The Tour of Lights, Visit to Santa, and a few dance moves by Evan

 

Evan says he wants a white tow truck. Do they even make them that color? Rylie is enjoying watching Evan. We toured this home with all the lights. This family does this every year and even gives each child a toy after their visit with Santa. It's become a tradition to visit here right before Christmas.

Cutting a live Christmas Tree!

Stacy and Brad took kids to cut their own tree this year. It looks beautiful in their home. Merry Christmas 2010

We Will Miss Our Minnie!!

 

Minnie was a rescued Boston Terrior that belonged to Steve and Kristina. She had the most loving personality and loved to climb into the chair whenever Steve sat down. She had many health problems and passed away Friday, November 12, 2010. Her last years were full of love and we will miss her terribly. She often wore her blue sweater that was knit especially for Minnie to keep her warm. She wore her sweater for two seasons and seemed to love it. Goodbye dear Minnie! We will miss you!

Kids Day in Morgantown!

 
 
 Really hot but so many things to do and have fun. From the jumping house to the arts and crafts with plenty of free cold water for everyone everyone of all ages had fun on the downtown streets of Morgantown, WV. The kids loved their "green" hair and met up with a lot of their friends. The only thing they didn't get to was the water flowing from the fire truck. They opted for the wading pools instead. See my facebook page for more pics of this event!
