Children's Christmas Party 2008




As you can see, we knew where Jaxson was this year, in the caboose of the train with his little bro, Addison! He rode about six times. Addison lasted one. Meanwhile, Jayden was where the action was, on the snow slope.
Mommy and Dad were a big help this year! Papa and I got to enjoy ourselves much more and actually see the kids having fun. Despite a rather warm day, 80 degrees, the kids still had a blast in the rapidly melting snow that was brought in. The day couldn't have been better. No one got hit with a snowball (except MaMa, oh well) and the pizza, games to play, and Mr. and Mrs. Clause posed with the boyz for a holiday picture. They each got a gift and my gift was them!
Christmas will be early for us this year as MaMa has surgery on the 22nd. Merry Christmas, ho ho ho, jokes on me. But I plan to rally in time for our new baby coming in May. More to follow on that subject as we find out the sex tomorrow. Happiness abounds!

Thanks Giving


November brought a turkey to our kitchen table. The first one in about 9 yrs. My pregnant Bridgett made a request for "Mom's stuffing" and that's all it took. Tommy and I got busy and put together a really nice, simple, Thanksgiving feast only 2 days before. Thank you Scolari's!!

The boys were on their best behavior (for awhile) and gave us the joy of youth we needed. There's something so special about grandchildren. PaPa washed dishes for about 45 minutes while I had a tea party with Addison and Jaxson. Everyone was filled to the brim and I sent home another meal with the kids. Round two to come, Christmas!
