Well I haven't blogged in forever & I totally blame it on the books I've been reading. In October a friend of mine suggested reading this series. I came home & got on the waiting list at the library & forgot about them. On Dec. 30 th I went to the Library with the kids and they said they had a hold for me that had just come in. They gave me the book & I thought I might read it, but it just doesn't sound like something I would like. Well by Jan 1st I had finished the book & could not stop talking about it.

Well I really have been meaning to update my blog with our all of our December & Christmas happenings so here is goes.. In Mid December Hannah had a mini-dance recital.

So on to our Christmas festivities. Christmas at our house was tons of fun. Here is The letter that Parker wrote to Santa. Kind of hard to read but I wanted to keep a copy of it.

The kids did not want to go to bed & kept stalling. They finally were asleep around 11:30pm. We thought for sure they would be up first thing in the morning to open presents, but Travis & I woke up around 8:00am & they were still asleep. By
