HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

When Christmas Comes to Town

Emery's dance recital.....
All ready to go, but had to wait for another hour...

Finally! Running in....

Saw the stage full of people and slowed down...

Ready to head backstage....

(no pictures of the actual event- just a lousy recording)
Greeted by Mitchell and cousins after the performance, who showered her with flowers.

Then Aunt Linda and Uncle Steve.

And Great Grandma.

And Grandpa and Grandma.

Emery had a few more fans (including Mom and Dad) who attended but did not get pictures taken.

The lousy recording (Emery is 4th from the right)...

It's beginning to look a lot like.....

Thanksgiving?!?!?!?

Happy Halloween!

Mitch was not interested in Halloween this year. He did not want to dress up, and he wanted to spend the night hanging out with friends, not family. He decided he would dress as a Cowboys fan so he could Trick or Treat with friends.

Emery and I went to Linda's. She fed us dinner and lots of fun! She made these pumpkins and bags for the family AND all the trick-or-treaters who stopped by. The bags were loaded with candy and toys.

Then she had time to make these.....

and these.....

It was raining while we ate dinner, but stopped when we were ready to head out. SUCCESS!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
