Isabella's cake

Someone named Isabella is anxiously awaiting her birthday, only 13 days left. She wanted to look again at the cake we ordered so we pulled a photo to the blog. Since she can practically pull it up herself this way she can look at it all she likes. Join us in the count down to the really big number 4!!!

Putting the lights on the tree

Putting the lights on the tree has been passed on to Paige

See how happy and calm she is, no stress, no pressure

My lovely girls by the tree

Ok, no comment on the white legs! Can you tell we used the self timer and had to move quickly to make sure we didn't miss the photo op?

Isabella by the tree before we started with the lights, this photo took several tries because she runs up to the camera before you have even taken the pic to see what it looks like.

Oh the joys of Christmas!! I love this time of year, and yes we are having eggnog and singing Christmas song with the radio

Going to get the Christmas Tree!!

Trimming the branches off so the stand will fit

Cutting down the tree, Paige has the hard job(holding it up straight), cuz sawing it down isn't difficult at all......just kidding

Happy Thanksgiving!! We are hoping for a wonderful day with family and friends. Much love to each of you as you spend today with your loved ones. Count each blessing and take nothing for granted.

TVP Stone Soup Celebration

So the kids did a great job for being 3 and 4 years old!! Made the soup themselves, with a small amount of help from Deanne who assisted them with the cutting of the veggies. Tasted alright as well. The songs were cute as heck and they made the table decorations and hats themselves. Here are a couple of photos again i will apologise for the poor quality since it was from my cell phone, forgot the Kodak at home. oops!

Jack and Mommy


Just take a little off the back! Notice the fancy Barbie Jeep, very manly

Smiling sister who isn't getting a hair cut

Ok with getting a little off the top, not too much now. It takes me time to grow it out.

Jack went today for a real haircut, not by his mommy! He didn't like it much but he looks quite handsome.

Finally Well

We spent last week from Monday until Saturday home with Jack the clingy sick man. He had a high fever and sore throat the entire week, wouldn't eat and only wanted to be held and snuggled. But all of that is now in the past and we are on our way to a healthy happy little man again. Just in time for TURKEY DAY!! One of our favorite holidays, nothing better than family, food and good ole poker!! Bring on the cards, chips and cash. Hopefully I will get comped and be able to play some cards after a wonderful meal. Wish me luck...with the comp and then the poker game.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
