Todd Turns 40!

Well, Todd turned the Big 40 this year! We didn't do a big party, but we did go down to Marble Falls to celebrate with Todd's Dad, as they share the same birth date! (And this was before the days of scheduled births). Also, we celebrated Brooke's 7th birthday. She was really surprised to see us. It was really fun and Judy got some cute cakes. Also, she called the Damiani's and they came in to surprise Todd. Very, very fun celebration. Happy, Happy birthday!

My Tiny Ballerina

Skylar has started Ballet lessons! She is so excited and didn't even mind when I had to do her hair (that is HUGE). She goes with her best bud, Maggie and so far, she seems to really like it. Here are some new pictures.

It's a Zoo In There!!

For some unknown reason, I thought it would be fun to go to the Fort Worth Zoo on Wednesday of Spring Break. However, 23,000 other people thought the same thing!!! It was SOOOOOO crazy-it was on both news reports (5pm and 10pm) and they said it was the highest attendance EVER!! I should have taken pictures of the crowds and not the animals! So wild. But we had fun-Nana and Pop-Pop came along and we still had fun. Fortunately, Todd agreed to let us get a season pass, so we didn't have to wait in line and we get to go back anytime we want throughout the whole year! Thanks Daddy! The kids still had a super time and I got some cute pictures. Enjoy!

Two Babes in a Bear Hole! (This is a lookout where you can view the bear habitat in the Texas Section).

A fan favorite-the elephants. This was a baby female elephant-she was very cute!

I believe this was an Asian Rhino? Not really sure!


These little antelope were Nana's favorite because of their delicate legs-they really were very cute.

Christmas Eve Fun at Nana & Pop-Pop's House

We went to Nana's/Pop-Pop's for our annual Christmas Eve festivities. The kids always have a great time opening presents, snacking on finger foods and enjoying their grandparent's. We have to make it an early night because we have to get home and in bed so Santa is able to make his visit.

Daddy, I think you used too much soap in the tub!

Is this funny, or what!! Todd called me in to see the kids enjoying their evening bath and I about fell over! They had a great time, as you can probably imagine. And they were REALLY clean. HA HA Enjoy!

Pretty as a Princess! January 2009

Skylar went to a Princess Party and this was the final result after hair and makeup! She looks so cute and had so much fun. She doesn't let me touch her hair, but she let the young girls do whatever they wanted. Go figure! Hope everyone is well.

Love,
Susan

Santa Baby!

Santa. . . I can explain! That should have been what my children would say to Santa this year! This was our 5th year to see this wonderful Santa Claus. He has always been at Stonebriar Mall, but this year he is appearing at the new outside mall in Allen. If you need to look him up, more information can be found at http://www.thevillageatallen.com/. They had a very pretty large tree that had lights that blinked with the music, real reindeer and a spot for the kids to drop off letters to Santa. We met our friends the Cutler's and then went and had a fun dinner. Hope everyone is well and enjoying the season. (On a another note, I am writing this because we are home today for a snow/sleet day. Last night it started coming down and I think we had something like 97 accidents around the metroplex. Pretty crazy. FISD had a two-hour delay and then they decided to have a full-day closing. The kids had fun being lazy and playing and watching the snow come down. Trevor's X-mas program was cancelled, but is postponed to Wed.) Everyone stay warm and stay well! Love, Susan
