The Sweetness

Christmas come and gone, and I am glad. For Christmas, I gave Dianna a trip to the salon to get her "nales" done. I promised Savannah that she could accompany us and we would make it a girls day. I got a pedicure, and Savannah got her "nales" painted. She must have had a good time that day. When we got back she wrote the note on the picture above on my calendar. I love this picture especially the way she spelled nails and done. Gotta love that sweet little girl. She sat so still and was soooo good at the salon. I have also included a picture of her with her favorite Christmas gift from Santa. She is a real sweetie !!!

The Socks

What can I say about my hubby. He numbers his socks. The "D" on the socks stands for Dad, so we have Dad 1 (D1) etc.

Mark also numbered Joshua and Michael's socks as well. Those sock numbers run J1 and M1 respectively. . .You get my drift I'm sure.

The weird part about it all is that Joshua and Michael do their own laundry and D socks never mingle with J or M socks, nor do J and M socks ever mingle.

I'm not sure if this is a military thing or not, I just don't know. . . .but the weirdest part of all is . . . I try and match them all by numbers when I do the laundry.

I need to get back to work - and soon - sock mania is drivin me nutso.

Sock Bingo Anyone! "D5 - Bingo!!"

Christmas Eve at the West House

Here are a few pics from Christmas Eve at my house. I have just included pics of all the kids. Let's face it - Christmas is about the kids anyway. My oh My how all of these kids have grown.

The Subjects

Golly, what can I say. Seems everyone is posting picture after picture on their blogs - that is, everyone but me. I only post pics other people take (Thanks Nan). I went out and bought me a camera. It's new, I'm green at this, so I'm gonna practice posting a few pics that I snapped around the house. I want to go to "blog" school so I can make this look all nice and pretty like some of you do. Any Teacher's out there???

Daisy and Shiloh: Daisy is camera shy and does NOT like the camera.

The Twins, like Daisy DO NOT LIKE THE CAMERA, so I caught them off-guard.
This is Michael sorting our mail.

This is Joshua - just coming home from school, caught by surprise.
