Santa on the Slopes PJ's

All the grandkids in my family get matching pajamas every Christmas and we take cute pictures of them together on Christmas Eve. My kiddos had great fun trying their new jammies on!





Wii

We had a little get together with some friends this past weekend and one of the guys decided to rent a Wii. Now, I am NOT a video game person. I have thanked my lucky stars over and over again that my husband is not a video game person (it seems to be a very expensive and time consuming hobby). However, I have to say that I had a ton of fun playing the Wii. I got last just about every race in Mario Kart (except for one fluke 1st place on the mall course). I particularly enjoyed the Boxing though, I hope you enjoy the video of me making a total fool of myself. I laughed so hard my stomach hurt...and the next day my arms did too!

Big Cup of Tea

For some reason, this struck me as very, very funny. Apparently, we need to work on our concept of portion sizes!

4th Picture in my 4th Folder


I was tagged by a friend to post the 4th picture of my 4th folder and tell about it. So, here is a picture of Natalie, my baby girl, on October 14, 2006. She was almost 7 months old and we were visiting my parents back home in Sherwood.
