Paige's Christmas Show

My little Angel. Her Mother's Day Out put a Christmas program together for the parents. Her class rang bells to Jingle Bells and hand signs to Away in the Manger. It was fun to watch her participate in the program. She loves her class and Teacher.

Holiday in The Park

Our good friends Nicki and Brian invited us to join them and Emma to Holiday in the Park at Six Flags on Bell Helicopter Day. For $30 the whole family got into the park, our choice of lunch, a bracelet that let us enjoy hot chocolate all day and get 3 pictures, awesome deal. It was a really cold day and we tried everything to stay warm. Matthew had so much fun riding rides with Emma. His favorite ride was the mine trains. Paige was a trooper and spent most the day in her stroller bundled up. Clay and Brian really enjoyed the Superman ride. We all were tired and cold by the end of our fun day. We love spending time with this group of friends.

Grandma Comes to Town

Colleen came into town and we had 2 full days of shopping. It was so much fun spending time with her shopping for the kids and a little bit for us. The kids love when Grandma comes to town.

Santa Pictures

Matthew drew pictures and wrote Santa a letter before heading off to see him. This year he asked Santa for a remote control motorcycle. Paige stood and watched Matthew talk with Santa and was not sure of the man in the red suit. When placed on Santa's lap the tears started flowing. We survived another year of pictures with Santa.

Thanksgiving

This year I had my sister and brother over for Thanksgiving. Clay just happened to be over nighting at Alliance and he invited the FO over to eat with us to. I made all the fixens including a ham, turkey and an apple pie.

Paige 1st bowl of ceral.

I was out running errands and I come home to this, Paige for the first time eating ceral with milk like a big girl. Clay had no idea that she had not done this before. This is also a picture of her crazy morining hair ( a tangled mess).

Clay catching the Christmas Spirit

Clay is usually a Grinch when it comes to Christmas. This year he wanted to put lights on the house. He had two little helpers help him accomplish this task. He even had them up before Thanksgiving. He is enjoying the joy that the season brings to the kids. At night once Matthew saw all the lights lit up he said "This is the best Christmas ever!"
