All About Christmas and Johns Birthday

Christmas of 2011 was wonderful!  We had several celebrations and parties as well as baking day!   As I didn't have time to make an individual post of each one, I'm just going to put up all the pictures together.  We had an early Christmas with my Mom, we had one with Tom and Becky, and of course, we had Christmas here. John's Birthday was the 22nd, baking day was also great....we had so much fun!!   Here are the pics of our holidays.....I hope you enjoy them!!

Tom and Becky live close to a lot of Amish.  I always like seeing the farms and all the signs from the Amish community, like the one below.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas !!

Happy 11th Birthday!

In our house, December means Christmas, winter, and also birthdays!  Derek and Emily shared their 11th Birthday on December 2, 2011.

     I'm very proud of my twins.....they are both very unique individuals.     Recently, Emily has joined the 5th grade girls basketball team!   She's doing very well and is so fast!    Here are a few pics of her playing.  They won their first 2 games!

        We enjoyed watching her....

     Mom surprised me the other day with my early Christmas present...I have always wanted a lap dog....I have mocha my chocolate lab, and she's is a wonderful dog, the best dog over.  But she's a little too big to be sitting with me!  haha   Anyway, I seen a pictures of some puppies that I thought were just too adorable and Mom decided she wanted me to have one for Christmas!  So here is my little Chihuahua/dachshund mix.  His name is Pickles......

                                             He is a good boy!  
Sharayah started back to work this month after being off for maternity leave.  So I get to spend time a few days a week with Blaize and Lyndie......

               They are so adorable  and behave so well!!


Since this is the Christmas season, we have a lot of things going on.  Last Sunday, Ieshia had her Christmas Program at school....

                               They  did a great job this year!!
