Best Friends Forever

Carolyn and I have been friends since Freshman year of High School. She brought her two girls down from San Ramon to visit us. We had a great time catching up, reading old letters from 20 years ago, and talking about things to come. Good Friends are the best.

Friends Kids Becoming Friends

It was great to see Carolyn's girls playing with my bunch. Spencer, Lexi, Sierra, Katie, and Stella all played well together until Stella did'nt get her way. As you can see, her smile says it all.

Santa Already?

Sunday we took the kids to the mall for lunch and some shopping, little did we know that it was Christmas already. I'm sorry, did I miss Thanksgiving? I'm hosting it and that's a real shame if I did. John and I just shook our heads when we saw Santa was already at the mall. Stella of course wanted to talk, sit, and take her picture with him ( she would'nt go near him last year). So, even though she was in her pink pants, with tinkerbell shirt and had her hair pulled back, we caved to buying the picture. Who knows, when it's actually Christmas time she may not want anything to do with him again. Check off Santa picture.

Singing Cowgirl

For the past week Stella can be found at some point during the day sitting on one of the many horses strummin her purple guitar and singing her made up songs. It's nice when simple things make her happy.

Thanks to Amy's creative side we had this box car for about 2 weeks before it came apart. Spencer and Stella loved watching tv in it. They are to cute together.

Trick or Treat!

Here they are before the mad dash for candy. Stella lasted longer than I thought. She was so proud of how much candy she got. The kids were bouncing off the walls til late Friday night. Saturday morning I found out why. The bathroom trash can was full of candy wrappers!

Attack of the Chocolate Monster!

Stella got ahold of a full size Hershey bar and ate it up. Apparently her hands were a bit warm and quite a bit melted onto her hands. She could care less and wanted another one.
