COOKIES AND SANTA 2009


A few days before Christmas Eli decided "we need to make gingerbread cookies" although he had never had them before.
Isaac helped press down on some cookie cutters as well...but really enjoyed eating them more than making them.

Megan, Chelsea, Ben, Eli, Isaac and I walked a few blocks from our house where Santa visits once a year. I think the teens enjoyed it more than the kids...lol

IN SEARCH OF TABLES

I spent my drive to work with the radio off, not on purpose, rather by default. My thoughts were wrapped up on a photo taken August of 1997. Ben was 5 years old, wearing a light sweater, new clothes, and hanging down held by his hand on his right side a pencil box (which contained crayons and not one pencil).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICK

Image
We celebrated Rick's 48th Birthday. The I and the boys got him a mug, a DVD (comedian), a shirt and framed pictures of themselves. We just can't say enough about Rick and how loved and important he is to me and the kids. I'm sure every woman feels their husband is the best, but I truly look up to Rick for a multitude of reasons. He is by far the smartest, most level headed, GIVING, man I know. I have never seen a man so patient and full of grace. His birthday is always a day I thank God for placing him in my life and his mom and dad for raising him to be the God honoring husband and father that he is. WE LOVE YOU RICK! HAPPY BIRTHDAY.....LOVE, ANNIE AND THE BOYS
