Joel in his tuxedo for Kristin's wedding. We are so excited!

Pretty table

Here is the table setting for Christmas. My table is normally covered with crafts, mail and random stuff...so this is nice!

The plates are Radko from Target. Aunt Karen and Uncle Keith gave them to us for Christmas about 5 years ago.


These plates are Mom's (were in the Converse house). I didn't have enough of the Radko so I borrowed these, but I really like them with the red placemats.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I made cookie dough this morning. Charlie and I rolled it out and and baked the cookies. Barry, Mom, Charlie, Joel and I decorated them tonight. It was toooo funny!

Warning - if you are easily offended or squimish, you might skip this post and check out something else...there are some crude cookies.

Christmas Party!!!

Today was Joel's Christmas Party at school. I went and had such a great time!


Sitting so nicely in his chair


Dancing - with his antlers on. He kept saying he was a Reindeer the whole morning.


A close up


With his present from his teacher - a bag with his name with a motorcycle in it.

We had a great time! I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Christmas Pictures @ Biedenharn museum

I took Joel's pictures at Biedenharn museum. Lillie and Cassandra came along too. I got some great shots of both of the kids (it doesn't hurt that they are both adorable)! The gardens are decorated for Christmas and are soooo beautiful!

Joel and the Christmas Tree

Here is a picture of Joel from this morning before school. After he had breakfast he stood with the Christmas tree. He was so excited. He asks to open presents every day. He loves the tree! The real tree is so wonderful. It smells good, its nice and beautiful. The top was sort of flattened by the ceiling being lower in the bay window, but otherwise everything is perfect!

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I am baking the first cookies of the season......Monster cookies, from Food network...You know if Paula Deen made it, it will be good!

The tree is up. This year we got a REAL TREE! I am so happy. So there is a great tree smell and cookies baking in the oven. The house smells wonderful!

Anyway, I need to check on the cookies. I'll have to add a picture later.

Amy :)
