Tis the Season for Traditions!

 

Traditions are some of the most memorable and precious moments in our lives...especially putting up the Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. My kids loves rediscovering the ornaments and decorations while listening to Christmas music...they don't like the clean up after but who does!  We truly love getting the house ready for the holidays!

  

  

  

 

Christmas is so much fun when you have kids to remind you of the spirit of the Holidays!

Girls Just Gotta Have Fun...

Girls Just Gotta Have Fun....even if it's to see "New Moon"!!!! It was the Ultimate Girl's Night Out!!! We decided to make it a dinner and movie night and we had a BLAST!  We ate good food but it was being with friends that make it better....bring seven women together for dinner and WOW...I couldn't stop laughing!

 

We headed to the movie and my goodness the line was long with teenage kids and some older and beautiful women like us waiting to get our seat. To pass the time, I took some photos(with I discover somehow my flash on my camera has been turned off and it took me a while to figure it out and I just was able to fix it on one setting but anyway....)

Then I had fun taking fun photos of myself and Lindsey and there's some funny ones because I didn't realize it was on zoom and I was getting double chins....

 

and Lindsey couldn't stop laughing!

 

Finally a good photo and then the movie began and it was GREAT especially because I went with some awesome women...didn't get home until 1:30am and I felt the affects that morning but it was WORTH it!

And Now It Begins......

Mother Nature decided to grace us with snow and not just a trace! Don't get me wrong, I do love the snow it's that I'm not ready for it and my city has MAJOR ISSUES with plowing the roads! Last winter the plow came to our neighborhood only three times and the streets were a mess! Anyway, it is sure pretty to see my backyard becoming a winter wonderland and the kids love it. My kids reminded me how fun and special snow is and here are some photos of them returning home from school in the snowfall.

 

 

 

Halloween Fun!

I love Halloween as much as the kids and I love getting into the spirit of it! The costumes and the decorations are so much FUN! We had so much fun decorating our pumpkins...so much cleaner this way. We celebrated Halloween at our friend's house and had a Blast at the PARTY! Then we went Trick or Treating and came home with too much candy and we are all on a SUGAR HIGH but hey it's all for the spirit of HALLOWEEN!
