Happy Birthday Melissa !!

We celebrated Melissa's fourth birthday on Sunday and she had a blast. She got her princess castle cake that she wnated desperatley. She also got an array of girlie presents. I cannot believe how big she is getting. Somedays I think ahe is 20 not 4. She acts so big and grown up. She always comes up with funniest things to say and do. I am so thankful that I get to be a stay at home mom and spend all this time with her. I would hate to miss any of it.

The Queen !

Here is Melissa in her diva/queen mode. She loves being the center of attention. She is such a little entertainer.

Christmas Morning

What a Christmas !!

Santa was extremely kind to us this year. I suspect that the kids bribed him somehow or maybe it was blackmail. Either way they had a great christmas. They all seemed to get the things they wanted most. Kylie got her new mp3 player, her ears pierced, makeup, and lots of girlie stuff. Scott got his remote control helicopter, WII Star Wars Lego game, amd lots of fun boy things. Jason got a remote control truck, helicopter, legos, and more toys than he needed. Sarah got a Webkinz, An Amazing Allyson Doll, lots of barbies, and many other fun things. Melissa got her 4 baby dolls, A THRONE( you heard me right a throne) She sits in it and shouts orders at the kids. She recieved lots of dressup things. She truly is a princess now. I got a beautiful necklace from Jeremy that has I Love You written in 240 languages. He always gets me the greatest gifts. He got an mp3 player and Firefly.

Let It Snow !!

The kids have been having so much fun playing in the snow. I can't belive how long they stay outside. Of course when they come in there is snow everywhere. I have to stop them from tromping it all over the house. It has been snowing for a couple days and it is supposed to snow a couple more. I wish the snow would stay on the grass and leave the roads clear. I hate driving in the snow.

Decorating the tree

We love to decorate the tree. We turn on christmas music and break out the egg nog. We really love christmas. It is nice to have that wonderful spirit that accompanies this time of year. The kids really look forward to this every year. Melissa was so excited she had to tell everybody she saw that she was going to decorate the tree.

Oh Christmas Tree !

One of our favorite things to do at christmas time is to pick out and decorate our tree. We had a great time doing this. There is this great little place we go too. They have a santa's village complete with Santa (on the weekends). They have several little picture opportunities, hot cocoa and candy canes. You can cut down your own tree or choose one pre-cut. It is so much fun the kids really have a blast.
