December 2008
A quick photo of the family at Billy's work Christmas party. What a nice time.
We haven't gone in a couple years - due to several health reasons (mine).
It was a nice time, but I think the kids are getting just too big and bored with the routine. Tori had her bag & knitted while Madi played with her gameboy.
I think they will thank me next time in leaving them home.
Sigh....
They are growing up too fast.
Not the best family photo, but the only one I have that is recent. Happy Holidays to all & may the next year be one of the best. Gotta look on the bright side.
(PS. Minus 70+ pounds at this picture.)

Front gate was spooned - hilarious!
Eeek! I have been "spooned"!
I have come to realize that having a teenager in the house means there will be pranks. My girls are not allowed to go do them, but that doesn't stop the other kids. Some of the stories I have heard...OH MY! For starters, a local boy kept egging the house. Drove me nuts. It would happen in the summer & the last time he almost got caught. Billy was out back with the telescope late one night & BAM! An egg flew over the fence and hit the bedroom window. Scared me silly & then the second one flew lower - almost nailed Billy. LOL He yelled, "Hey" and ran to the back fence. The kid took off running & hasn't been back since.
Then came the TPing. It happenned a few weeks ago - I believe they were interupted because they left a roll undone in the bushes. Wasn't too bad - got it cleaned up before fog came in & got it all wet.
Then last week... Eeek, we were "spooned". It was one of the funniest things I have seen.
Billy & I got back to the house about 9:30pm & there were plastic spoons sticking out of the fence at the front of the house. AND there were spoons everywhere in the plants out front. Like the spoons were planted & growing. Oh my goodness - it was hilarious!
