A fresh set of "Dennis tracks" on the steps. The boys are upset that we didn't get much snow.

**Flashback from 2004**

It's one of those, "you had to be there" pics, so you'll have to trust me when I tell you it was funny! lol Brad was playing with very strong magnets and to be funny, he put them on his nose. What this pic does not show is when we tried to get them off. Funny turned into panic, in seconds! LOL (I can laugh now because he wasn't hurt, but I will admit it was a bit scary.)

December 28

Time flies, but this is a clock I'll enjoy watching.

Thanks Mom!! :)

December 27

Chrissy, Santa, and Dawn.

(Trevor works with my sister, Chrissy, and tonight was their Christmas party.Trevor took me along as his guest and I won a $25 Wal-Mart gift card! YAY!)

"Lefty" is up to bat!

Santa was here!

(Collin won't part with those too small pj's! lol)

Wii wish you a Merry Christmas! (YES!! We did find one!)

December 24

I guess singing lessons wouldn't hurt? They should sing as loud as they yell in the house! LOL

December 23

Corey, Collin, and Memmy's Gingerbread house.

December 15

Twins!

Corey and his Great-Aunt, Linda (she's my Aunt and she is great!). He said they were twins because they both looked the same with their "Santa" hats on. I'm thinking they're fraternal? LOL

December 14

My mom gave me this angel a few weeks ago and told me she (the angel) would help solve all of my problems. I guess, in a way, Mom was right. I'm not quite out of the slump yet, but when I see the angel I think of my mom and just thinking of her makes everything better. :)

December 13

We didn't get a lot of snow but what fell from the sky was wet and frozen. Collin got himself dressed and went out to shovel the steps. I should've taken an "after" pic because he did an awesome job! :)

December 12

I didn't get the camera out today, so instead I'm sharing a comparison of one of our traditions. Top pics are from Dec. 2003 (they were almost 2 years old) and the bottom are from this year (almost 6 years old).

Funeral was today.

My messy-faced boys at Uncle Leon & Aunt Pat's party.

December 7

It's still on the road? Our "old" van. We sold it to someone that fixed it up and sold it again. (It's the same van I hit the deer with.) Corey and Collin want it back. LOL

December 6

Kitty hygiene.

Almost finished with the outdoor decorations.

Making ornaments at "Craft Night" at their school.

Finished ornaments and messy faces from snacking!

December 2

"Fluffy" is all tucked in and ready for bed. (You can't tell Corey that it's "Blue" from "Blue's Clues. It's "Fluffy"....end of discussion!) Corey couldn't go to bed until "Fluffy" was comfy.

December 1

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
