My mom is doing the 12 days of Chirstmas for the kids from so many miles away......The Hallmark cards come faithfully each day. Zach is in love with them and spent the day watching the musical cars over and over and giggling harder each time he watched. We love you Grandma!
I loved watching my sweet Grandma help my Grandpa every step! She is a very special lady and I love her for the amazing example she has set for all of us. It's hard to see Grandpa deteriorate so quickly.
Faith braving her piano performance!
The girls love cousin Kendel!
Uncle Randy and Grandma!
Mom's sisters, Vivian and Tammy!
Grandma and Blake.
I was in Faith's class on Friday helping celebrate her teachers birthday and I couldnt' resist the sweetest invitation from my sweet Faith to join her for lunch. I don't know why I don't do it more. It was a priceless lunch date! She was so excited to have me sit with all her friends. The meal was awesome......um yikes!
We had a wonderful night with our dear friends, the Keetch's! Soup, amazing rolls, lots of toys and gingerbread houses! .jpg)
I finally braved the impossible and added a little freshness to my boring house! A little blue, accented with black and white and red! Its definatly fresh and fun. The kids were such a big help. Dean had come home while we were painting with a suit on and Faith gave him a big hug, little did we know there was paint in the hair, now all over the suit! Big helps aren't they!
Well, here I am thinking I still have a baby and then I see this phenomenon! He has grown! I was lucky to be able to babysit my cousin Ciara's new little River while she went to the DMV to renew her months expired drivers license. Blake was amused with the baby and I was amused at how he has grown.
My moms little sister JoEllen, has been a special angel to us since Grandma has been gone. She takes so much time and effort to let my kids know they are loved! Last month she came to stay on got my girls started on these little animals, this time she came with families and furniture for them. She spoiled them really good! They love Aunt Jo and talk about her often. She stayed and played with the girls for hours. She told the girls stories about she and my mom when they were Faith and Brooke's age. How much fun they had together and all the funny things they did as sisters. The girls giggled to hear those stories. She told them how lucky they were to have each other as sisters. I agreed, coming from a family of all boys. We love you aunt Jo!
