Christmas Program

The kids had their christmas program tonight. Here are several pictures to share. http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0AZNGLRk2buGLnI&emid=sharview&linkid=link5

Here are just a few...

My pride, my joy, my life.

I cannot believe how much they grow. I will have to try and do a blog entry with a Christmas Picture from in front of the tree for each year that has passed.

It is amazing how quickly time goes by.

My Drew bird, my Moochie Head. Oh what this boy has taught me about having a son! He still likes to snuggle, he still lets me rub his head and give him kisses. He is an excellent reader. He loves to create and explore. He loves Jesus. He has his first loose tooth. I will be sad when it falls out. He loves his Mama and his Dad, and will use “who’s baby are you” to his best advantage! He is not so much a baby anymore. He likes for mom to have a happy face and does not like to disappoint me. I think he will always be a mama’s boy.
My Khloe girl. She made banana bread last month all by herself! She wants to be a Mommy. She is going to make someone a wonderful wife and mother. She is so affectionate and will smother you with cuddles. She has beautiful eyes that she got from Rich's mom that passed away when he was 18. She has a wonderful laugh, and when she laughs, those eyes sparkle. She has just started piano lessens. I cannot believe how grown up she looks in this picture!

My Kait who is so smart and driven and independent. She has a bright future in front of her. She is so much like me it is sometimes painful! She is beautiful, she is funny, she loves to sing, she loves animals she loves American Girl Dolls (at 10!! I am so thankful she is still playing with dolls!). She plays the piano and the clarinet. I think that someday, we will be best friends.
Kaitlyn playing piano durring the opening of the Christmas Program at school tonight.
Khloe had her first lessen this month. She also performed tonight at the opening of the Christmas Program. She did a wonderful job!
This program is K-4th grade. Here is the finale.

American Girl Trip

The girls and I took a trip up to Chicago to the American Girl Store. Each girl got to invite a friend. Kaitlyn took Cali Jo and Khloe invited Makayla. Makayla's mom Trish came along and so did Grandma Penny!

Here are our girls at Ed Debevics.

The waitress did not like American Girl dolls and made them sit at their own table!!

The beautiful windows at AGP.
