Early Christmas Eve

Before we left for Christmas in Pennsylvania we had an early Christmas Eve with Marylynn and Tyler on Saturday, 12/19. We started with dinner at Ruby's at South Coast Plaza and the kids had special hats made. We then had our Christmas program and opened up a few gifts. One of the most wonderful parts of Christmas is the time you spend with family and to participate in the excitement of children.

Buster looks like his head is being devoured by the frog hat he had made. Of course Cricket has a princess hat.

Here are two "wanna be" frogs. Do you think Tyler is trying to catch flies or auditioning for Kiss?

We got home and read the Christmas story in Luke 2 and enjoyed the family and the warm fire.

Here is Tyler opening up his new white shirt.

It just so happens that Cricket got a new Razor scooter, which is the exact one that Lily opened up on Christmas day.

Awkward Pictures

Sometimes you look at an old picture and you wonder, "What were they thinking?" when you see something especially awkward or embarrassing. Well, we have just something that fits this scenario. This is our daughter Katie going to a Mutual activity, and I know you were thinking she was off to high school.

As you can see, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The first picture is with her mother, Mary.

Trick or Treat Baby Boy!

This picture reminds me of Don doing the exact same thing to his children...the silliness continues! You turn into your father....like it or not! poor Lily!

We went to Outback Steak House for John's birthday! So much fun to spend time with their family!

We of course had to go to Hershey park for the ride and yummy shakes....tradition! Cute family!! John, Lily, Tyler & Jaime !

A cheek to cheek shot of my joy boy Halloween baby boy!
