I loved all of the Billy Jack movies when I was a kid. RIP Tom Laughlin.

The third Sunday of Advent, 2013

Mass, Children's Museum, & the nail salon were Maddie's choice of activities today.

Shop or skate Saturday

Jack and Maddie went ice skating, Carrie & Wes let Charlotte hang out at their house with Spencer, while Mimi and Poppy went Christmas shopping this cool, rainy Saturday..

A visit with an old friend.

My friend, Britta, is in the States for her son's graduation from USC on 12/16.

Happy Birthday.

A favorite granddaughter turns 4.

Sharing laughs with Maddie. 

Beating up Jack!

 

We wish you the sweetest of birthdays, Amelia. 

A cold 2nd Sunday of Advent.

After mass.

A Charleston Saturday.

Charleston Place and Daughters of Pauline Bookstore.

Spencer will grab anyone's hair! 

 

Cousin Amelia Grace (18 months)joined in for a few pictures. Amelia Grace's new baby brother should make his entrance into the world in about a week. 

Spencer (in a brief protrayal of Baby Jesus) did not enjoy the hay in the manger! When asked who she was holding, Mother Mary (aka Maddie) said "Jesus' baby brother." Jack thought the star should be front and center so it took some convincing to allow the short shepherd to stand below the star.

First Sunday of Advent

On this first Sunday in Advent

Spencer went to his first Christmas parade.

Some pictures @ Charleston Place,

Kristy and Jack met up with us for Chanakuh in the Square.

A visit with Town Centre Santa.

No crying by Spencer during his first visit with Santa. Santa may have shed a few tears as he needed help getting Spencer's fingers out of his beard by the end of the visit.

Bee City Friday (bah humbug to shopping).



What kind of place did you bring me to Mimi and Poppa?

You had to put your books under your chair?

I have been through the park twice and finally have the courage to feed the animals.

Courage? I can do 8 seconds on the back of this bull standing up!

It's the spiders and snakes I do not like. An alligator is easy peasy.

Thanksgiving with the Littles

Cousins Amelia Grace and Spencer.

Friends Jack and Sophie

Move over Charlotte, Puzzle Princess Maddie is up to 100 piece puzzles.

You remain the Queen of 1000 piece puzzles.

Happy Thanksgiving!
