Merry Christmas To All

Wanting to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Hope your holidays are safe. We love you all.

Aubree Dance's

1st Grader's Sing

1st Graders sang this week at the Festival Of Tree's. Here are a few pictures of Aubree (she was standing by the light and my pictures didn't turn out well) and her friends.

Christmas Lights

Here are a couple pictures from Doc's Pizza. We went and had pizza with the family and watch santa turn on the lights and then the fire works. I took a lot of pictures with mom's camera, so hopefully I will get them and post them later. Shaylin was so cute watching the fireworks. She started saying "WOW" with me. The others all enjoyed spending time with their cousins, as usual, we don't get to spend enough time with them.

Riley & Scouts

Riley was so excited to be a part of the skit's his scout group and another scout group where going to do. That is until the time came to actually perform. He thought it would be embarrassing. He didn't want to do it any more. Any way he chickened out. After Clay & I talked to him and pretty much told him he didn't have a choice, everything would be OK, & sometimes there are things in life you have to do that you don't want to do. He ended up doing GREAT! He really did enjoy it. They went to to Care Center where there was maybe a total of 5 residents and the rest were church and family members. Here are a few pictures.

Thanksgiving With Grandma

We were able to go to Park View and go eat Thanksgiving dinner with Grandma. Now the food wasn't the best and it's not that fun wondering who is going to spill the first drink, but it was really nice. Grandma is doing really well, I think. She was up fixing her hair and was actually ready for us when we got there. Totally different from last year when she couldn't go out because her hair wasn't done and it took a half hour just to get her out of her room. She doesn't eat a lot because pretty much everything has to be like baby food, but she did enjoy her mashed potatoes and the pumpkin pie which was pretty good. I really enjoyed this opportunity that me & my family had. We love you grandma!

Looking For Idea's

So, we are way excited! My WONDERFUL in-laws are taking our family & my sister-in-laws family to DISNEYLAND!
I am just looking for idea's on how to surprise my kids. Sorry, Nick & Grace, you can't tell them right now. I don't want to hear about it for the next two months. Plus I just think it would be fun to surprise them.
We are planning on leaving one day early to go visit Dodie in Vegas, then the next day everyone else will meet up with us and hang out in Vegas for another night before we head to Cali.
Here are my idea's:

Wrapping a few presents and letting them open them along the way. I wonder if they really would get the hint.

Or this is my newest! We will be in the hotel at Vegas and everyone else shows up and we tell them then or we could always just wait til that next morning and say we are going with grandpa & grandma.

So, What does everyone else think? Feel free to leave a message, I would love to hear anyone's great idea's. I really am not that creative.

Thanks!
