Christmas is almost here

This year really flew by. We had our open house at work where yours truly dresses up as Santa every year and of course it just so happened that we had the hottest day on record that day. The party was really nice but Mommy and the girls were running late from Michelle's soccer game and didn't get a chance to see Santa. They know it's me but they just love seeing me dressed up. We did get to take a picture and I think I will take the costume home and wear it for them at home. Mia also had a Christmas party at school and Mommy took some pictures. From the expression on the kids face in the second picture you would think that I was taking the pictures but I guess Mommy is pretty intimidating herself.

Orange League Champs

A couple weeks ago the parents of our freshmen had a BBQ in celebration of our league championship. It's been about 8 years since our last title and at the begining of the season I would have never thought that this group would be champions but they worked hard, played as a team and played with alot of heart. I'm very proud to have coached this hard working group of kids. GO COLONISTS !!!

Who needs video games

Sophia and Mia found something else to play with at Michelle's soccer game last week. They had a blast playing in the leaves and when I saw the picture it reminded me of the old days when kids used to play outside.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving at our house was wonderful. We had a great time visiting with each other. My Mom, my Grandma and my brothers all came over. Andrew brought his appetite and Sarah had to work but she came over after work. The food was excellent and Mia's prayer brought tears to my eyes. It was unprompted and unscripted, she just spoke up when I was about to start our prayer and said "Daddy, I want to pray today" and it was the most beautiful prayer I have ever heard. Thank you Lord for always being in my girls hearts. We ate, talked and watched football all day. I finally retired to my recently remodeled DAD CAVE and my early Christmas present......my new rocker recliner that I bought that day at a Thanksgiving sale, took it out of the box and made sure my butt was the first butt to sit on it. Since Andrew moved out Dad needs a place to do boy things like scratch myself, fart and watch sports. That's what I tell the girls anyway, who insist it is a "Play room". I will post some pictures of Thanksgiving and more importantly Dad's DAD CAVE when I get them downloaded. Until then here are a couple of Mia's soccer team pizza party, Mia making a ginger bread man and the girls making a pumkin at girls scouts.
