Max's First School Program

What a big night. Tonight was Max's preschool Christmas singing program. The church was packed-- at least a couple 100 parents. I was nervous for him because he doesn't like all those eyes on him. He did GREAT! He stood right in the middle, sang all the words and even did all the actions. Before we went to bed we did our nightly " favorite things". Max said "Going to my school thing and having Emily and Morgan watch me sing." I think he was so excited for the family to be going to HIS thing instead of his big sister's events. A very proud mom :-)

Ho Ho Ho .....it's Monday Morning

Our Little Artist

This summer Emily took a week long art class at a local studio here in Beaverton. Every month My Masterpiece Art Studio sends out their newsletter. Emily's art was featured in the October and December issue. In the top picture the four layered cake is hers and the couch is her creation in the bottom photo. Watch out Van Gough!

Sunny December....at least today!

Taking Advantage of the Moment

Tonight I was semi- organized for dinner which lately has not been the case. The downstairs was fairly picked up and the kids were content. I decided to light all of my candles downstairs, have a glass of wine and read my book while I waited for Wayne to come home from work. It was so nice to enjoy the holiday decorations and BE in the moment. Might have to do this more often :-)

Tonight's Festivities

Tonight Morgan lost another tooth. It has been a long time since she has lost one....almost thought we were done.



Well the rain as stopped for a while so Wayne decided to put up the outdoor Christmas lights and the snowman. "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas"
