Christmas Break

So I wanted the kids to pick out a few gifts for Jimmy and Jenny for Christmas. We all know we don't need more crap but I want them to understand giving more-so we went to the Target dollar section and I gave Oscar and Franki a list of people they had to buy for. Oscar picked out santa claus chocolate for Jimmy and clappers for Jenny. He was pretty adiment about Jenny having party clappers. It was funny. And Ms. Frances picked out a yo yo for Jimmy. We can always use yo yo's! Also..wrapping by Oscar and Franki!!
I was looking around the house for something to use for our advant-like countdown till Christmas. Chinese Take out cartons seemed to work. I bought them awhile ago for gift boxes but I think they spiced up our tree!
Snow in Seattle!!! Crazy.

Uncle Ralph, Franki , Oscar and Aunt Jenny -ahhh so cute.

Oh dear....This barbie is Frannie's favorite gift and is annoying as heck!!! The barbie sings super cheesy songs. One of the songs starts out..."I feel connected...protected..." Jimmy made up some words..."I feel rejected....suspected.." hee, hee.

One of Oscar's favorite gifts..another light sabor. You can never have too many light sabors!

Frannie was serving us coffee with her new barbie tea set and putting barbie stickers all over our faces.

This past year has been a challenging year. A quick move from Madison, Wi to Seattle, Wa. We couldn't have made the move without great friends like Jimmy, Jenny, Retta, Lori and Kevin,Jo and Bob, Rambod and Judy,Kim, Lisa, Kathy(and Dean),Jennie(P.), Amy P., and Eydie and Dave. I can't say thank you enough to especially Jimmy, Jenny,Retta and Lori for encouraging the kids and I and just being there for us.

May you all be blessed with great friends and good cheer!!!

Love,katie, Oscar and Frances
