Pop

I had a very proud mother moment the other day: Parker showed me a book, that he had never read before, and told me "Mom, look these letters are p-o-p that spells pop." I can't believe he is old enough to read.

Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS
we love and miss you

Santa 2010

Parker loves Santa so much I took him out of school so he could have Breakfast with Santa. It was worth it, he loved every second of it. The girls on the other hand are scared to death of him.

McKenzie's 3

McKenzie turned 3 on Monday. To celebrate we threw her a little party. Cinderella was able to make it to her party, ooh wait that is not Cinderella that is Kenzie in her hand sewn costume made by her mom (with a lot of help from Melanie).

She requested a butterfly cake. Anthony did an amazing job at making the wings for the butterflies.

Here is the birthday girl with most of her friends.

The highlights of her birthday were licking the batter off the whisk:

and her trip to Wegmans. We meet her good friends Ciella & Cadence for lunch then she finally got to live her dream of playing at Wegmans Kids while I shopped. I am pretty sure it was the best day of her life.

Parker

Today in Parker's prayer he blessed "Dad when he dies that he will live with Heavenly Father." When I asked him about this he said Anthony is real old and probably going to die in a couple days." He is sure Anthony is older then Grandpa.

Snowing in Buffalo

We have had snow storm warning after warning and haven't seen more than a skiff of snow at our house, until today. Parker was so excited at 7:30 this morning he was already playing in the snow.

Christmas Lights

In an attempt to go green Anthony spent a lot of green(money) stocking up on L.E.D. Christmas lights on Black Friday.

I thought 30 strands of lights was a little much and was nervous our house might look like the house on National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, minus all the decorations.

Turns out there are still lots of bushes that still could have used lights. Anthony is happy with the results, but I am sure next year he will be purchasing more lights.
