Ellie showing off how fast she can go!

To infinity and beyond.....

The kids loved the planetarium's laser show.

One of the kids best Christmas present was a day at Chuck E. Cheese's from Daddy!

What a splendid Christmas we had!

Christmas morning and oh the presents!

The girls with their troops sang Christmas carols to the residents at Cardinal Ridge Nursing Home.

Ellie played 'Jolly Old Saint Nicholas' on the piano for her elementary school Christmas concert. She did a very good job, we are very proud of her!

Sydney's Christmas concert

St. Nick comes tonight

St. Nick, we have left letters out to Santa Clause tonight, if you would be so kind as to pass them along to your brother, we would greatly appreciate it! Love Ellie and Sydney

My Favorites of Thanksgiving this year.

During Thanksgiving we reflect on what we are thankful for, I talk with the kids and try to make them understand the wonderful blessings we've been given, the delicious food we prepared, the family we visit with, the neighbors we enjoy of their company,and the very delicious food~ did I mention that already?
I am a foodie, I love making it and most of all eating it, so Thanksgiving is a most splendid day for me, but everything must come to an end and now I am off and running with my Christmas cookies. Matt I plan to give it my best effort to increase your %! :)
