SANTA wrestling?

My son loves to wrestle, jump, slam, you name it. He is 100% BOY!! He also, like any other kid, loves SANTA. Right? Here he is with Santa, all is well. But...if we could see inside his little mind, we would see what was coming next.




I know, Santa usually gives presents, not CHOKE-HOLDS. But this is only the beginning. Here at least they are still sitting friendly (?) on the couch. Wait until you see what is to come...
















Sorry Cari :)







Now, those of you with little girls only are probably APPALLED. But, boys are a different species altogether. You never know what they will do. As a mom, you have two choices. Gasp, scream, and correct the situation...or grab a camera and keep the memory alive for blackmail later on. ;)

Gingerbread houses

My friend Cari decided last year to let the kids create
gingerbread houses at her house. What a fun tradition. The
kids love to use the icing to stick on candies and I'm sure they
ate quite a few, too. Grandy came and helped the kids this
year.






Here is Shane's masterpiece. After he was finished, he enjoyed playing in the backyard with Lauren and the other kids,

Sarah on the other hand, spent ALL of her two hours decorating her house.

PaPa's birthday

Happy 60th Birthday, PAPA! We celebrated my Daddy's birthday at Hoffbrau House. We are so thankful to be living in Ft. Worth again so that we can spend days and evenings with our family.

OK, so last year, right after I created this thing, I got a full time teaching position (2 days before Back to School Night). Once I started, I never stopped running to catch up! It was too much with the kids and Steve traveling for work, so I resigned and will be able to be a mom again this year. I plan to do a little subbing, but to really just enjoy my hubby, kids, and a slower paced life.
