Christmas Cookies

The kids had a fun time decorating Christmas cookies for Santa the day before Christmas.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town...

Every year santa makes his stop to hand out candy canes to the children in our neighborhood. Needless to say, all the kids get a big kick out of it. (Ethan was outside waiting, in the cold, for well over an hour...) We will definetly miss this next year...

Ethan's Christmas Program

Here is Ethan's Rocky Bayou Christian School Christams Program. Ethan HATES to sing so we were very surprised to see him actually singing!

Here he is with his buddies before the performance...

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas!

The closest we will get to snow is our Frosty the Snowman...
Riley looking forward to opening up her presents!!

Riley asked Santa for:
a Dirty Kitty bed ...(aka groovey girl's bed)
Dirty kitty clothes

Ethan asked for a Webkin dog


After our night of photos and shopping at the mall all Mommy wanted was some Zoloft and a hot bubble bath!!! (hahahah) Needless to say, a very stressful evening!!!!!!

On our cruise we saw the real Davy Jones Pirate Ship...

Disney Cruise!!!

We decided last minute to go on a Disney Cruise to the Bahamas. It was the best trip we have ever taken as a family. The kids loved going in the kids clubs and me and Shawn loved having free time. The pools were great. I can not wait to go again in 2008. I only wish we had done this sooner.
