Happy 1st Birthday Brogan!

Christmas Morning

Mallory's Class Party

Mallory's class at school was adopted by a very generous couple.  They host all of the classroom parties for this very special group of kids all year.  I had a chance to sneak down to the Christmas Party that they had at a local church (guess the classroom wasn't going to be big enough). 

The kids were all very excited.



Santa Claus came to the party along with his elves.



The kids were spoiled with a large amount of gifts.

Mallory loved getting a new hat and gloves.

Each kid had their own stocking full of more goodies.

It was a pretty emotional time for me.  This couple spent a great deal of time to prepare for this party and spent a large amount of money.  The atmoshpere was so loving and the kids were all smiles.  To think that this couple chose to do this.  It was pretty humbling. 

Christmas Tree Lane

Visitors to our town during the holiday season are in for a treat in the evening when they see the brightly lit Christmas trees along two major avenues. Every year the City obtains donated cedar trees and places them in the front yards of homeowners. The homeowners light and/or decorate the trees as they like.  The kids and I have so much fun with our tree.  We can never get enough of it.

No Fear.

Todd recently placed a new liner in the chimney.   I'm glad it was a one-man job.  He would've had a hard time getting me up on that roof.  Like I've said before, it's nice having a husband who is a Jack-of-All-Trades.  It's more work on him, but nice on the bank account.

Moments when I didn't have my camera.

Some of the best moments in life happen when I don't have my camera. 

Thank goodness for the camera phone! 

I recently took the time to figure out how to download these photos to my computer.
