Hookie Cookie Day

December 16, 2008

I surprised the kids with a day off to stay home from school to bake cookies with my mom and I. We burned a lot of cookies, made a big mess and had a bunch of fun.

Greek Wax Museum

Last Tuesday was the Greek Wax Museum for the 6th graders. They all were given a God or Goddess to play. They did a written report, a costume and a 30 second speech on who they were. These kids and their parents are so creative. I took lots of pictures so that I have some ideas in two years when Johnny has this project. (I don't have much experience with boy outfits). While all the news is talking about the horrible shape our country is in, I can't help but focus on how grateful I am for a great husband and wonderful kids. This is what life is all about for me. There is never a dull moment in my life. Every inch is filled with greatness.

Holiday Fun

The chicks and I cleaned up the house and then we invited all the neighborhood kids over for some cinnamon ornaments. We made huge mess.

Our Family Tradition

Merry Christmas to All
One of our family traditions is to go to the mall for a picture with Santa. We choose a different theme every year, dress up, head out to the mall for about one hour of embarrassment. It is the official beginning of our holiday season.
