Tea Time

 

Sammy needed to relax and have a spot of tea today.

Sports Banquet

Tonight we headed out to the football sports banquet and decided to have a little fun with the camera before we left.  Of course both kids would not cooperate at the same time!!  The kids and I dined and dashed, while Daddy stayed for the awards.  Momma's willing to get dressed up if that means not having to cook dinner!

A Christmas Story

 

Today we found Sammy reading Christmas stories. He even brought us a new book to read!!

Gabbi's Birthday

Thomas' horrible wrapping job!

I don't know how is' possible, but somehow Miss Gabriella Rose turned 12 years old today.  She's truly a sweet, smart, and kind hearted young lady, but she is starting to get that pre-teen attitude!  We celebrated with lasagna, salad, and bread from Panera followed by birthday cake (with Advent candles because we couldn't find the birthday candles!!).  Gabbi got everything she needed to finish decorating her bedroom. She got new sheets, a blanket, and comforter, plus curtains and an owl wall decal.  She also got new boots, a shirt, and a picture to hang on her wall.  She came out on top for sure!

Gabbi-Pickles LaRue--you are loved!!!!  Happy Birthday!!

A Little Treat

 

Today Sammy brought us some fruit snacks.  It was a nice little treat and a great way to bribe the kids to get up and moving on this sluggish Monday morning!

Yay Sammy!!

 

He went poop on the potty!!!  We are sooo proud of you, and are hoping that Amelia is taking notes.  Alex swears it's chocolate in the toilet, but I told him to get his face away from it.  I asked him if he really was going to try it to figure it out.  Glad he didn't try!

Another Visit with Santa

 

 

Santa and Mrs. Claus made a little stop in Williamsville today, so needless to say, we had to go visit.  We colored, watched the trains, had cookies, candy, and juice and obviously told our wish lists to Santa.  Amelia was a little more friendly with this Santa, but she was still pretty unsure.  No tears, so it's a win in my book!
