Snow Fallen

I wanted to get some quick pictures posted. My brother and his family came in town for Christmas. There were just a few days that everyone was here at the same time, before some of my sisters headed off to their different places for Christmas.

Here are some fun pictures of all of us as we went sledding down the hill in my parents yard.

Congrats Jacob

I hope you are going to see many more pictures just like this one... only the colors of belts will be changing.

Jacob got his Orange belt on Thursday. We are so proud of him for all his is accomplishing!!

I have really seen a change in him and in his confidence. To get your next belt, he has to stand in front of his class, and all the visitors and show some of the things he has learned. Last year he would never have done this. Now, he gets up with out even a thought or a care and preforms all the moves he knows.

Jacob we are proud of you!!! Keep up the good work!! Just stop using the moves on your sister!

Black Friday.... I know I know a little late

I just got these pictures from my sweet baby sister Katie. She was the only one that brought a camera with us on that infamous day.

We started at Toys R Us at 3:30 AM. It was cold and it was dark... but we were only about 20 back from the front of the line. By the time the doors opened at 5 am, the line was wrapped all the way past RC Willeys front door and around the corner. We had a stragey this year. Basically... grap and shove. No, not really, but we ran.... and we grabbed only what we came for and then headed for the checkout. We made it in and out of Toys R Us in 8 minutes!! Pretty dang good I think.

We were then off to Target where they opened at 6 am. Although we were farther back in line, we still got in and out of there in 15 minutes. All I wanted was Playdo.... $6.00 playdo... Silly I know!!

Anyway, we then hit Walmart & ShopKo before heading home. I made it home by 9 am.

I was exausted but was able to get most of my Christmas shopping done in 5 hours.

Shopping the Ads the day before

What a fake smile... I was tired!!

Does this count?

I am wondering if this counts as rolling over?
