December Happenings

Boy, am I behind!! I've decided that blogging needs to take the back burner, but I will still do monthly highlights. I love looking back and remembering things I would have forgotten had I not updated on here. Plus I think the grandparents would be sad if they didn't have a way to keep up with the kids. So, here it is...DECEMBER 2012. The world didn't end :) 

My cute little Irish Dancer.  She really is good at this dance and I LOVE watching her!  Can't wait for Lindsey to join the fun



Had another Birthday...can't believe I'm 35...What the heck?! My in laws were in town visiting and they really took care of me!  I had just had surgery so Peggy cleaned my floors, stove, stove top, made me a cake and took us out to dinner!  AWESOME!!
Both the girls had their Christmas Dance Recital.  This will be the last one :(  As much as the girls love dancing, I made the decision to stop this activity.  As I watched the older girls dance, I didn't feel comfortable with the music, dance moves or how dramatic and emotional the dances can get.  Ugh!  Talk about uncomfortable.  Life is dramatic enough, let's keep it light and fun :)  Irish is the way for us!
Check out Skinny Minny!  Darn costume is hanging on her :)




 Gifts for my cute neighbors

Cookie Party~Made Hot Chocolate on a Stick
Love my Christmas Angles



We left Santa Hot Chocolate Cup Cakes and a Diet Soda this year :)



Still weirds me out how old Miss Elle is getting!  It was strange shopping for a Pre Teen this year!  Where does the time go?
If you only knew the story behind this.....Whitney has a Hello Kitty doll that she HAS to sleep with.  The problem is, she loses it all the time and when bed time rolls around, its total drama because we can never find the dang thing.  PROBLEM SOLVED!  We won't be losing this Hello Kitty now will we?
Looks like my neighbor got a new car for Christmas!
Thanks Gary!
My baby Brother is Hilarious!  He was deployed and sent us the worlds LARGEST gummy bear!  So funny

My sweet little Lindsey turned 3 this month.  What a beautiful little lady she is turning into.  She is about the funniest kid you'll meet.  Some of her favorite vocabulary words are "NASTY" and "STUPID"...we're working on that one!  She loves to play "Andra and Stephanie" (that's me and my sister!  Ha Ha) She told me she can't wait to be a mom so she can talk on the phone and drink diet coke!! Ha Ha Ha Ha

The Stoker family had a great 2012.  We worked hard and played hard!  Had a perfect IVF fail, but other than that, we had a great year.  We have lots of fun changes coming to our family in 2013.  No more working on Saturdays for Matt.  That means CRAZY STOKER ADVENTURES, HERE WE COME!!!
