Breaking the wishbone

 I love Terefech's face...so devastated.

Christmas Tree

 It was really yucky day when we got the tree.  We were pretty much running through the lot and picked the first one we could all agree on.  It made us all laugh.
 Lots of fun decorating!





Cookies for Kids' Cancer bake sale

 Even Santa supports the fight against pediatric cancer.

Visiting Santa and throwing a tooth

 We have been seeing the same Santa for years, love him.
 Throwing another tooth on the roof for the moon.

Bookmarks

One of our homemade gifts was bookmarks with the kids as the stars...here are some of their fun pictures....







Flashback

Declan with our neighbor Mary years ago...so sweet and love that they are still buddies.

Holiday recitals

 Both of our kids have become lovers of playing at recitals.  Declan played "Hey Santa Claus" and Terefech played "Good King Wenceslas" and "Do You Hear What I Hear?"

Pottery fun

We love making gifts and this Christmas we are trying to make them for lots of people.  Pottery is one of our favorites.  The kids like being creative and knowing people use their creations!




A drawing and some fun...








The Palace Cinema

 Declan was thrilled to have finished one of his first really big Lego sets, the Palace Cinema.  

Roller Skating

Terefech went to a birthday party at the local roller rink.  As usual, she was determined to master this skill.  And she did after about 2 hours of hard work.  She was exhausted but thrilled to have learned something new.


Charlotte 49ers basketball game

The kids and Rich gave Rich's dad tickets to a 49ers basketball game for his birthday.  They had a great time!




School pictures

 Love these kids!

Air show

Declan and Rich went to an airshow in Monroe.  Big treat and lots of fun.  Special treat to see a plane flown during the Berlin Airlift.  My dad has memories of his mother taking him to see these planes take off and land while they lived in Heidelberg, Germany.
