Sledding

The boys wanted to go sledding ever since it snowed. They had a fun time going up and down the hill.

Elves?

I received an e-mail from my niece,friend and sister-in-law being elves and dancing. I put our family pictures on as well and we watched ourselves dancing funny dances. We laughed and laughed at ourselves. I think we look cute and who said John couldn't dance.

Mini Snowman!

We made our first snowman of the season. The only bad part was the snow would not pack very well. We ended up making a mini snowman with cool sunglasses and then having a snowball fight. I'm glad we are finally getting snow just in time for christmas.

Centerville Lighting Ceremony

Every year the park in Centerville is lit up with beautiful christmas lights. Tonight was a perfect night for this. It was warm but cool enough for a light jacket. A few local choirs came to sing including the school choir justin and jace are in. Then of course Santa came as all the children ran up to him with anticipation and excitement. What a wonderful night to share with my family and friends from the community.

Adopted Grandparents

Our next door neighbors in our old neighborhood our the boys adopted grandparents. We have a close relationship with them. Carol (grandma) called and invited the boys over for breakfast and listen to the polar express while drinking hot cocoa. It was so special of her and a very precious moment for all of us. This will be something the boys will never forget.

Thanksgiving

I love the holidays especially thanksgiving. Its fun to spend time with my family being grateful for what we have,eating lots of great food and playing fun games. My sister Kathy and her husband Ron drove from northern california to spend the holiday with mom and us. It was fun to sit around and give each other a hard time. Also catching up on whats going on in each of our lives. It was nice for mom to have some company even though she was tired and couldn't do to much. Family is and has always been very important to me. Without family unity whether its immediate or extended would make life quite boring. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! :)

TWILIGHT!!!!!

I know what can I say I loved the book and fell in love with Edward. The movie on the other hand was a disappointment. Why can't directors make a movie according to the book. Is it that difficult. I know they can't fit everything in but come on keep the scenes correct and pick actors that fit the part. The actors Jacob,Laurent and Jasper were a disappointment. There were some great accurate scenes but the Cullen house didn't even come close to what was written in the book. I apoligize to those who loved the movie maybe when I see it again I won't be as tired and might like it better.
