House Update

Our house is getting close to being done. Mike is laying tile and his parents are painting. We get cabinets on the 20th of January and should be able to move in shortly after.


Just to give you an idea of how small the town is that we will be living in, I took a picture of our post office so you get the idea.

Christmas

 

Tenley loved Christmas. On Christmas Eve we went to my Grandma JoBerta's house like we do every year. We ate and played games. It was lots of fun. Then we got our Christmas p.j.'s. Tenley had fun opening presents Christmas morning. She opened 3 and then said "I'm done" and she made me do the rest as she watched. We then went to my parents and did the present thing, had breakfast and then went to Mike's grandma's for presents and lunch. Then back to my parents to shoot skeet cause Gabi got a shotgun from Santa. It was a long and fun day. Tenley was exhausted by the time it was done.

I couldn't even get her coat off of her she was that out of it.

Tenley and Santa

Santa and his reindeer came to the learning center. Tenley did not like him. She wanted nothing to do with him. But she was happy with the book and the candycane he gave her. But she loved the reindeer.

Cutting and Decorating the Tree

Tenley had so much fun cutting down the tree. It was kind of a hike, but worth it. She loved decorating it. Luckily we have shatterproof ornaments because she kept throwing them like they were balls.

Happy 50th Birthday Mom

I threw my mom a 50th Birthday Party. It was so fun. I told everyone to dress up in their best impersonation of Shari (my mom). My mom wears an apron everywhere she goes because she's a lunch lady. I dressed as my mom on Sunday. She has this blue levi jumper she wears all the time. We call it "the dress". She also wears a viser all the time in the summer and these ugly shoes from Hawaii. Gabi dressed up as my mom in the 80's when she taught aerobics. We had a great time playing games and visiting. Happy Birthday mom! We love you!

Beauty and the Beast

The musical Beauty and the Beast was a huge success! I'm so sad that it's over. I had so much fun choreographing the numbers Gaston and the Mob Song. The kids did a great job!

Happy Halloween

We dressed Tenley up as Minnie Mouse this year. She loved her costume. She loves Minnie Mouse. My mom made her costume. She already had one my size, so I dressed up too. I couldn't get Mike to dress up as Mickey, but we had fun.
