Christmas with all of the families....

Christmas was good this year. We love it, but are always happy to say goodbye until next year. To be honest I can't even remember what all we did because it has been so long ago.......haha. So I am just going to post a few pics and move on!!!!

Meet Marley "Mars" Crites

Marley, is our new Golden Retriever that Santa magically brought. Needless to say I was not as excited as the girls were in the beginning. He has grown on me over time though, and he is by far the smartest dog we have ever owned.

Where do I start?????????

I have been soooo very lazy with my blogging. Thank you, Angie, for pointing that out to me every single day. So here we go. A month of catching up. We have been busy. Since Christmas, we have gotten a new dog, London has began cheering (every Saturday), Jeremy has started a new job, Brooklyn is running now, and I have quit Smoking!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we have had a year already full of new beginnings!!!

Ho Ho!!

Just a little holiday cheer. I hope all of you are having a great Christmas.

We beleieve...in you

Last Wednesday we took the girls to see Santa!!! This was the first year London wrote her Santa letter by herself. It was so cute. She got the Toys-R-Us add and began her list, her long list. Unfortunately for her, Santa only brings one gift to our house. Sorry London, Mommy doesn't like to be out done by Mr. Clause. Anyways, we were off to see Santa. I took a few pictures of her list on the way there because I knew she was dead set on leaving it with Santa. London went first and gave Santa her list. He laughed as he was reading it. See, when she was copying the list she included some of the name brands just as they appeared in the add. Next it was Brooklyn's turn. We have yet to find anything this child is afraid of and this includes Santa. She staired at him a little, but sat long enough for a picture. So til next year Santa...it was fun. We Beleieve in you........

Christmas parade

Monday night was our Christmas parade. London rode in it with her softball team, Bing Bang Boom. Her float came by so fast that we almost missed her. It was Brooklyn's first parade and she loved it. Jeremy and I have never seen her be so still for so long. Sonya came down with the boys, and I think Jacob approved of the parade. He was in heaven after the candy started raining down on us. He had his pockets full, Sonya's pockets full, a bag full, and he was throwing the rest under Sonya's legs. Soo cute he is. And lets not forget Mathew. What a happy little one. Those two might just be the cutest little boys I know!!! Well done Sonya and Billy.

Thanksgiving PTO program

A few weeks ago we had London's PTO program at school. This was their cutest production yet. London told me she was going to be dressed as a turkey-indian. I said, "a turkey or an indian?" She said "a turkey-indian, mom!" Like I should know what that was. After many failed attempts to understand, I gave up and decided I would just wait to see the show. Never doubt your children!! She wore an indian dress (that she made herself at school out of a pillowcase) and a hat that had a turkey on it.....hence the indian-turkey. She was a star!!! It was a great way to quick off the holiday season.
