Christmas Pictures

Mom and Dad with Sam, R.G. Becca and Ben

Ben with his presents from Santa

Christmas Eve dinner...The table cloth Grandma June (Jason's mom) made. Isn't it pretty?! The kids made the gingerbread house.

All Sam wanted from Santa was the Bat Cave!!

Christmas Eve--- playing outside.

Notice how deep the snow is!!!!!!!!

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!! Sorry the pictures aren't in order-- sometimes the blogger doesn't like me:)

Songs we're singing....

We all LOVE this song--maybe a little too much because we walk around the house singing it NON-STOP!!! The video just makes me laugh

This song is a favorite of Sam's- he sang it in his program. You should see him do the movements when it gets to the 'hula-hoop' part

This is just one of my all time favorite songs---I think because it's all the 'cool' performers from my youth:)

Holiday Programs

Ben's program was today....he is in the white shirt with the tie. He did a nice job and kept giving me the thumbs up:)

Here is Sam at his program (on Monday) Jason went to it.... and he said that Sam did a super job!

Grateful

After spending the better part of a week 'mumbling and grumbling' (a nice way to say how bad I've been complaining) about the unfairness of life...I finally feel that I've seen the light at the end of the tunnel and can be positive about the following things:
*a grandma who is in the hospital-- BUT is doing much better!!
*a family that doesn't kick me out of the house-even when I'm grumpy
*the justice system-- my class was cancelled tonight because the instructor is on the jury in a federal trial-- what a GREAT surprise 2 weeks before Christmas-- an extra 3 hours!!!!
*gas at $1.59 a gallon!! If only I could stock up for our summer vacation to Maine!
