Christmas is Coming...

In the mall one day I passed 

Build-A-Bear and saw Rudolph 

and Clarise!  I could not resist!

 I purchased them and took 

them home.  On this one day shy

of December, I took the girls to 

stuff their new friends.  Eva and El

had a great time... almost as much

fun as I had:)

p.s. all pictures were taken with my new iPhone 5!

The time has come.  

I finally bought a smart phone.

It was time... my dumb phone 

was becoming a dinosaur, my contract 

was up.  Time to move to better service 

and a 21st century phone.  

El couldn't be happier!

Her service is with me so...

she gets an iPhone 5 too.

She has earned it.  Great girl,

wonderful sister, excellent student,

kind and loyal friend, extraordinary daughter!

Enjoy!

And the Hoidays are Here... Happy Thanksgiving!

 Thanksgiving is here!

Pocahontas tries a little treat! 

Such a beautiful day we had dinner by the pool...

It was perfect!

 Eva and Jimmy play poolside.

Cooking, nibbling, drinking, and goofing around...

 Delicious!

What a lovely afternoon.

After dinner these four are off to the UT game!

El took my ticket as she was still a bit jealous that

Eva had been to a game but she had not.

With this group... she came home with some

very interesting stories!

Eva is ready for the Holidays!

It did not take long after Halloween for 

Eva to decide it is time for the holidays!

 She came down decked out in red and white!
