I'm 3

Look who is 3!! Who has a party in the suite at the staples center to watch basketball? Our only boy...too bad he won't remember. We got special permission to bring in gifts and decorate the suite.

We got a "give me s'more cake." I think he liked the cake more than the game. Dang good.

One day he will realize how sweet it is to be in a suite.
The Jazz won so that made it even sweeter for the birthday boys dad.

So glad to be done with December birthdays!!!!

Christmas 2010

This is our lion in the Nativity. He did not want to be a sheep but he would wear this if he was a mean lion. Can you imagine if there were a lion in the stable?

A couple other characters in the play.

Christmas eve pajamas from Grandma.

stockings...

Now onto the favorite gifts of this Christmas...

This is Taylor and her new full-size bed with all the accessories.

Carly finally got a pet. Her name is Cinnamon

Sydney says she loved her scooter but she has not taken those socks off.

Brody and Scott got matching ties.

I am a little disturbed by my favorite gift. I got great gifts but I keep wondering why i can't stop thinking about my new car mats. This is the before.

Now it feels like I own a brand new suburban with 110,000 miles on it. I love it. Is that sick? I think it is.

Christmas photo

This is our Christmas photo for 2010

It said

"Forget chestnuts, we prefer roasting s'mores

Merry Christmas!"

Believers

The two who still believe!!

I think next year he will be the only believer.
I am happy though that Sydney told me anything that is too expensive for me she will ask Santa for it.

Christmas miracle #2

Look at the shoes I wore to a Christmas party. A Christmas miracle!! Why is this a miracle? Remember my achilles injury? You would be surprised how much strength in your ankle it takes to wear these suckers.

This weeks guy time...Boy dress ups and tools!!! A small Christmas miracle!

Dress Drama

I have to go to a formal dinner and need a formal dress for the night. It is so frustrating. The dresses are either I need a man dress so I will show everything...or I am a grandma of the bride dress. I just want a dress that says I still look good after having 4 kids and am not a frumpy stay at home mom who can keep a man. Anyone know where to find that dress?

Loving December birthdays

Is it sad that my daughter just turned 7 and this is her first friend birthday party. It is so hard to have kids with December birthdays. I finally put some effort in and squeezed in a birthday party. We settled on a movie party.

My favorite part was that Tangled was all about the day of her birthday so it worked great with the theme.

I told the girls I rented out the theater for the party. I think everyone else in the world was Christmas shopping.

I normally like having a great cake of some sorts...not in Dec. Throw on some Tangled characters and call it good. Luckily she probably is my most easy going daughter and loved everything...even the cake. Happy 7th Birthday Syd!! I love you so much I will even throw you a party in Dec. Now on to my next Dec. birthday...Brody!

"GUY TIME"

In order for Brody to not be surrounded by girls all the time I have been arranging for play dates with his guy friend. This is what they chose to do for their guy time. I have nothing else to say about this.

Christmas addresses

I know everyone is done with me talking about London, but my joy lives on in my sweatshirt. I bought Taylor a matching one not realizing how much it would bother her to be twins. Now I wear it just to bug her.

On a side note...I know old friends look at my blog and I don't have addresses for Christmas cards. I would love it if you would email me your addresses.
