December 21

Proud daddy Dwight came over Monday afternoon to show the girls pictures

of their new brother. Courtney cared. Nikki was too

busy playing with Thomas to pay much attention!

December - Sunday School Christmas Program

I sort of broke some rules and videotaped from

the front row while I was directing - Dwight and Leshia needed some

pics, after all! It went fairly well, altho I was so busy taking Cameron's

speech photo, I was sort of lost when she needed help...oops!

I was so proud of her! Courtney was stoic throughout...

My little man. In his school shoes. Oops.

Check out super-shy Cameron!

It was a lovely night.

December 20 - A Very Big Day Out Here!

Sunday morning was very exciting - three little

girls in our house, and a baby boy on the way!

Here's Thomas and Nikki playing in the nursery.

Shortly after this, both kids got bonked in the head

with an upper rail and cried themselves silly. It was fun!

December - Family Photo

Here's the winner, it probably looks familiar...

The whole white Christmas idea was a bomb...

Thomas was positive "Cheese" meant squeeze your eyes shut tight...
We had to pause and have a little chat...

Husband and sons...joy of my life.

Here's our Disney photo...

I just love John's smile!

Mid-December - Ping Pong!

Calvin gave himself a ping-pong table for Christmas,

and had Dwight over to put it together...

What would we do without Dwight :)!

Thomas thought he could help with his play drill.

John is getting impatient. Calvin was driven to drink...

Proud ping-pong daddy!

A historic photo - the very first ping pong game in our home...

Okay, our garage...Now all we need is Vic, wild hilarious

giggling, and grown men whapping balls at bare backs,

and we're back ten years. Come visit, Vic!

The boys finally got their chance!

December - I Love My Boys!

I love this pic of John - he can be so dreamy...

Calvin has a lot of meetings. Here is Thomas, really mad,
trying to block him from leaving for a school board meeting.

These stockings are well loved now...

December - Lighted Christmas Parade

After selling banket we met Leshia at the lighted

Christmas parade. I usually miss it by going to Seattle

with C for a garbage meeting, but I decided the boys were

the perfect age for me to take them for once.

Thomas silently loved it. John and I froze.

I took this one for Brad.

This one won this year! It looked so cool coming down the street!

This is my favorite entry every year.

Here's Dwight coming down the street!

Cute hat, Dwiggy! He stopped and posed the truck for me...

Cameron in her element. Courtney in hiding...

From the rear. We looked pretty cute!
