Chrissy gave this to us, its like a manager scene, only its the 12 and the Savior! I have never seen anything like it before, its kinda cool.

Now We Know What Noah Thought

It was raining SOOO hard this afternoon, that the PO parking area for off loading mail, flooded. You can see how this van is parting the way. . .poor Noah, it must have been pretty freaky for him. And to make matters even better, I was wearing girl shoes, so my feet got REALLY wet!

Hot Rod Cafe. . .We get The Backseat!!!

We went to dinner with Jack and Deb the other night, and at Bliss, you can sit in these cool 50s cars! As we arrived, Steven yells, "we get the backseat". . and Jack's like, "dang!!" We had a great time just visiting and catching up on kids and stuff. Debbie is actually talking to Ryan here!

HO HO HO Merry Christmas

Steven snuck in and surprised taylor with a visit . . she wasnt getting to come to the show, so we needed pics now. She was so embrassed when she saw Santa and then she asked him why he was wearing papa's work boots! She wasnt sure at first, but then she figured it out when he tried to bite her ear! Nice going Santa!! She was really happy with the whole thing!

Santa leaving. . .
And later at Fred Meyers we ran into the REAL Santa and he posed with her for me. Later we went and had her photo with him. At first she wanted no part of him or the pics, so I offered her 1.00 ...still no. Then when we met him in the isle, it was sort of ok now. We went to his area and she waved like they were old friends and hopped up on his lap for her photo! And then she asked for her $$. Kids!

Trying Out For The Variety Show

Taylor LOVES to use the mic. . so we brought her with us to set up on Friday night and let her have a turn singing. We didnt get to have her for the real deal, so this was the best we could do. . .sorry Tay!
