We are celebrating Ella's Birthday (December 13th). Brandon made this video for her last year, and I am ready to share it with our friend's and family. Grab the tissues.
Thank you Brandon,
We love you--Laura and Ella

I just have to share.  The pictures with the red borders: on the left is Jan 09 (my birthday party) and on the right, is Dec 09 (decorating the tree). 

WOW!  That, my friends, is 70 pounds!

These in the blue borders, are 2 face close ups (same pictures as before) and another one of me with the tree a couple of weeks ago.

 

 

 

 

 

 

              Thank you for all the support, and encouragement.  Next December, I’ll post again, and you won’t even recognize me!!!

THE FIRST DAYS OF CHRISTMAS

For the 1st 12 days of Christmas we…

 

Decorated the tree!  Lots of help from the kids, and dancing to the Christmas tunes!! 

                                               

 

Olivia and Alex dressed up in the red ribbon.  Silly kids!                                                                                                         

 

 

Hudson was trying to  get a laugh from his grumpy mom, so he dressed up like Santa.  It worked.  How could I be grumpy looking at this.  The kids loved it!  Thanks Hudson!

Brandon turned 33  he is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo old!  He had a great day off, played pool and bowled with his dad, and had the present happy kids at home!  We love you Dad!

There has been much else happening, but these are the only pictures I have!

HAIR OPEN HOUSE!

Hi ya’ll.  I have decided to have an open house on Saturday, Dec. 12.  Stop by between noon and 5pm.  I will have all my cute flowers and headbands on display, to look at, buy, or do a special order if I don’t have one ready for your Christmas Dresses!

Tell EVERYONE!  I would love to have a full house!!

I have tons of colors (red, burgundy, silver, gold, iridescent black/silver, gray corduroy……

Walking into work in the 8 inches of snow reminded me....... I HATE SNOW. I usually argue this with people, cuz I like the warm fuzzy clothes, and the bundling up. Hot cocoa, and a good movie.

However, it has been many years since I worked outside of the home....and this SUCKS. My feet are cold, the tires are bald. Thankfully it is fashionable to wear beanies all day, because I am freezing!

I love winter, and the holiday lights and parties. I even like the snow, but I do not like being in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas- Bah Humbug

Thomas' Christmas Funny

Today I was being weird (imagine!!) and singing in the kitchen, loudly and operatic and obnoxiously. There's No Place Like Home For the Holidays. I was interrupted by Thomas saying that the song didn't make any sense. So I explained: "that the people who live in Tennessee (that is a state in the south) want to go home to Pennsylvania (more north) for some home-made pumpkin pie. The Pennsylvania folks are driving down to Dixie's sunny shore (Dixie is down south). From Atlantic (ocean) to Pacific (ocean) see the traffic is horrific. Everyone wants to go home for the holidays and be with their family and traditions. So even when you move, you want to be back home."

"But, it still doesn't make any sense mom!"
"Why Tom, what don't you understand?"
"Well, why does this guy keep moving so many times??"

"Oh, (trying not to laugh too hard) cute kid...it's not a song about 1 guy...but everyone in the world..... "

Holy Cow, funny Christmas stuff this year!!
