Christmas Parties and Programs Galore


Bear Hollow helped us kick off our Christmas celebrations with a party and a program.  Sarah and I  had the chance to help with the Christmas pajama party.  Look at these adorabale cousins!



My favorite part of the party was watching them practice for their upcoming program.  Sam took this dress rehersal very seriously.




The things this kid will do for a gummy bear blows my mind.


This face melts my heart.


Experiencing the chaos of Bear Hollow parties with my sis is a dream come true.


We had time for a brief rest and then it was off to the mall for the Christmas program.


Lined up and ready to rock.


These little whipper snappers didn't miss a word or an action.  I have to admit I got a little teary eyed watching my baby up there.  I can't even imagine next year.  I'm going to be a mess.


Santa was very impressed with the program and gave each child a present.




Sam loved having grandma and grandpa cheering him on. 


Randy sadly had to work but Sam's big brothers were there to support.


 This picture needs to go on a Christmas poster somewhere.

Sam wasn't the only one participating in a Christmas program.


Man do I love a good Christmas program.  Makes me so nostalgic.  Max on the other hand isn't really a fan.


I can't get over how grown up Hank and his friends look.


Only one more Christmas program for Hank-man.  Unbelievable.


After a sugar filled Christamas party for Max's class, I believe we're all ready for a long Christmas Break!

Griffers


Griffers just had a much needed trip to the groomers.  I can't get enough of his fresh cut and his darling holiday bandana.  Our little sweetie continues to fill our home with so much joy and love.  What did we ever do without him?




Griffy got neutered this month.  The kids were so concerned about him.


You could tell he was really hurting.  It broke our hearts hearing him wimper.


He just wanted his mama that night.



He is the most cuddly, loving puppy on the planet.


And he is a fabulous babysitter.





We love our little Griffers!

Family Pictures 2015

We just got our family pictures back and they are to die for!  The talented Brit Anderson did a phenomenal job capturing our family.  We tried a studio shoot for a change and I love the results. 





























I had her take a few shots of Hank amd Max for JDRF purposes.



Our fundraising just got a whole lot easier with these darling pictures.


I can't believe how grown up my boys are getting!  They hate family picture day but I treasure these pictures every year.  My pride and joy.
