MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

Wanted to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Happy Holidays!! Enjoy every moment!! Take lots of pictures. I also wanted to share a few pics with you. The first one is Abigail my 3yo granddaughter, I bought her this dress at the after Halloween sale for $9 bucks at Target. Snow princess, well it fit perfect and she loves it!! I was able to get some pics of her in it before the boys woke up the other day, I just love the pics I took of her in the dress. Then that afternoon we decorated the gingerbread houses, whew!! It was a BLAST they all decorated the first one, well after I had put the icing on the second one, Cooper says he didn't any help..lol!! He would put one candy piece on then lick his finger..it was hysterical. He and Abigail managed to eat some of it too. They had so much fun. Wanted to share a few of the pics!! Merry Christmas!! Hugs, Dawn

Winner of the I-Top

Hello and Good Afternoon, so sorry it took me forever to post this. My daughter Crystal flew in yesterday and well the airline lost her bags. Yeah it is 3pm the next day and still no bags. We waited at the airport for over 5 hours with empty promises. My other girls Alexis and Amanda gave her a Welcome Home party and we were late for it!!! I have my Christmas tree up but that is it!!! No shopping yet. It is just so hard for me, hubby works all the time and getting out when you live in the middle of nowhere is HARD!!!! Then I came down with a little cold from Dusty and I have been lazy today...which is like never me!! It is so nice having Crystal home, the boys are just all over her. I also had my granddaughter for the past two weeks. We also have had two extra guest at the house since last Thursday. Busy Busy times!!! The pic is of Cooper with Santa at the mall. On Friday Dec. 11, 2009 I took Cooper, Dusty, and Abigail to the mall to see Santa, a run in and out sorta deal because I had to be back for the other children getting off the bus, we live over an hour from the closest mall. The only one that would even get near him was Cooper. He walked up to him and said "What are you?" OMG I cracked up. Well enough said....on to the fun stuff..........
