Christmas Lights

It was warm enough a couple of weeks ago to go to the zoo and enjoy the Christmas lights!
The reindeer were there and Emma is determined that this one must be Victor!!

Emma's Art Show

Miss Emma hosted her annual art show/sale for charity last week. The attendance and support was wonderful!!!
She raised enough money to purchase a brand new bike to take to the fire station for the Firefighters for Kids toy drive!

We are so proud of her!

From our family..

to yours..Merry Christmas!

Santa Claus

Dear Santa,
I can't complain!!! They really have been good!

This year from Santa, Emma has asked for a Camp Rock CD and Drew has asked for a "real" magic wand!

Oh, Christmas Tree

The kids have had a lot of fun getting ready for Christmas!
They helped pick a place for some of the family Christmas decorations!

Every year after we put all of the ornaments on the tree we go to the store and let the kids pick out a new ornament for the tree. I always get a chuckle from what they pick!! One year Emma picked a cow in a bikini!! Well this year, she pick a Camp Rock star and Drew picked an Ohio State snowman!

Sleep Over??

We tried to have a sleep over with Meg and Sabrina. Notice the word "tried" ? Meg became homesick (that's normal) and Sabrina became SICK (they tell me she felt fine before hand..and she didn't get sick anymore after they came and got her). We still had a lot of fun while they were here!!
The "big" kids wanted to pose next to the Christmas Tree.

And Sabrina chilled with Uncle Dennis and watched football!!

How could I forget!!

See this happy face~it's because his Mommy let him...
eat almost an entire can of Jellied Cranberry stuff!!

In between taking bites he would talk about how him and Papa Dennis would eat "this yummy stuff!"

P.S. He did eat other things too. This was just the second round of can shaped cranberries!
