Wishing you lots of happy this Christmas!

Doesn't the birth of Jesus make you happy?  It makes me happy, as do these kids. 

It won't be long until this face turns 5 years old...

Piano, Snow and the Symphony...

Sierra had her first piano recital and she played Jingle Bells with only a small amount of nerves.  It felt like a strange dream from my past when I had my own piano recitals.  I hope Sierra has a lot more than I did.  She plays better than me already.

She also had a date with Dad to the symphony and got to be the "flower girl," going on stage to give the bouquets to the guest pianist and trumpet player.  When she and Eric got home, very late on a school night, she was lucky enough to make the first snowball from the first snowfall of the year. 

This little girl is growing up.

Maybe....

Santa is not coming this year.  He definitely would not have come on Sunday.

This wasn't funny Sunday but these pictures make me laugh every time I look at them.



If you are an Oregonian..

You should dress like one.  Mason 's little buddy Maria was over and what do you know? They were both wearing their tie dye shirts.  They are having a dance party to some rockin' Christmas tunes.  It appears that they can both dance not only with their arms and feet but their tongues as well. 

Be our guest...

My new friend Martha asked me to do a post on her Interior Design Blog.  If she lived closer I am pretty sure we would have a lot of fun carrying out ideas that are in our heads.  I have a lot of ideas swimming around up there.

I am DIY Day 7, Whimsical Sweater Stockings.  Check out her business, my post and other fun holiday/decorating ideas here. 

And why the vanity?  I was having a good hair day when this picture was taken. Having bangs is not always easy, so here's to a good hair day.
