White Christmas

Our first real snowfall of the year brought us about 9 inches. The kids have had colds so they haven't gotten to go out and play in it. Of course, Dennis just got the kids swing set up a few days ago. Ky didn't even get to play on it before it snowed. It isn't going anywhere though so she'll get a chance to later. We'll be going to Boise to spend Christmas with Jen's parents. Hopefully, we'll get a little snow up there....after we make the drive.

A Visit to Santa at the Mall

Cameron's preschool visited Santa at the mall on Thursday the 7th December. I don't know if it is appropriate to post group pics on blogs without permission so I have just posted the one of the kids. They had bright lights so I didn't use the flash and the shutter speed was slow so its a little blurry. The kids did great sitting with Santa. Neither of them cried or said they didn't want to sit with him and they both told him what they wanted for Christmas. Cameron wants a "construction set with signs" (that goes with his GeoTrax) and Kylie wants a "Dora, Dora Explorer." Shirley joined us and took us to lunch after. It was a lot of fun.

Pictures of the Kids from 3 December 2006

Wanted to show some cute photos of the kids taken this morning before church.

Kylie is dressed and ready to go. Cameron, as usual is still in pjs. He can be a bear to get dressed some mornings.

We'll Miss You Greg Wiggle!

We were very sad to hear that Greg Wiggle Page had to retire from the Wiggles. For those who haven't heard, he is really sick and can't perform anymore.

I asked Cameron (age 4 1/2) to make Greg a card and Kylie (age 2) had to join in. I decided I'll mail him a card as well.

In Cameron's drawing, if you look close, Greg (in yellow) is giving the truck a cup of red medicine. The drawing is completely his own although I helped him spell. I only wrote the description as well as "Get well soon Greg"

Kylie's drawing is of the Wiggles on a merry go round. After she drew the circles, she told us it was a merry go round. I asked if the Wiggles could ride it and she drew a little of each of their colors.

My card is from a picture I took of one of the last butterflies of summer at my parents place in Idaho. I'm going to mail them to Wiggle headquarters and hope Greg will get to see them although I'm sure he is getting a ton of mail right now. Anyways, thanks for looking.
