Emma rec'd games, board games, not video. Melissa got a reflective vest so, she can be seen during her nightly walks. Paige rec'd a dollhouse, which she wasn't excited about as much as she was the bike that Sophia received. We had our Traditional Christmas Brunch, which was fun to have all my children and their families together..
It was really nice to have Karen and Greg here for Xmas, of course we realize that next year they will stay up North. Anyway you cant tell by that big smile that Gregory was having a great time.
These girls were so calm and patience while opening gifts. Can you believe they are sitting there watching the other open a package when there is a pile up to the ceiling behind them waiting to be opened?
The Greatest gift of all
.......HSM Trio of dolls. I believe between Melissa and Mike they have the entire morning recorded.
The
Socceer Star is getting a little chilly, she had to slip on a warm-up jacket.This was the first day that we had to pull out our sweatshirts, for the cold front that moved in.

She is just trying to think of her song.
This is quite a feast!
These two were the cutest.....one was a lil' skunk, his Mom even painted a white stripe down his hair. The other was the little ballerina in red Tutu, here she is playing musical chairs.

Melissa made this beautiful Angel Food cake. dad always made me a AF cake when I lived in VH. Now that I am on WW it is the recommended cake.
Dad would put sprinkles in the batter so that it looked like confetti, even before they developed the boxed version of Confetti Cake.
Now Melissa is starting her own tradition of sprinkles on top.
Anyway it was beautiful and I didn't gain any weight that week.

KiKi is fascinated with the display the neighbors have just put up. She has been sitting at the window for hours. At least she is not running thru the house, tearing up her toys, or in the backyard digging up plants!
This is our second annual Pumpkin patch visit. When the girls heard that Dick was coming they wanted to go to the Pumpkin patch like they did last year. We stopped at the Methodist Churchon Rt1 which had a good selection. Each girl chose the pumpkin that she liked best. Sophie chose 2 little ones that she could put under each arm.
Dick came down for my Birthday. We met up with the girls and their Aunt Sara who was visiting .
