Merry Christmas!!!

12-25-08

A day that was filled with family and fun. Everyone seemed to have a great day and an enjoyable Christmas. We of course had lasagna and all the extras and lots and lots of gifts.
What a great day and so very thankful for the family that we have.

Christmas Eve

12-24-08

Well it is that time of year, when it seems we are just on the go the whole time. We started of at Aunt Linda's and had a great time with her and all the boys. Then went to Becky's to visit with Bryan's side of the family. We had a really good time and got home late but the kids enjoyed every minute of it.

Sitting with Santa @ Bass Pro

12-21-08 We'll we had to go to Bass Pro for a gift and so we got the kids to go ahead and sit with Santa. They were doing free pictures, but I wasn't allowed to take my own and it was as well decorated as last years. But the kids still had an okay time.

Winter Party Time

12-19-08

The kids get to have a Winter Party before their break for Christmas. The 5th graders (Colin's grade) got to have the cafeteria with loads of food, music and fun. Rana's class had theirs in the classroom, they made an ornament, had some food, played bingo and then got to watch a movie.

It's Basketball Season

12-17-08

Jaki had her 1st official game of Basketball and they did well. She also got some extra cheering from Jared, Kacie, Rory, & A. Carol that night at her game. They are trying and more practice is needed, but Jaki is really enjoying being able to play and she is on B Team.

Holiday In the Park at Fiesta Texas

12-6-08
We (including Bryan) all went to Feista Texas to check out their Holiday in the Park. It was fun, but not many rides were available to ride and the snow sled ride they had was okay, but it was fun to go and see how they decorate the Park up for winter with all it's Christmas lights.

The kid's didn't want to stand in line to see Santa, so while out walking in the park we came across Frosty and I made the kids take a picture with him.

Then of course, Colin wanted to check the wheelchair ride and the First Aid Area. He rode the Scream Ride and when he got off he stepped onto a piece of metal and it cut his foot. He didn't have his shoes on at the time, because they thought that they might fall off while riding the ride. But the cool thing was beside the people being so nice was that he got a clean pair of socks out of it.

And the Last thing the kids did was have some hot chocolate, which was very very good.

Santa Going Green

12-4-08

Colin is all dressed up as a soldier for his Christmas play - Santa's Going Green. The kids did a really good job and had lots of fun. Colin even got to borrow his helmet from our neighbor, so it is a really army helmet and was extremely heavy.
