New Hairdryer

Alex used her new, hot pink hairdryer tonight. Wow does she look like a star!

Happy New Year!

We rang in the New Year with lots of dazzle and noise! Virginia came down and helped. Alex and Ben even beat Grandpa. who was asleep on the couch. What a wild group!

The World's BEST Nutcracker

Alex and Ben put on the World's finest Nutcracker Ballet today. They put on the music and then they whirled and twirled and spun and danced. It was phenomenal! The hat Alex wore was definitely a well added touch! What talented and gifted children I have!

Gingerbread house

OK - It really should be called a gingerbread slum! It was the funniest thing I have ever witnessed! I had to shower halfway through because I apparently made the icing to runny and had it in my hair - all over. Nothing would stick together - it just kept sliding off. Alex and Ben did not seem to care - just more icing and candies for them to eat. The only place the candies would stick was on the their noses! Frosting is a food group, right? I did not even realize Ben was licking the table until I saw the pictures! I guess this is one of my things that seemed like a good idea at the time!

Soup Plantation

I love it when my mom comes to visit. I get to eat at Soup Plantation. Alex and Ben love to go their too. their favorite is the ice cream! YUMMY!

Dr. Evil

Dan showed Ben and Alex dry ice today and they loved watching when he poured water on it.

I am not too sure he planned on what shirt to wear, but it fits!

Harrah's!

Nothing says family like a weekend at a casino! We loaded up everyone and went out to Harrah's for a few days of loosing money. It was a lot of fun. I do not think my dad was ready for Alex's growth spurt that allowed her to eat her scrambled eggs and pancakes, and still help Grandpa finish his breakfast too! They love the pool and were fish most of the day.
