The Piano

Here is a picture of CC opening her gifts from her grandparents that live out of town. Below there is also a video...so cute. Thank you Grandpa D and Grandma S for the great new toys!!

Christmas Day

Happy Birthday Jesus.  CC kept saying Happy Birthday to Jesus whenever I would ask her why we celebrate Christmas.  Although surrounded by presents I want to make sure she knows what this day really means.  Here are some pictures.  Dad made a yummy ham and all kinds of fixin’s.  It was a glorious day!!

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we went to church with the grandparents and Lisa and Cheryl.  Then afterwards we came back to the house to make our traditional waffles and bacon. 

All of us at church…

Waiting for the waffles and bacon….

CC dancing with Grandpa…

Opening Grandma’s surprise present…

I love this picture, it reminds me of a picture of when I was little…

Dad copying CC’s “cheesy grin”  :)

Grandma’s Jello Salad

For Christmas dinner Dad wanted to make his grandma’s Jello salad.  We got the recipe from Grandma B and I have to say that it was yummy!  He was so proud of his Jello salad…can you tell :)

Our Snowman

The weather has warmed up and here is a picture of what is left of our snowman.  CC keeps saying that “God needs to make it snow again so we can make another snowman”.

Excellence Award

Here are a couple of more pictures taken at the breakfast when Dad received his Excellence Award.  There is a picture of him with his boss and with the president.  I am so proud of my husband.

The Cookie Party

Here are some pictures of our “Cookie Party”.  We made several different kinds of cookies, fudge, chex mix, caramel corn and had a lot of laughs.  I can’t wait until next year.

Making Chex Mix

Here are some pictures of CC and I making Chex Mix (Nuts and Bolts) for Christmas.  She likes to be so helpful in the kitchen.  Admittedly, Dad is better at letting her help than I am.
