Ornaments

A few pictures of our 2014 Christmas tree ~ decorated 99% with different Santa ornaments!

All Aglow

Snowflake must have known the kids liked all the lights at Shadrack's over the weekend...and he wanted them to experience lights at home.  He wrapped the banister in colored lights!!

Pretty as a Picture

Snowflake centered himself between two cute kids!

Moving Up

It was evaluation day for the Basic Skills classes.  Reagan passed her test and will now move up to the Basic 4 class.

Buried Alive

Snowflake was buried up to his neck in fuse beads!  The kids had a hard time finding him this morning!

Night Lights

As promised by Snowflake, we took our annual Christmas trip.  Tonight we went to Shadrack's Christmas Wonderland.

all the lights are synchronized to music

Waffle House Part 2

In honor of 12.13.14 (not really, we didn't have a reason), Reagan was treated to Waffle House for the very first time!  Cooper was super excited for her to experience it!!  And yes, this was the second day in a row that Cooper and I had breakfast at the very same Waffle House!

 She loved the waffles!

She said she'd love to come back again!

Night of Lights

This morning, Snowflake left the kids a note that they would be going on a little adventure tonight!  Tonight was our annual "Snowflake Surprise Trip".

Don't forget to view pictures from our 2012 and 2013 trips here!

Breakfast Date

Cooper and I had our monthly breakfast outing this morning.  He chose the Waffle House again!

he loves to do "rabbit ears"!

Christmas Pajamas

Snowflake brought the kids their Christmas pajamas a little earlier this year.  That way, they'll have longer to enjoy them!

All About That Bass - Christmas Remix

A new Christmas classic from our church!  They played this on Sunday, but it has just now been loaded to YouTube.

Girl Scout Christmas

Today, Reagan's Girl Scout Troop had their Christmas party.  The girls decided to do a service project and collect food for the Ronald McDonald House.  they also did a silly sock exchange with each other.

Dentist Support

Reagan and Cooper had dental appointments today...and Snowflake was very supportive!

Excellent report from the dentist - no cavities for either.  They were super excited that Cooper had stopped sucking his thumb...they made a HUGE deal of it!

Snowflake at the Spa

Snowflake must have heard me talking about how wonderful my trip to the spa was over the weekend...he decided to indulge in a relaxing bath himself!

18 Years and Counting!

Today, Greg & I celebrate our 18th anniversary!!  The celebration actually occurred yesterday when he surprised me with a trip to the spa for a couple's massage...it was wonderful!

I love you with all my heart!

Still Celebrating

Cooper received a free hamburger coupon from Red Robin for his birthday ~ so we had another birthday celebration there today!
