~ Christmas Eve ~

Here is a picture of my three little joys on Christmas Eve. Notice Hudson's pajamas. They were a Christmas present from Mrs. Donna and he loves them! They are Illinois pajamas. He is still cheering Spencer on!!
Christmas Eve was a little different this year, with Jasper being sick.
We were unable to attend the service at church and I was a little disappointed because I really like taking the kids. We go every year.
My brother and sister came down, so I cooked dinner and we opened gifts with them. It was good for us to be together and very relaxing.

~ Please Pray ~

Please pray for this little guy.
He is sick at home with pneumonia.

~ Jasper's First Haircut ~

The top two pictures are the "before" pics.

These are the "after" pictures!

The day finally arrived.
Yes, the one when I was forced by my sweet husband to cut J's hair!!
He is my baby but it had to be done.
Jasper looks more like a big boy now.
After all he is almost 20 months!!
Can you believe that?
Time flies!!

~ Christmas Parade~

The 2010 Christmas parade has come and gone.
The past several years, Terral has volunteered to drive one of the many fire trucks. For that I am thankful. This is a great way to stay warm. It seems every year it is so stinking cold the evening of the Christmas parade. I know it is December and it is supposed to be cold, but I don't understand how we can have random 60 degree days but never on that night. Oh well, I guess it makes it seem more like Christmas time if it is cold the night of the parade. I have included a few pictures(pardon the quality) of the kids in the truck. We had bought the kids little candy canes to throw, a box for the girls and a box for the boys. They were gone right as we rounded the corner to get on main street!! They were throwing them by the hand fulls!! So, if you did not get any candy canes, I apologize. Someone else got your share!!

~ The Fiddler~

Here he is...the one...the only...Fiddler!!

Doesn't he look awesome? I love the knickers!

The kids were proud of their dad.

Scrooge (aka Brett Short) did amazing!!

It was such a good play. Everyone did an excellent job! I was really impressed. There was so much hard work put into this. It is great how so many people came together to get it all done. If you did not get to see it, you really missed out. It was a huge success and seeds were planted.

I am proud of my fiddler!!

~ November Student of the Month ~

I had the honor of attending a special breakfast with my one and only daughter, Lauren.
She was so excited the day she found out she was student of the month.
I was so pleased with her and very happy to attend this breakfast.
Lauren is such a good girl who is giving and full of love.
Congratulations Lauren!
I love you and am proud of you!!
