Merry Christmas

We have tons of ornaments on the tree. Different ones that we have collected throught the years...but my favorites are the ones my kids have made. This wreath made out of pasta and a pipe cleaner is so special to me. Especially since my daughter, who is now in high school, made it. Time just goes by way too fast. Before I know it The Princess will be in school and bringing home more ornaments that will hang proudly next to her sister's and brother's handmade ornaments.
On a side note...I know why I was so cold...I ended up getting the flu. It lasted a couple of weeks, but I feel much better now and I'm not so cold anymore!
Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Ready for Christmas

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I did...we were blessed with good food and family...that's what life is all about! Now I'm ready for Christmas...and so is The Princess!

I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!

My big princess

Princess Tatiana

Sparkles The Clown

Shani...you look so cute!



Last Saturday I took my princess to the local halloween parade. It was downtown & anyone with a costume could participate (including pets!) Princess Tatiana chose to just watch this year. After the parade we had fun trick-or-treating at the downtown shops. Even though our town is growing fast it still has that small town feeling. You can always count on running into somebody you've know for years! It's especially nice around the holidays.

I hope everyone had a fun & safe 4th of July. Luckily we can see the fireworks in our town from my house. Here's a cute pic of my niece Lona waiting for the fireworks to start.
