Ellie's Christmas program

Ellie's class at school put on a little program for the parents on the last day of school. It was really cute and I am sure Mrs. Teves put in many hours teaching her class of 5 year olds the 12 days of Christmas. Ellie's was ten Ladies dancing. She did such a great job and loved performing in front of everyone!

I love Christmas time

I think my favorite time of the year is Christmas. I love the decorations, I love the music, I love spending time with the family, and I love the feelings I feel watching my children during this time.
Sitting in my living room looking at my beautiful tree makes me happy so I thought I would share with you a picture of the tree I love so.

Every year since Michael and I have been married Michael has let me buy some christmas decoration of some sort. I have gotten some really cute things throughout the years but this years item I just love. It makes me smile everytime I come in the front door.

I have such a sweet husband who hangs my lights every year with no complaint. Aren't they so pretty!

Ellies birthday party

Really needing to update

Kauner has never had a birthday party and since he was turing ten I thought it would be nice to have a little party. Michael and I thought it would be fun to make it a surprise party so I called the parents of his friends and arranged the little event. I had my mom come and pick him up to go shopping for a gift from her and then his friends were dropped off at our home and we headed down to the bowling alley. Michael meet us there and then a little later my mom showed up with Kauner. I don't know if he was surprised or not but it was great seeing him walk in and us all standing there waiting for him. Michael stayed with the boys and bowled a few games and I headed home to get the pizza ready. After awhile they arrived home and we ate and just played for awhile. This picture below was a gift from Hayden. He made Kauner a lego building and wrapped it in a grocery bag. Kauner was so sweet to him and thanked him for the great gift. What a great moment.

I really wasn't up to making a cake for his little party so I made cupcakes instead. I was going to make bowling balls but I had a ton of orange frosting so Basketballs were made.

I love this picture of my nephew Luke. He loves the guitar and every time he comes to my house he carries around the guitar hero guitar. I love hearing him say the word geetar is how he says it. He was playing with Uncle Michael over at Grandmas house.

Happy Birthday Mom

Happy Birthday Mom! We all love you so very much. It has been such a blessing living close to you and seeing you when ever we like. I am so happy to have you retired and are home in the middle of the day. Have a wonderful birthday.

Happy Birthday Ellie
