Bake Sales, Kidney Checks, Christmas Lights and Piano Recitals

Julia's grade had their bake sale last week. All of the money went to the Salvation Army. They were so proud and so excited!

Julia by the big tree at a shopping center.

Natalie had her yearly kidney check. It all went well - no whammies!

Mom and I went with the girls to the local botanical gardens that is turned into a fantastic Christmas light display!

And for the first time ever, Julia sat on Santa's lap and shared her list with him!

We even got to meet Frosty.

Julia too this photo of the trees. They were so pretty!

My girls.

Goofy girls.

And we also found Rudolph!

The girls also had their winter piano recital.

These two.

Here are the videos of their performances.

Thanksgiving 2015

Thanksgiving this year was one for the books! Poor Max got really sick with HGE before we left for Texas so Jeff had to stay behind and take care of him. The girls and I headed south!

Here we are at 5am Thanksgiving Day heading towards the airport!

Yea!! Dad got a bundt cake!

Natalie all dolled up!

Julia really wasn't in the mood...

So excited!

Still not into it...

But I got one photo.

Dad carving the turkey.

Natalie was SO excited for all the good food!

She finally made it to the table...without the dress.

Time for a little turkey game!

And some cheerleading with laser lights!

The gang's all here! (Minus Jeff....and Max...)

The girls and I on Thanksgiving.

This is what the girls looked like when we pulled into the garage at home!

And Julia finally lost her 4th tooth! Yea!
