sisters Abby & Caroline who were angels in the ballet. :)

Angels

Today the kids (and their mama) worked on their fine motor skills!  We had a great time cutting out Christmas Angels! 

Today's Project

Despite having 10 book fairs this fall I still have several books in my inventory. This weeks project is sorting, labeling and storing til I do my next event in February. I get tired just looking at all these books!! Thanks goodness for Mickey Mouse on Netflix. :). 

Christmas Cards

The last of the 276 Christmas cards are going out today!!  I switched to labels this year to save time. It still took two of us about 6 hours to get them all stuffed, labeled, stamped and sealed! :)

Call me crazy but I love sending them!  

Little Man

And he is off!  Cruising, crawling and rubbing his new tooth with this tongue. :)

Oh That Face!!!

I just can't get enough of these sweet cheeks. Sometimes it overwhelms me how much I love this little man in the short 7 months we have known each other. :)

Dance Man...

Mingda, our international student asked a girl to the winter formal... and rumor has it got his groove on at the after party too!  :)

Ben

Crazy Girl

Kindergarten Math

What can I say.... We are a brown-eyed kind of family!!

Cousins!

 While Micah & Lara were home for a few days between the wedding and heading for Texas, we managed to squeeze in some cousin pics for the grandma!  Horray for cousins!!

And for the record:  Ben 5, Naomi 3, Juliet 20 months & Isaac 4 weeks. :)
