Bad day

Today the ceiling fan crashed down from our 22' ceiling. Luckily nobody was in the room!!!!

Randomness

I like this new blogger app I found for my phone....it's so easy to "update". Too easy. Expect random moments of mommy pride to be on display here :-). Starting with Delaney's haircut and David's drawings:

Adam and Eve?

More house pix

Selling House

I'm looking for feedback on the pix I want to post to sell the house. I never realized how hard it was to get lighting and angles right when taking pix of rooms!!!

SMILE!!!

Meeting Santa 2011

This year we went to the base tree lighting ceremony and then went to meet Santa Clause.  The tree was very pretty and when making this post I realized I didn't get a single picture of the tree.....I did however get PLENTY pictures of my cuties......

Here they are waiting for the lights to come on:

 They passed out "light sticks" which made waiting a bit more fun:

Little Delaney:

 Sweet David:

 Then it was off to meet Santa and have cookies and hot chocolate.  Santa, as always was an adventure.

David did VERY well:

 Delaney, not so much......

 This was the best picture we could get of the two kids (close) to Santa:

 Otherwise this is what we got.....

 The good news?  Delaney was quite happy when it came to cookie time :-)

 Daddy and the kids with their cookies and "candy straws" (that is what David calls Candy Canes)

Like a mirror.

Some things just don't need an explanation.....

Thanksgiving Family Visit

 Early last week we were thrilled to welcome Momma Shedd for a much anticipated visit.  As she usually does, she brought tons of fun for the kids including a GINGERBREAD HOUSE KIT!!!  The kids spent a wonderful afternoon eating candy and frosting, decorating their house.

Mid week Uncle Todd made HIS much anticipated appearance.  They both were wonderful with the kids and read stories for hours and hours on end.  The kids were in heaven!!

 Then came Thanksgiving.  It was the first Thanksgiving we have had family over to our house and it really showed us all we had to be thankful for:

We had a wonderful time together and are so thankful that our family was able to spend the time with us.  In fact, we had such a wonderful time we didn't get nearly as many pictures as I would have liked but this is what we did manage to get:

 The Girls:

The Boys:

David was pretty lukewarm on the whole Thanksgiving meal until he discovered PUMPKIN PIE!!!  It was soooooo good he just had to share it with his bear:

(While David wasn't overly thrilled with the meal his mom was quite proud of the Turkey she and Momma Shedd made so please admire it in the forefront :-))

Delaney just loved the food.  She always does:

And just because I am their mom,  and this is my outlet to brag on my kids here are two cute pictures of two of the things I am most Thankful for:

After the thrill of Thanksgiving we got down to the serious business of decorating for Christmas.  At least some of us were serious about it.....some of us just wanted to play in the tree box:

Check back soon for updates on the Christmas decorating......

And a HUGE Thank You to Momma Shedd and Todd who absolutely MADE our Thanksgiving by visiting and sharing time with us!!!  We hope we have started a tradition this year :-).
