This past week Julia participated in the winter concert at her school. Here are my favorite pictures.
Julia is standing on the left side of the stage, in the second row, she is the fourth person in the row.
I do not remember the name of the song but she was waving a red scarf in this one.
This is Jayne enjoying a very large cup of warm chocolate after meeting and greeting Santa will post more on that tomorrow along with her concert photos.
This is the big window in the living room. I decided to add the lights last night. it looks so pretty.
here is our upstairs tree. Jayne and I decorated it while the two big kids were doing homework. she is an expert at putting lights up. We have a new tree stand this year it is awesome. it is cast iron all one piece. I still have a littlt christmas village to put up. will post again friday.
Yeah my cards are going in the mail on friday or saturday. What a relief that will be.
CREATIONS BY ME "Julia"
Today we actually had 2 inches of snow. It was also the day we went to get the real tree.
This is the family room tree, it is artificial. Jayne is so excited this year. She has been involved in every step of the way.
this is the mantle so far. only one stocking is hanging so far.
Here we are at the tree farm, it really is a local nursery.
James recently attended a friends 13th birthday. He had a really good time and he picked out the clothes.
This is a picture of Thanksgiving! I love the pattern the butter makes!!
This is may Holiday display for the scrapbook store.
Have a good weekend.
Ali posted awesome button trees on her blog last week. Here is our attempt this weekend at crafting with 500 pins and a lot of buttons.
This is julia working on her ball ornament. She named the yellow creation "banana ball".
Jayne was very serious with her tree. She said at one point " I just can not get it straight." She was very upset by this. I on the other hand was very excited as the pink buttons gently cascade down the tree.
I can not believe that the holidays are just around the corner.
Yes Mom this is SD, he really did do the look with the eye liner and added in the chains.
Just love this one with all the green and then the blacks and red.
Julia really wanted to be a pirate this year. She looked very cute.
Her parade was awesome, the weather was beautiful and the costumes were scary and bright.
Jayne's preschool class paraded in the courtyard this morning and then sang the most Halloween songs that I have every heard. Sooo cute.
She looks so dreamy in this picture. Can not wait to see the older kids parade later today.
