Getting Ready... I think!

This is my messy scrapbooking area.

Can you find anything on this table. I can't.

Getting a little better. At least some stuff is organized and ready to go.

But the tables still a mess!

Can't wait to go scrapbooking. I was looking a pics of the kids when they were little and they are so cute. It makes me excited to capture this years memories in my scrapbook. I am bringing my first scrapbook to show and also I started an annual scrapbook retreat book. I will bring that too. See everyone Sunday.

Teaching the kids how to gamble early

And Stacia raked in the dough.

Ear Piercing

Caitlyn had said when she was 7 or 8 that she wanted to get her ears pierced when she was 10. Well her birthday is only 5 days away so we are ready to leave and get it done.

 Let's have lunch first. Shaley and Melissa          met us at the mall.

In the chair at Claires, listening to what they are going to do.

Left ear

Right ear

And done.

They are very beautiful.

Flat tire on my way to work

You think when you don't have to be to work until 9:30am you could make it on time. Well, not so much. I got a flat while driving and had to call my hubby for help. He was wearing his Superman sweatshirt so he was living up to that name.

Christmas Day!

This year we decided to do something different for Christmas. We (Karen, Melissa, Caitlyn, Felicia, Deborah, Victoria and Elicia) volunteered at the Women's shelter serving food for the ladies. It was a nice treat for them to be served. The girls loved serving. I hope each year we will be able to do something for someone else. It brings home what the true meaning of Christmas is. Christ died for us and we need to use our actions to show that we are thankful and want to reciprocate His love and kindness to others.

The Tree

The stockings first

Evan had to have a Dragon Happy Napper

We spent a nice evening with John, Joy and Jeff. We have a wonderful Turkey dinner and we visited, opened presents and even had time to play a game. It was a blast.

Christmas with the McIntosh's

The kids

Aunt Nicki opened her home to the get together. It was a lot of fun. The kids played, fought and played some more. All the kids got gifts from Grandma Vicki that was PJ's. The adults did a gift exchange and I ended up with a great Crock Pot 3 burner cooker and warmer. I used it and it works fabulous.

Evan: Can I put these on now???

Love them

Checking out the gifts.
