Christmas at Gramma's New House
















We had a wonderful time opening gifts in Granny Janny's new sun room of her beautiful new house! Great Gramma Patty and Great Grampa Mickey joined us for the event.

LILLIE'S 6th BIRTHDAY!!!







Lillie turned 6 on Christmas but we celebrated on the 26th. When asked where she wanted to go for her birthday dinner, she quickly piped in and said she really wanted to go to Sizzler! ( I was expecting her to say Chuch E Cheese or Mulligans! But Sizzler? Who knew???) Then she went on a shopping spree at Build A Bear Workshop! I think she has a GREAT day. Kylie was not so happy about the in prompt to photo shoot!

Julianna's 8th Birthday
















We has a great time celebrating the 8th birthday of a very special little girl! We took yummy cookies to her class, then came home and opened presents and ate the sweet cake that she helped make and decorate! She got money from Gramma and Grampa Burgans, new skates and a purse filled with goodies from Gramma Jan, and a cute new outfit from her brother and sisters. Mom and Dad got her a REAL diamond ring, so she can always look at her finger and know how much we love her! Happy birthday Bean! You're wonderful!!!

PERFECT MATCH


We went frame shopping for Maddie's masterpiece expecting to pay bucko bucks, when we found this PERFECT frame at Ross on clearance for only $5.50!!! I love sweet deals!

CUTE BUNNY







We found this adorable bunny hopping around the neighborhood. The kids thought that if they caught it, we could keep it. At this point it's just a maybe. How can you say no to a face like this?

TOOTHLESS BEAN


I was picking up the kids from school today, when Julianna informed me that she had lost "something". When I started to turn the van around to go back to the school, she said that she had "it". When I asked her what "it" was, she just turned her head and smiled!

AMAZING KID


I wanted some decorations from Nightmare Before Christmas. I couldn't find a large painting of Jack anywhere, so I tried to get creative. I bought a canvas and some paints and asked Madison to try to paint me a picture of him. She disappeared into her room, and a half an hour later, came back with this. It's amazing!!! I'm thinking that she might have some talent! HA HA!
