Dance Revolution!

The calm before the storm... This picture was taken from the ferry on our way to Port Orchard

Every year my girls and I get together to bake Christmas cookies for our up coming holiday parties. Well this year was a bit different.....we had every intent on making 4 or 5 different kinds of cookies. Things just didn't work out the way we planned.....instead we drank way too much champagne and played Dance Revolution!

Our very own tree hugger!

Some day I think this picture will haunt us..... sorry kids!






















The Christmas tree's up!

This is a pretty sad tree...

And the hussel and bussel begins!

Tony is my Christmas hero! Not every husband is willing to climb up on a roof the week before Thanksgiving and hang Christmas lights. That's right.....a week before Thanksgiving! Everyone knows that Christmas is my favorite holiday including my husband. Thanks Tony's ....you're the best!


Good thing Jude wasn't here to see this......
We put the Christmas light's up just in time for the first snow fall....













Thanksgiving

This year we had a pre-Thanksgiving dinner with the Troung and German families. Look at Max....she's all grown up just chilling with daddy!

This is Max and Victor watching a Christmas movie....I asked them to smile but apparently Santa's is more of a priority then me......


Tony's smoked turkey.....super tasty!


It's someone first Thanksgiving......?????


Yipeee.....Nicole is preggers!

Eric and Matt make such good partner's in the kitchen :)

I LOVE my friends!

It's been a few months since I've seen my girls. We've all been busy as usual...... planning weddings, getting the boys ready for school, new jobs and running business's. The wonderful thing about my girls is that when we do have the opportunity to see each other it's like no time has passed. We pick up right where we left off..... tons of laughs, good food & wine.....and maybe if we're lucky a DANCE OFF!!! I love you girls....can't wait for our cookie date next month.


Soren is all about video games....not his aunties :)
Fish face contest.... sorry E..I think Thaydon won!!!??

Jules and I had the opportunity to visit Al and Georgia a few weeks back. In true Georgia form she was dressed for the occasion.


I love this pic!

Team Georgia

While Tony and I were in Hawaii there wasn't a day that went by we weren't thinking of Georgia and the Handsaker's. We had an amazing time with the family but I almost felt guilty being there knowing what one of my dearest friends was going through. Thanks to FaceBook we found out there was going to be a 5k walk/run supporting Leukemia/Lymphoma in Seattle. 100% of the proceeds went to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

From there......we organized TEAM GEORGIA!!!!!!!! It was an amazing day! We must of had 35-40 people come out and participate. Everyone from former colleagues at WaMu, sorority sisters, PEPS group, family and friends. I was so nervous because the night before the race it was raining sideways. I had my doubts but everything turned out perfect. I can't wait for Brian, Alison and Georgia to join us next year. We love you Georgia.... you tell those doc's who's boss.....keep your sassiness and come home soon! XOXOX
