Baby, It's Colllllld Outside!

Friday and Saturday was farely busy for us.

I surprised Mikaila after school on Friday and stopped in front of her friend's house and told her she gets to have a sleepover......"Go get her!" So of course, any sleepover needs munchies and we made our way to the Dollar Tree for that. (where else?!)
That night, Ashleigh had a basketball game with a very exciting ending of being tied, going into overtime and then the Vipers pulling off a win....go Verrado!! She is actually one of the managers of the team, and is either in charge of the books or running the video camera :)

Saturday, the twins had a birthday party to go to (I think for one reason or another, we are always at Walton park every weekend!) It was very cold that day, but they had a great time playing with friends and getting all sugared up!

I love both the boys' teachers. Just to give you an example of how great they are, Camden's teacher walked from her house to the park to join the class  for the party on Saturday! How awesome is that to have your teacher show up, and not only that, but chase you around the playground?! :)

We came home for a few hours and then headed back to Verrado for their "Hometown Holidays" night. They had pictues with Santa, snow brought in for the kids to play in, horse drawn hayrides, smores around the big fire, cookie decorating, & pony rides. It was just the perfect size and enough for us to do! I do love Glendale Glitters, but it  can get pretty busy and crowded, so our little evening worked out great and was a lot of fun! Best of  all (for me anyways) is running into so many people that we knew there-pretty darn near close to Mayberry if you ask me! :)





About to leave, for our evening of cold weather!!

It's actually refreshing to see everyone wearing winter coats and gloves instead of shorts and flip flops! Of course if I still lived in Ohio I wouldn't be saying that!!

Looks like you all had so much fun!
Poor Casey Boo......forgot his wish
list for Santa?

Great pics as usual Mary! You & Jen should start a company!

It was a little cold Saturday! We drove through snow that covered the ground that night after church! It was amazing. More than we have ever seen in the valley! Good memories! Looks like tons of fun at Verrado. I pray you all can get a home there soon as I know it is what you want. Poor Casey! It is a great pic though!
