Eli's hair is wild. Today he tried to tame it, but brushed it out good first.

Naomi grabbed the camera to document the hilarity of it all.

He may not ever be a model, but may very well be an actor.

He is quite the HAM!

Or maybe a ROCKSTAR!

Let me explain. Back on November 29th I shared a funny picture of an SNL board game we saw in Toys-R-Us that was priced (incorrectly) at over $99. Well I went on to send that info and picture to the Toys-R-Us Company and got an email from the vice president of sales from Discovery Bay Toys thanking me for letting them know about the mistake. He also very generously offered to send my family a few games to say thanks.

Well, today my family says thanks back. Don really was generous and we can't wait to dig in and have play these fantastic, fun games on a great family night. You might even want to head out soon and get some games for your family this Christmas too and play away! (and if you do, please take an extra look at the games from Discovery Bay Games since we know they are good folks!!)

Stinks to be sick. I was home most of the afternoon sleeping and feeling horrible.

But when I woke to find this note from Naomi, I have to admit it did help me feel better. :)

And Eli reads diary's from kids who are wimpy.

At Nanna & Pop's house helping out. Tina cooking.

Naomi helped Nanna.

And then she did some whittling with the pocket knife Pop gave her. :)

Naomi's new fascination!

She discovered the water meter in the front yard, once she realized that she could watch it move as we consumed water, she could not stop checking it. Most of the day after every flush, Eli's shower, whatever. She is now obsessed, but also may have a career in meter reading ahead of her!

The kids also did some sidewalk art. Once again Naomi chose to draw her and Mom. Not dad. Just Mom. (but I am ok.... )

Not sure what Eli drew. He was just "being creative!"

Dinner at Buca di Beppo is always a good time!

Eli cracks up whenever he sees anything peeing!

And Naomi appreciates classic art.

Best part of tree decorating is strolling down memory lane.

and now, by the light of the of the tree, I am diving into some music! I have a preview copy of the upcoming Brandon Heath cd, LEAVING EDEN. One of my very favorite artists, so I can not wait to check it out!

My kids are cool,

but not too cool to visit Santa's Christmas Tree Farm to hang with the big man, play in the hay barn, ride ponies, get lost in a Christmas maze and pick & cut a Christmas tree.
