Merry Christmas...

I didn't think I was asking too much. We were all gathered last night at my husbands parents house to exchange gifts, and it seemed appropriate. I simply clapped my hands together, and very sweetly announced that if you were apart of the " " family, then gather up front for a family photo. HA HA!!! After ten takes, I didn't have one picture where someone didn't have their eyes closed or mouth open. So, imagine that in the picture below, Greg is smiling in a normal way and Noah has his eyes open. The rest of the pictures looked like this! I.GIVE.UP!!!!! (Merry Christmas to all my friends) :)

Weekend Wrap:

We had a great weekend!  It was quite busy though.  Saturday morning, we were up early so the girls could ride our churches float in the Christmas Parade.  The twins are part of the 'Kidstuf' crew and once a month they help lead the program with singing and dance.  They love it.  Anyway, they were thrilled to ride in the float this year.  After that, we had a quick lunch at church, ran an errand, and then went to the 'Nutcracker' at the school I teach for.  Meredith sang with her school honor choir before the program.  We finished our day by going to dinner with our neighbors.  Fun day, but Mom was tired.  Here are some pics:

Noah and I shivering together....

Here is Noah's response to waiting for the parade to start:
Girls on the float:
Aren't they cute?
Their float won the overall prize for 'Best Float'.  It was such a cute one.  

Meredith singing:

Me and My girls at the Nutcracker!
Girls with one of the dancers that I teach who also is a friend of theirs from school.  Meredith's best friend from school is also in the picture along with one of our neighbor friends!    Sweet Girls!!!
