High School get together

On Wednesday while Wade was up skiing with a friend, the kids and I headed over to Michelle's house (thanks again Michelle) for a high school reunion. It was a blast and so fun to see everyone. I still can't believe we all have kids and some of us even have two and the others are on their way to two...amazing! Thanks again for the fun girls...and man who knew we would get even BETTER looking after high school!!! :)

Christmas Cont.

Christmas 2007 was a blast! Both the kids were so into this year, I loved watching the excitement on their faces when they open their gifts. It truly is more fun to give than to receive, however, thank you everyone for all the great gifts I got...and also all the great ones for Wade and the kids. We are so blessed and really have more than we deserve. Christmas was perfect this year especially with the few minutes that is started snowing, that is rare in Washington to have snow on Christmas day. In the evening Charlie and the rest of the gang were tired so Wade and I took Gracie to see Enchanted, what a fun movie, if you haven't seen it, check it out!

Christmas Day

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve while Charlie was napping I let Gracie have full control of decorating all the cookies, it was a mess but she loved it. And they didn't turn out too bad. In the evening my dad dressed up as Santa, it was hilarious. Gracie is so scared of Santa again this year, but Charlie loves him. It was so funny to see their expressions. Gracie was okay with it because she knew it wasn't the real Santa, only pappa. The rest of us got a good laugh at seeing him dressed up. He brought the kids the game Elefun, and some dvd.

The Gingerbread House

here we are making the gingerbread house, thanks Ross and Melissa for your help, the kids loved decorating it, but I think they ate most of the decorations:)

Party in our old 'hood

One of the first places we headed to before Christmas was our old neighborhood. We loved our neighbors and still miss them so much. It was so much fun to relax and hang with them, it was like no time had passed. The girls...Tiffany, Jolene and me...Steph were are you??? And the boys, Mike, Wade and Doug...and Josh were are you?? Best buddies Gracie and Samantha (Gracie misses you already) Alivia...isn't she cute?? And Ethan, what a handsome little guy!

Singing Christmas Tree

Gracie and I came in two days before Charlie and Wade. It was nice to get to spend some time just with Gracie. The second night we were there we picked up my gramsy and the whole gang went out to dinner at the Spagetti Factory and then over to see the Singing Christmas tree. If you haven't gotten a chance to see this production, make sure to check it out next year, it was awesome!!! Gramsy and Gracie Auntie Mimi with Grace And Auntie KK with Grace And all the girls!!
