Santa Claus

For family night tonight we took the girls to see Santa. No my camera lens is not dirty its snowing! It was actually a really pretty night to be out, although it was a little cold.


I was pretty proud of my girls when Santa asked what they wanted they really didn't come up with this big huge list like the kid before us who asked for a Wii, X box, PS3 and $2000.00. WOW. I do need a little help, Marissa asked for Bendies, something that bends and then you can stretch them back out, have no clue what those are. Makayla didn't have anything to ask Santa for, she hasn't had any suggestions for us at all this year and Myah asked for a baby doll and a hair dressing set (blow dryer)....she'll be pretty happy with nana & papa's gift.


Here is the house where we go to see Santa at. It is right on the square and everything is decorated downtown, it all looks so pretty especially with the snow!

How sweet and traditionalyour pictures are. I love that the snow is falling in them. Also what a testimony on how your girls are being raised to know Christmas is more than a long list of wants. I have loved all of your recent posts and you have inspired me to try and keep up :)

did she see "bendies" on a commercial? It sounds like something i've heard or seen that you have to call and order...interesting. Good luck with that!! What part of the region did you shop at on the Friday after Thanksgiving? I was around the mall area for a few hours...6-9am

From our home to yours....

Welcome to our home at Christmas. When I heard that Boomama was going to be having a Christmas Tour of Homes , I thought that sounded like so much fun because so many of our family and friends aren't able to make it out to visit us during the Christmas season. So here are a few pictures of our home decorated for Christmas. As you walk in our front door we have this little tree sitting in our entry way As you can see I really like snowman! This is leading into the family room... This tree is in our family room and it is decorated with all of our family ornaments. Each year we buy the girls an ornament that represents something from the year for that child. It is a tradition that I have continued from my childhood. My favorite ornaments are the ones that are homemade by the girls! This is our big tree that is more formally decorated and is in our living room. This is our third year with an artificial tree which is definitely less messy but we have had lots of fun with the pre-lite l

1 Year Later

Just the other day I was looking back at some of my posts and realized that I started our family blog 1 year ago this month. I can't believe it has already been a year. My first post was about celebrating the 4th of July at Mark and Jane's. On Friday we will be heading out to Mark and Jane's for another great 4th with our friends. I have really enjoyed keeping up with our family blog. I hope that you have also enjoyed reading each of my posts. My main reason for doing this blog was to keep in touch with our friends and family through various postings. I know that there are many of you who at one point or another have said to me that you have read our blog, I am just curious who is out there and reading this.
