Christmas cards!

All I am going to say is that for those of you getting our Christmas cards this year, I am sorry...getting 3 kids to sit and all look at the camera and smile at the same time is next to impossible. So I am posting some of the antics here. Hey, I did the best I could :)



In this one Jenna was VERY mad about wearing a headband with a big red bow on it. She claimed that, "she was NOT a baby". It shows on her face.


This one would have been perfect if it were not for Lucien blinking at the wrong time...
....and this one pretty much speaks for itself. I know Luc buddy, I feel the same way!

Cheerleading

Jenna is officially a cheerleader and Friday night she cheered at her first basketball game. The uniforms are not in yet but she had her socks, shoes, hair bow and pom poms. She was so exited and nervous but she did such a good job!

Holiday fun

Last night I had some work friends over for a night of good food and ADULT conversation (and drinks :)) we had a great time. The theme was sort of "sushi night" but I made some other foods as well..........we had so much food! It was all yummy especially my favorite cocktail the Aspen Sugar Daddy:

1 oz. vodka
1 oz. cointreau or triple sec
1 oz. amarula
1/2 oz. pomegranate juice
3 oz. good quality Margarita mix

Dessert was chocolate fondue. You can tell we had a good time. Today I started to try and take some pics of the kids for holiday cards. We shall see if I can pull it together in time. Luc is growing so much every day. He can stand is starting to try and take his first shaky steps. He is in to everything and is really just a very happy baby.

Really cute!

Thats all!

Pirates, fairies, witches, skunks, and yoda...oh my!

October has been a fun month and I can't believe that we already have to say goodbye. It went by so fast and the kids had a blast with Halloween this year. The week before we went to a party and Woodhaven country club. Jenna chose a pirate costume, Belle a spider witch and Luci was our little skunk...turned pirate at the end :) They all got into the part.

On Halloween they decided to switch it up a little. Jenna stuck with the pirate but Isabelle decided she wanted to wear her Tinkerbell costume and Lucien was Yoda...reluctantly. But he fell asleep 20 minutes after we started walking anyway.

It's my blog and I'll blog if I want to

Scroll over everything. My personal favorite is open the door on the left....several times.

My friend...

My best friend Julia got married today and I couldn't be more happy for her. She looked beautiful. Excuse me if I seem a little over mushy but I don't have any sisters. I never really spent time thinking about what that would have been like, but I guess how close I feel to Julia probably skims the surface of those emotions a little.....without any of the sibling rivalry ;)
