Merry Christmas!

We are getting ready to celebrate Christmas. The kids are very excited for Christmas! I am taking all next week off to spend with the kids. John has Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off of work. I will post some pictures from all of our festivities one day next week.

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Here is a photo of Ellie and Brody that we had done at our Church. Lifetouch came in and did our new directory pictures. I wasn't to happy with our directory picture however I loved the picture they got of the kids. We ended up ordering one. They are both smiling and look ADORABLE!

Here is Ellie after her Preschool Christmas Program. She did wonderful singing and she looked so beautiful! Her "GG" gave her $5 so she bought herself and Brody an ice-cream at Dale's after we had dinner.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, we sure did! We had brunch with John's parents then went to My Dad's for dinner and then my Mom's for snacks. Then that evening Ellie, my sister Hali and I went shopping. Ellie really wanted to go (I think because Aunt Hali was going with me)! We only went to Wal-Mart and Target so we weren't out to late just till about 11. Still way past Ellie's bedtime. She did great though. She kept saying, "Whats the problem here!?" in Target.

We went to the new Hibachi grill in Muncie with our friends Friday night. It was very good. Brody was terrified of the fire the chef's made to start the meals.
