Christmas Spectacular Featuring the Rocketts

We had the opportunity to go see the New York City Rocketts with Miss M's Brownie Troop this year... The girls had so much fun... Our seats were way up high which we were worried about when we got there, but it ended up being incredible.. you could see so much more from up high. The kids had a blast and it was such a treat. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for watching Little One.. it was a late night.. would have been too much for her!

Limo to Lunch!

Thanks to all who supported Miss M's qwest for cookie dough sales! To get to go on a limo ride and out to lunch she had to sell 300.00 worth of cookie dough! She sold 308.00 worth. So off on a limo ride around the neighborhood she went and then on to Barro's Pizza for lunch with the principal! She had a blast!

here comes the limo!

Miss M and her friends that also got limo to lunch

off she goes!

Crazy socks!

Miss A was so excited to have crazy sock day at school... it's the little things right? :-) Daddy was out of town so we had to make sure to get pics which means we get to share them all with you too! :-)

The bginning of a 2 month update

Hoping everyone had a joyous and magical holiday season... This year our holiday season started with Thanksgiving at Carrie and Mario's... we of course woke up and watched the Macys Day Parade which has become a tradition for my girls just as it was a tradition for my sister and I... The kids get so excited while watching and it makes you feel like a kid again. We did not have to worry about making dinner this year so we had a very relaxing morning which was something desperatly needed for all of us. This fall has been a whirwind and full of travel, activities etc.

Here are the girls watching the parade... (Miss M and Little One are still in PJs)... Miss A could not wait to get her new outfit for Thanksgiving on... so, she put that on at 7am!

We finally got ourselves going and made our way our for Thanskgiving dinner. We had our first deep fried turkey... it was good and made in like 45 minutes.. You cannot beat that! A fun day was had by all!

Updates will be coming I promise

Hi everyone,

Yes, I have gotten the emails asking when the blog will be updated... I promise soon! We have some great pictures from our trip to see the Rocketts, our breakfast and personal visit with Santa, Christmas and lots of other fun things... It has been a whirlwind... School started this past Monday and we are already back into soccer, school, art class, music class, Brownies, MOPS... you get the picture! I hope this weekend to update the blog with some latest pictures!

Blocks! My favorite thing!

Little One has a love of her blocks! No matter what is out to play with she zeros in on the box of blocks and can sit for a while and just play. It is adorable... her favorite thing is when we put all the blocks away and she gets to dump them out all over again.

Time for catching up

Well, we have always said November and December are the craziest time of year... and this year has been no different.. I seriously cannot even believe it has been so long since I have posted, but well here I am trying to get everyone caught up.

So, Mike started his new job and loves it! He is working a ton and not around alot so I decided to start our Christmas decorating a little earlier then we have in the past... The week before Thanksgiving. Mike thought I was crazy but we are so glad we started early. The monster 12 ft tree took us forever all by itself. Here is a picture of Mike trying to separate all the branches. He had to go buy a new ladder just to get to the top!

We also put up a much smaller tree... 7 1/2 feet in the family room so the kids can put all of their fun ornaments up... The family room is more the kids Christmas room with a kids tree, nativity, decorations... anything in there is durable for all the little hands!
