Countdown!

The Christmas countdown has begun!

Even our elf has returned...so exciting!!!

Let The Beatings Begin

Every year after Thanksgiving, we begin the painful ritual of trying to capture the perfect Christmas card photo...it is always a horrible experience! We (meaning me) do not want to send out terrible pictures so that everyone can comment on how poorly we have aged or how ugly our kids are! Honestly, if I had the money I would hire a professional photographer to create the cards for me every year!! Anyway...this was attempt number one-we will try again soon

(much to Chris and Owen's disappointment-can't you see how thrilled they are to be participants??)...

CASA Fashion Show

(sorry...blurry photo-I think the blur makes me look better/younger, though!)

Janda suckered me into helping with the CASA fashion show this year...it was actually a lot of fun and a very impressive set-up! I met some great people and got some cool new duds!

Halloween 2010

"Trunk or Treat" in our church parking lot

This year we had a "Cat in the Hat" and a "Dallas Cowboy Football Player".

Halloween has become the longest holiday! We now have 15 "Trunk or Treats" to attend prior to the real thing! Once you've been to a trunk or treat in a huge field with a hundred cars, bonfires, smores, trains, games, etc...trick or treating in your neighborhood on the 31st is kind of a let down!
