WOW it's December 31st!

WOW!! We can't believe it's New Year's Eve..what a month!

We had an awesome Christmas Eve in Ohio at my sister Stephanie's house.. it's always so much fun when we all get together..this year my sister Jen didn't make it home from Dallas, but with five more to go.. it was still eventful!! The little ones brought so much excitement..it makes you believe in Santa all over again!

Had a great Christmas Day at home.. Craig made a turkey in the oven and I think we played board games till I don't know when.. Carle is at an age it was..clothes, clothes clothes..but Santa did remember MOONSHOES.. who knew.. ha ha and Ms. Autumn got the neatest game called Rubiks Revolution.. I think Craig and I played with it more than she did

And finally Ms Ava arrived on the 27th! What a journey getting her here.. the airport bumped her off a flight then put her on another which landed well over 4 hours later and the little angel actually had to make a stop..(as they said in the CHIPMUNK movie we saw ...) HOLY NUTS!!!

She arrived safe and sound and full of giggles! Carle was at an indoor water park so Craig and I took Ava to an aquarium the first nite! By the time we got home, Autumn was anxiously awaiting..and had lots and lots of games to play!

Well with three girls running around, needless to say we stayed busy.. they dressed up, they danced (even Craig..thought he could breakdance..)played a lot of board games..(which I am wondering now.. how many times these girls have actually watched High School Musical..they sure knew those answers quick..hmmmmmmmmmm) We even celebrated our New Years Eve early on the 30th since we knew Ava had to start getting back on Louisiana time for her flight home... so what'd we do you ask?? We pulled some mattresses and lots of pillows to the living room every one found a spot about 8:30 or so and we watched UNDER DOG!! OMG... it was soooo funny!!!

Well, hope you enjoy the pics!! I'm sure we'll have more tomorrow.. sounds like we're finally getting some snow.. the girls already have their snow pants layed out!

Happy New Year Everyone!!

End of Year Update 2007

Well it's December and it feels like winter in Ohio! It's also starting to feel like Christmas with snow on the ground! Just thought I'd post a little end of year update..November was pretty busy (I think) cause it's December now and I'm not sure how it got here so quick! I do remember a little girl with black hair flew in from Louisiana to see us around Thanksgiving! Yes, it was Ms. Ava!! She's getting so tall. We took her to see the lights at the zoo with My brother, his wife and their son Chase..I'm still waiting for the pics but I'll be sure to upload them. It was a WONDERFUL visit..her and Carle enjoyed their newly decorated bedroom too..they decided they were too big for Cinderella so we went with the High School Musical theme.. and as you can see they loved it!

Now today is 12-07 so that means my Carle turns 10 tomorrow!! WOW..double digits!! Since we had her birthday with family on Thanksgiving we're just doing a little pizza and a movie with her friends tomorrow..can't wait!!

Carle just had her Christmas program last night also and Autumn will be having one on the 18th.

I'm pretty sure we're all set for Christmas (I hope the girls don't see this! ha ha) Craig and I got the girls all new sleds (BIG ONES) for Christmas..I know Ava's excited when she comes back on the 27th.. that girls loves the snow! Ava also will be going to Disney for the first time with her mom on the 12th - we'll be sure to post those pics too.. that's the other part of her gift from us also.. they're going to have SO MUCH FUN!

Well I'm sure the first of the year I'll have lots of pics to post.. so until then..
Happy Holidays to all!!
