Happy New Year

My wish for each of you is that you have a wonderful New Year, filled with hope and promise,honesty and truth, ambitions, dreams, goals, and Christ!

My Birthday



I had a great dinner at Olive Garden with my room mate and Mariah, then lunch with Mom and my girls. Tonight will be dinner with my other girls...from the hiking group. I have found that I am so easy to please, food and friends are all anyone can really ask for. Well, that and a little respect and honesty!

Christmas 2009



Christmas was nice this year. Peaceful and calm. Having 2 weeks off certainly didn't hurt anything. Christ is the perfect gift, everything else is just icing on the cake. I once was lost, but now am found (got a GPS)

The girls are in high fashion with their new snuggies!



Christmas at my cousins was a hoot. This is a picture of one of the little ones at the BEGINNING of the evening....it got better from there! :)

Best Snow of 2009





Wow, we got about 14 inches of snow. We went to Elmwood Park and played in an "Epic Snow Ball battle". Mariah built a beautiful snow-wo-man at Mom and Dads (but picture is on my phone). Holly struggled to get around, but managed to hop through the snow to get around.

4th Grade goes to Hotel Roanoke



Mariah's class had a big adventure to the Hotel Roanoke this year. They dined in the fancy room and got to view many different Christmas trees. They also saw a movie at the science museum. They learned manners before the trip and got all dressed up!

Ahna


Ahna worked hard to help with Nanny and Papa's birthday this year.

Off to 4th Grade


Mariah is not as excited about school this year. She was really hoping to move to Charlotte, but no luck. She has adjusted just fine.
