Letters to Santa . . .

Then I said something to Grace about having something for Caden, something for me, but nothing for Chris. Here is what she did - So FUNNY!!!

Merry Christmas!!

Here's a new pic of the family :)

Survived Camp!!

Woo Hoo!! Last week I went to Collin County Adventure Camp with my 5th graders. I was really dreading going, but we had a great time. The cold weather on Wednesday was not favorable . . . especially sitting in a canoe on the lake when you can't feel your fingers or toes and praying that the 3 kids in the canoe with you stay balanced and don't splash you!! I was very glad to be home and we had a weekend full of Christmas parties. I still have a to do list from you know where to do, but I am looking forward to the last day of school on Friday!!

Where has this month gone?!?

I can't believe that it's Thanksgiving and then Christmas. I have NOT.ONE.PRESENT.PURCHASED!!!! Thank heaven for online shopping!! We've had a crazy last couple of weeks . . . Grace got the worst stomach flu of her life. She was sick literally every 10 minutes and ended up popping blood vessels in her eye because she was so sick. As of right now I'm home with Caden and he also has the stomach flu. Poor little baby.

We were supposed to go to the ranch for Thanksgiving, but that fell through yesterday. One of my dad and Chris's hunting buddies passed away down at the ranch yesterday. The funeral will be some time this week so I know that we will be attending that one. Richard used to teach with Phil and one was one of the hunters that I've know for as long as I can remember. He will be missed. There are only two of the original hunters left on the lease now. Very sad.

School PIcs . . .

Grace is getting retakes because I don't like the gap in the front. I'm not quite sure why the photographer had her lean so far forward, but I LOVE the smile on Caden :)

Thomas at Love and War . . .

We went to go hear our friend Thomas Michael Riley sing last night at Love and War in Texas with some of our friends. He is such an awesome performer!! This is him in the middle. Chris uploaded a video on his face book of our favorite song, "Tommy".
