The Christmas fun has begun around here. We have been so busy around here getting ready for the big day. We had the 1st of many parties last night in Smithfield. Jedd's grandparents invited all of Ken and Tracy's children and their children over for a Gingerbread house party. We started the night off by decorating our house, the girls had fun but hurried through the decorating so they could play with their cousins. Grandma served us dinner, we had 3 kinds of soup, cheese and crackers and and 2 kids of icecream pie for dessert. Then we had a little prompt to program, grandma read the kids a story, watched a movie about the birth of Jesus and last off all, of course presents. All the older great grandchildren received a musical dancing doll. Let's just say they are fun for a little while:). Then we headed for home since the Ella had school. She gets out for Christmas break on Tuesday. The next 3 days are going to be busy. We have dance performances tonight and tomorrow and still have a lot to do before Santa comes to town. Santa still needs to finish his present for the girls. Jedd had built the girls a awesome doll house for their Barbies. I have helped by painting it and still need to add some detail to the inside rooms. Wish Santa luck. I will post a picture of the finished product after it is delivered. MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone.

WOW!

I can't believe that is has been this long since I have posted anything. Don't get me wrong I have had plenty of things that I could have posted, I have just been soooo busy. Since it is almost Christmas I'm not going to post any pictures from Turkey day but we did have a good one. My family came to my house. Ella and Becca have been busy with dance and school. Kurt is growing up so fast he is 7 months old and 23 lbs, a BIG boy. Jedd has been the working a lot, late almost every night and almost every weekend for the last 2 months. He got a promotion at work and is a Boss man and so he has been working like crazy. The paychecks are nice but it would also be nice to have him home more. Well I will try to post some pictures later. Hope all is well with all you other bloggers. Happy Holidays.
