Gettin Ready For Christmas

Hannah kept asking me as I was putting up the Christmas tree when was Santa coming. I told her in 3 more weeks, but of course she couldn't understand how long that is going to be. So, this morning as she came down the stairs, she started to get upset and I asked her what was the matter. She told me, "Momma there is no presents under the tree." "Why didn't Santa come to our house". So, Justin and I had to explain to her exactly what takes place around Christmas time. After that she was okay. She thought Santa had forgotten her.

Happy Thanksgiving and Birthday

As Thanksgiving has past, I have alot to be thankful for. 8 years ago I gave birth to a healthy 8pds. 7 oz. baby girl, Maurissa Nicole. It just so happened this year her birthday fell on Thanksgiving Day. With family and friends over yesterday, we had such a great time pigging out on turkey, ham, dressing, and all that other good stuff. I am blessed to have such a wonderful loving husband who has been such a great dad to the girls and boys. This was a wonderful Thanksgiving....A big THANKS to Crystal for watching the girls as Justin and I got up at 3am to fight the madness crowd at Wal-mart so we could get those great deals they had.

Alex's B-Day Party

Alex had a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese today and we all had a great time. He cried when he saw Chucky. Poor thing, he was so scared that he was shaken to death. After he had calmed down, we had cake, presents and some fun time. Happy 2 year old Birthday, Alex.

Maurissa's B-Day Party

Maurissa's birthday falls on Thanksgiving Day this year, so last night we had her a birthday party at Chick-fil-A and then afterwards we went to see High School Musical 3. She was allowed to envite 5 girls, but instead she envited 4 girls and a boy Gavin. Her and Gavin have been friends since kindergarten...I actually think they have a little of a crush on each other. We had a blast until we had to wait in the freezing line outside to get our movie tickets. It was alot of fun to hear the girls talk about which boys they thought was cute in their class on they way home as I was meeting their parents. They are only 7 & 8 years old...but sure are growing up fast. I wish Maurissa a Happy Early Birthday and hoped she enjoyed her party last night. She has been asking for a pink Nintendo DS and told her they were to expensive. Boy, was she surprised when she opened her present from me and her Dad. The very first thing she wanted to do when we got home from the party was to play her DS. No telling what time she went to bed last night.

Boxing!!!

It is funny watching Josh and Maurissa playing the Wii. Look how involved they get into the game. We got the Wii for the kids as a christmas gift, but someone couldn't wait till then...(that someone is Justin)...so needless to say they got it as an early christmas present.

Happy Halloween
