Ever wonder how far 1 chocolate chip can go???

I was using up the leftover chips (white chocolate, butterscotch, and chocolate) from Christmas baking on some cookies just for us. What I ended up with was a lot of cookie with a few chips in them. I gave Mailee 1/2 of a cookie that had 1 chocolate chip in it and, boy, did she make good use of that one chip!!! I don't think she possibly could have swallowed any of it, but I got the "Best Mommy in the World" award for letting her have it!

Yummy New Year!!!

Pretty Lady!

Wuzzup!?!

Bye Bye 2007

What a blast! 2007 was a great year, but now we are ready for 2008. Get in, hold on, and tighten your seatbelt!!!

Wahoo!

Mailee Opens Her First Christmas Gift

SUCH JOY! What a wonderful morning!

Enjoy just a short snippet of the happiness and fun!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Treasure

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Christmas this year was so much more fun than I have had in years! Mailee is not old enough for the "what am I going to get" attitude, yet everyting was new and special to her. She didn't care what was in the packages, just the fun of ripping the paper. She giggled hysterically at each one. What entertainment!!! She was the belle of the ball for the whole family!

We missed those members of the family who could not be with us this year! To you we wish you the merriest Christmas ever!

To all of our family and friends - May you have the childish joy in your hearts as we head into 2008!

White Christmas

It is snowing in Ventura County!

We took Mailee to the snow last night. Well, at least to the Simi Valley Town Center. They have a snow show each night around their amazingly huge Christmas tree. There was a live brass band with players dressed as Nutcrackers playing Christmas carols. It really was a treat for us all. It was so fun to see her run around in the "snow." Mailee loved it!

She is so incredible! What a reminder of the gift of youth. If we live through our children, we get to be kids all over again!!!

Well... Santa has reindeer!

Mailee loves to drive her bus (although usually facing the rear) and this time she wanted to invite her lion to be a passenger. Too bad there isn't enough room for both of them. After trying to get the lion on the bus, Mailee decided Lion will have to "walk" beside!
