Smooch-

I have found it difficult at times to give all 3 of my children equal time in the spotlight when blogging. However, sometimes one just gets the spotlight because they deserve it and the other two just sit back and enjoy it. I just couldn't resist this picture of Parker. He is starting to follow after his sisters and their silly faces.

Family Christmas Party

Every year Jeff's side of the family has a Christmas Party. It is a lot of fun and there's lots of people. We eat, have a visit from Santa...with gifts for the children, and dance. I am pretty sure that it was the REAL Santa. He was great!!! The dance party is by far the best part of the night. We had the party in a church gym so there was plenty of room to dance. The DJ did a great job and the kids had a blast. They danced for over 2 1/2 hours. A big thanks goes out to Melanie and Frank Henrich and Sara and Ryan Olson for teaching my girls all their snazzy dance moves :-)!!! They were the hit of the party. We miss you guys-

Maddie's New Do-

In an attempt to make my life, and Maddie's life, a bit easier, we decided to cut her hair. She had a hard time washing it herself but now it is a piece of cake.....well, that is when she decides she can do it herself. Now if I could only teach her how to dry it with a hairdryer while using a round brush!!!
