The lights at the Zoo.

We got lucky, the weather was very mild, and the zoo was not very busy. We hit all the hot spots and got our picture taken in front of the beautiful tree with thosands of lights. And below you will see the lights display. (The boy you don't know is our "little brother." We joined the Big Brothers/Big Sisters prograrm.)

I have been spending Christmas Eve at my Grandmother's house for as long as I can remember. It is great to have the tradition continue for my children. And it seems every year we have a new addition, a new Great Grandchild. It makes the Christmas season that much better. Merry Christmas!

Owens Christmas Program.

It was Owen turn to shine at his Christmas Program.

Owen decided to stand alone, he didn't want to sing with the group.

Proud Mama.

Owen in his Shepard gear.

Owen getting a drink before the big show.

I love being a mom.

This is the night of Ashton's Christmas Musical. He was supposed to wear a red or green shirt, so of course at the last minute we were searching his closet. We decided on a green checked shirt(he LOVES to dress handsome). While looking through his closet he spotted his tie and wanted to wear it. Thus the trickle down affect...Owen and Carly want to wear ties too. So, we changed Owen's outfit and put his tie on, and Carly wore one of Ryan's ties. They were the best dressed kids at the show.

Here he is up on stage, doing his thing!
