Tessa the Artist

Couldn't resist to share this drawing of the Grinch that Tessa drew just by looking at a picture on the computer. Proud Mama moment. ;)

Santa's Workshop

Jingle was up to it again. He created a Santa's workshop for the girls: complete with a toy invention and inspection station and a gift wrap station.

The girls were so excited they started wrapping anything they could get their hands on and putting them under our tree. :)


Teah's Christmas performance














Annual Parade of Lights and Weekend Downtown

Every year we get a hotel room downtown and brave the cold to see the Parade of Lights. 



We're not out in the cold too long though. Here we are at the Cheesecake Factory. Yum!


The kids' favorite part is the hotel for sure! Silly monkeys.









Oh and of course the hotel pool. (That actually might be first.)



This year we got to go to a special breakfast the next morning at Maggianos where the girls got to meet Santa!








Fun weekend for sure!

Jingle's Back!!!

 December came and we found this sitting on our front porch.





Guess who was back??

Yep...our mischievous elf. And he brought a new ornament and jammies! 


Check out the excitement!

November Randomness

So November hit and we went from 60s and sunshine


to 30s and snow.

 ....With lots of static.


Still manages to have some fun though.


We ate with the Pilgrims and Indians. :)

The kids got creative with some boxes.

And Daddy practiced his fort making skills.

Play Time

The girls and I (and a friend) went to see a performance of Hairy the Dirty Dog at our local theater.
