I'll have to backdate everything so I can remember :-) Sorry if some of this is boring, but I use this blog not only to keep friends and family up to date with our lives but also as a scrapbooking diary of sorts. So maybe in a couple of years when I can put these pictures on pages I'll have some recollection of what happened -ha!


Anyway, on this day we trekked to Ridgemar Mall to watch Lily's Christmas dance recital. We made sure to go early so we could talk to Santa. Got to the mall at 4:55, wondered in, waited for the boys to potty, went to see Santa and he goes on break from 5:00-5:45 - WHAT?! If I had only known I could have gotten in line while the boys were in the bathroom. We literally missed him by like a minute. As a matter of fact on CJ's phone it was only 4:58pm but they already had the sign up. Ugh!!!! Lily's recital starts at 6:00, maybe we'll go afterward. While we're waiting we'll go upstairs and get some dinner...





Did you know at Ridgemar Mall they have a row of miniature tables and chairs for kids? They are too cute and the kids had a blast.

Lily's dance recital was awesome as usual. She has been in dance I think for 3 years now and she loves it. I was taking pics from a distance so with the camera on the appropriate setting you must have a steady hand and a still image, neither of which were happening, thus the blurriness.

School Christmas parties for Tanner and Grace. Just yesterday my df Shaunery gave us a bag of clothes for Grace (yeah us!) and Grace totally fell in love with one of the dresses. Insisted on wearing it to her school party the next day which required a trip to Walmart at 7:30am to get a pair of shoes. But isn't she cute? Thanks Shaun!

Notice Morgan in the background? I was getting Grace ready to take her pic and little did I notice that Morgan had gone over and stood against the wall and was slowly creeping toward Grace to get in the pic. Made me laugh!


Next was Tanner's class party. Grammy Jan and Papa Dave were able to come down and join us for it. They had 2 or 3 craft projects, snacks, and goodie bags. Tanner had a blast and was so happy that we were all there.


This is how I kept Morgan occupied and seated in the stroller for 40 minutes....


Is that wrong?

I was starting to be concerned but I knew you were either very busy or had thrown the computer out the front door. Good to read that the holidays were good in the south. Todd and I were wondering if CJ had anything to do with your beautiful kiddos - they look like their MOM! Hoosier Hugs, Heather

It's not bad at all. Carrying a bag of suckers with you everywhere you go would be bad. :) I can't get my stupid pictures on here, so you're a superstar blogger.
