preparing for Christmas...

I decided to wrap presents last Fri. night. Well then I had help at the same time. It is difficult to wrap all these presents with little girls around and dogs who know they get to un-wrap a present as well on Christmas. Needless to say it took all night and Grace was my biggest helper. Emma came and went through it, but Grace never left my side. She cut the paper, and wrote out the tags (how cute is that). We had a good night.

our 1st gingerbread house

Well I attempted a Gingerbread house for the first time ever (with the help from Corys mom). It was definitely an experience, but a lot of fun at the same time. The hardest part was spreading the frosting (if thats what you call it). It was like toothpaste and a pain in the butt to spread. We let the girls decorate the whole house, and Nana helped with the windows and doors. Next year might be a lttle easier, with some fine tuning on our part.

Lets go "RED WINGS"

Yes, my girls are 4 and now have red wings jerseys like daddy, and both of there Papas. The girls were so excited to show Papa, so he then went and put his on as well to show the girls. They wore them together all night.

Thanksgiving Day...

We spent Thanksgiving at my moms this year with my g-ma Rene. She is doing wonderful and spent a lot of time with the girls that day. This is so priceless for "ME" I am such a g-mas girl and always have been, I thank the lord every day for every "special" day we have with her.

My little pilgrims...

At the girls Thanksgiving feast at school they made pilgrim and indian hats. They were so proud. Thank you Lynne for picking them up that day from school, you're a lifesaver.

Thanksgiving cookies...

On Thursdays, well we do nothing, sometimes. We usually stay in our jammies, do some laundry, clean the house, and then do some sort of "fun" project. Well a few Thurs. back we decided to do Thanksgiving cookies. We baked the cookies, and the girls frosted and sprinkled them all by themselves. It was time consuming, but they had a lot of fun, and in the end they were good!

SPOILED....

SPOILED....Thats all I have to say!

Yes I did tuck him in for the night, he was cold.
