30 Thank-Yous!!

No Top Ten today. A thank-you to my family for a wonderful party and presents.

Thank-you to...

...my hubby and kids for the iPod Nano (and roses from my hubby)

...my parents for the lovely shirt/sweater

...my sister for the gift card (which will go toward jeans) and the box of 30s (i.e. 30 peanut butter cups, 30 chop sticks, 30 rockets candy, 30 pennies...)

...my mom-in-law for the wonderful Elle lunch purse (which is more appropriate than bag) and the wonderful prayer book and digital keychain!

Thank-you all so very much! I was so excited with each present.

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend and are NOT in the malls shopping!!

No Originality at All...

And here I thought I was being original with at least Aidan's name! Check it out here: click here! Both kids' names are on the top ten list and Aidan is number one!! How does that happen???

Look Mom! I'm A Donkey!!

Yes, Aidan was a donkey, and he was sooooo cute! I could just eat him all up!!

Above: He is frantically looking for Mommy, Daddy, Emma, Granny and Grandpa. He was so excited when he saw us and even (at one point) waved at Granny.

Above: Here he is playing a handbell. Of course he had to wait until the last note to play. Then he got to let 'er rip! He loved it!


Above: The parent photo opp time! He looked wonderful! What a smart boy, if I do say so myself!

One more day of Preschool on Friday and then it is Christmas vacation!
