SHE IS REALLY GETTING INTO IT.SHE HAS BEEN PLAYING ALL DAY. WE WENT TO THE BEACH FOR A LITTLE WHILE. YES IT WAS TOO COLD FOR US FLORIDIANS TO BE OUT THERE LONG.I KNOW LAUGH IF YOU MUST. PEOPLE FROM CANADA WERE OUT SWIMMING. BURR!!!!!. WE JUST STARTED THE GRILL AND WE ARE COOKING STEAKS FOR OUR CHRISTMAS DINNER.WE WENT NON TRADITIONAL THIS YEAR. I JUST DIDN'T FEEL LIKE COOKING ALL DAY.I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS. BE HOME FIRST OF FEBRUARY. LOVE TO ALL.

breakfast with santa

Today we made cookies for Santa. trick is will they last that long.I bought the stuff to make them a few days ahead but Leia wanted to do it today. she had such a good time doing it. Yummy!!!
Saturday we went and had breakfast with Santa. The Air Force did such a great job. It was WHO VILLE and the Grinch theme. It was well set up and decorated beautifully.This is the only shot of Leia where I have the whole dress in it. I had it made for her. I love it.
The Grinch.

She told Santa again that she wanted a farm with a horse. Not a toy horse either.Man was she disappointed when she got a doll.
she is such an angel.
This is one of her boy friends Hunter. Don't they make a cute couple. His dad says he will be really upset when we leave.These two do everything together..They've been in the same class since she was 2.

ITS BEEN A BUSY WEEK with work

Man it's been a busy week. Most days I worked 14 hour shifts. Today was an early day just an 8 hour shift today. I got to pick Leia up from daycare BUT she wanted to stay. I was so happy just to see everyone. I hope everyone got there Christmas cards, If not I will be ruining the picture surprise that I sent out. I took pictures of Leia at the beach last weekend. It has been killing me not to post those great pictures. Almost Everyone will be getting a different picture.She took so many good pictures I couldn't decide which one was best ,so I made up 5 different photo cards for everyone. I hope you enjoy them.Not much happened this week other than work. Chris has to work a double shifts this weekend on top of his normal work week,so we won't be doing much. Saturday we will have breakfast with Santa and then go to one of her friends birthday party. So Sunday I will clean house. WOW exciting HUH!!! I will post pictures tomorrow of breakfast with Santa. I hope everyone had a good week.I'm fixing to take Leia roller skating around the block to look at the Christmas lights. BYE!

vacation pictures

Putting these Pictures in order isn't working well today. I've been at this for almost 2 hours and I am giving up on putting these in order. We had a great time on our trip. It was nice to see almost everyone. I know there are a lot of people that WE didn't get a chance to see,but I hope to see everyone In February when we come home. Chris Starts Monday on part of the Physical that he needs to pass. The big one is Dec. 5th which is Wednesday.He's nervous about it ,but I know he can do it.Leia and I are going to one of her friends Birthday party's today. And hopefully I can call my friend Stacy and see if they want to go to the park or out shopping or something. It's been awhile since I've seen them.Chris will be home sleeping most of the time. He has to work tonight so he said he only wanted to sleep and do nothing so Leia and I will be going out on the town today. It is supposed to be 76 today. I'm sure you all are getting snow today. The Midwest is getting hammered with a snow storm for my Florida friends.Hope everyone stays safe this weekend love to all. Enjoy our vacation pictures. again they are so out of order. Sorry.
