My Girls

If only we had more time. We had a great time out at Honeymoon Island. We saw some cool fish that squirted ink out. They were having a ball playing in the water and walking up and down the wall. Man is it work to get all four looking and smiling at the same time!

What an awesome Daddy and Husband!

Greg is such a fun person. We love going to Busch Gardens and riding rides with him! We all have our favorite rides. The girls love Cheetah Chase and we love the roller coasters, especially, Sheekra. Greg loves to play with the kids and he takes the oldest girls to school every morning. He is an excellent provider but he leaves work stress at work. He is such a hard worker and does what ever it takes to get the job done. He has unbelievable patients. If only I could bottle it up! He is a great cook and grills a steak better then any I have ever had at a restaurant. He is the smartest person I know, not just anyone can be an actuary and still have common business sense!I think this is how he landed his recent promotion to a VP! He is even a yummy snack for blue eyed monsters!

LOTS OF VISITORS!

We have had lots of company over the holidays. Greg's sister and family and parents came before Christmas for 5 days. We went to MOSI and Busch Gardens with them. My niece and my parents came in just after Christmas. We also had a visit from Greg's cousin and his wife and 3 kiddos. All the kids had a great time seeing each other and played non-stop!

Parties, dance and gymnastics...

What more could a girl ask for? They have been having so much fun lately and keeping me hopping! G and E had a winter recital this week-end. They just light up and preform so well up on that stage. They say they don't get nervous at all. That they just get excited. Ella also just finished another round of gymnastics with her BFF. Friday night Waterchase had the Holiday party. The girls got to see Santa, decorate cookies, make a craft and watch a movie. It was great to see a lot of our neighbors. D had her holiday party today. Monica brought all sorts of fun crafts for them to do. They had lots of fun playing in all the glitter! They cut out sandwiches with cookie cutters. 

SANTA FEST PARADE

Forget all about marching these girls are grooving all the way through the parade. They had so much fun and were real troopers with all of the walking they did. We had fun catching beads from the side lines! They also did a performance the night before at the closing ceremonies at kid city. Avery came to the parade with Abbie and Christie and couldn't make it across the parade path to get to us! Thanks Christie for watching Av! Avery is finally getting better after being sick with a week's worth of 103-105 degree fever. She has been up all night coughing for 4 nights! Finally, after what seems like a million breathing treatments,  she is sleeping peacefully!

MORE THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR

Beautiful sunsets and silly friends...

GOBBLE GOBBLE!!!

We are all ready for some yummy turkey! We are thankful for so many things. The kids and I compiled a list of all sorts of things! We are thankful for our health, house, each other, our jobs, our beds, cars, schools, teachers, friends, wii, hamsters, turkey heads, chloe, neighbors, babies, being outside, bikes, movies, books, food, candy, computer, birthdays, clothes, the love in our family, energy, non-running noses, thoughtful people, allergy medicine, baking, painting, cameras, pee pee on the potty, backpacks, lunch boxes, refrigerator, and a million other things! It is funny though how what they were thankful for was mainly the basics. Things that we do together as a family more so than things. I am blessed to have such a wonderful, happy and healthy family. I am counting my blessings this Thanksgiving more than ever before!
