O Christmas Tree

 The Tree is decorated.

A snow flake I learned to make the other day at school.

I love going through all the ornaments and remembering where they came from.  It was fun going down memory lane with the kids.  Unfortunately not all my Christmas decor made it through year of storage.

Thanksgiving was a blast.  We did the Terry Turkey Trot. (A 5K)  Dan and Eddie Ray came in 14th and 15th place out of 30.  Not bad.  I forgot my camera so no pics.  Sorry.  It was wonderful to see my sister Dianne and her girls again.

OOh scary

 Quite the Masterpiece.

So Scary!

Ray Man's 1st game and our new jeep

 Ray man plays offense and defense.  He's very fast.  He is known to get alot of flags, and if he has the ball he gets it down the field.  He's had one touchdown this season.  We are so proud.

 1998 Grand Cherokee.  Lil Dan wants this one too.  He's more likely to get the cavalier.

Homecoming 2011

So mad my camera went blurry.  Dan and his date looked awesome.  They enjoyed dinner at Carlos O'Kelly's.  Then the dance 7-11pm.

Eddie Ray's Birthday.

We did the Godfather's thing.  Ray man picked thin crust pepperoni pizza. He enjoyed all the bey blades and his new tackle box with all the bells and whistles.  Uncle Matt made him a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.  My one regret for the evening I forgot the camera.  But he had a blast and that makes me happy.

1st Day of School and Rick's Birthday.

He looks so great in his unifrm.  He'll do great in 4th grade.

What a fabulous day filled with lots of sunshine.  I got burnt. And just being a family.  Ray man even caught 2 fish!  So it was a relaxing but busy day of activities.  Can't wait to go to go Union Grove next.
