Building Gingerbread Houses

My girlfriend had 5 kids and 5 adults over to build Gingerbread Houses. It was a chaotic, fun, messy time! And Chloe Jean had a great time!

Frosting Cookies

We made delicious and healthy cookies with whole wheat flour and a natural sweetner and decorated with Betty Crocker - Something for everyone!

Christmas cookies anyone - I made them myself! Let it Snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Trimming the Tree

Birthdays are over, now on to some more fun stuff. Chloe's aunt sent her a gift in the mail this week, and Chloe does not let a day go by without asking, "Can I open my present now?" "Is it Christmas yet? Can I open my present now?"

My friend's 5th Ballerina Birthday

Birthday Party! Look who's 4

Chloe has been waiting for the day she turns 4. She is now finally allowed to chew gum!! She ordered a case of pink bubble gum and she was overjoyed! Chloe had lots of friends over for her party. Here are the girls and their moms ...

and here are the boys sans moms!

Chloe was very happy to open her presents. Her favorite gift was a doll from grandma. She is letting her friend feed the baby. Gentle!!

She also loved, loved, loved her princess umbrella. In the house, outside, sunshine or rain... the umbrella must go up!

Thanksgiving

Well, here we are! Me and the babe - I am looking pretty good with a mouth full of metal! We had such a nice time this Thanksgiving, and we are still eating that 22 lb turkey! Yummy!

Haloween 2008

My little Pink Poodle did very well for herself again this year. We went to town for the annual Haloween Festivities. We went to our neighbors to show off and to visit a little. Mamma had fun and Chloe got lots of candy!

Me and My Buddy

Gotcha Day #3

October 10, 2005 was the day this little girl was placed in my arms, a momentous day for all! At pre-school she was asked to bring something for "show and tell." She brought the lamb we had sent to China for her before we got her. She told the story: I was in China and I got the bunny and it was very special. I love my bunny." Her teacher was very attentive and happy for her.
