Avery B. turning Xander into frosty

We had Xander's kindergarten Christmas party today, the kiddos made marshmallow snowman and dressed each other up like frosty. Roe entertained herself of course.

Mission accomplished

Who needs a walker when you can push around a box. Jude moves in on the tree and goes for his favorite, what looks like a ball, but doesn't bounce so well.

Sassy shoes

Merry Christmas Friends!

The Robbens and Gillams hosted a progressive dinner that was phenomenal! We did a little dancing, had great food and company, the boys were a little wild and the peppermint cups were heavenly. (pic above)

Happy 38th Ang!

My sister turned 38, WOW! Roe helped her decorate a cake yesterday morning with a picture of a princess on it. I had to include a great 80's pic of the hair of her and her hubby. She is one hot mama.

Ice Age Continued...

What we thought was going to be a slumber party turned in to a week long stay with our friends. The kids didn't seem to mind, actually Roe cried when we came home! We have POWER! Our neighbors across the street are still without, prayers for them.

Ice Age

We have been living in the ice ages in these parts with no electricity. Actually, the Say's have been vacationing at Crockers house (one of the few with electricity) the past 3 days. Thanks to Team Crocker who have graciously entertained us with steak, wine and bubble baths while our home is 55 degrees!

Santa's little helper

We've been promising Xander a santa hat for days, (he loves to play santa, imagine that). Target's ad today showed santa hat's for 3.49, went in for a santa hat, all out (imagine that) left with a santa suit.

Dancing queen

Roe got to perform with a bunch of her friends at the mall this evening to Rudolph the red nose reindeer. She got a little freaked with all the people, but after a little bribe with some lipgloss from Claires she did fabulous (for a 3 1/2 yr old) and smiled through it.
