Christmas 2009

I took this picture and had it put on canvas for Stacie & Kev's present. I think through the years it will become priceless.
Brittnie, Jason and the girls came to Stacie's for breakfast, before they left for Disneyland. I'm thankful I got to see them on Christmas.

What a cute Family:-)

Cute sisters, Ipo and Aja.

Ka'Lya is such a beautiful baby. I really can't get enough of her.

My brother Donnie & sister-in-law Linda.

The boys and their papa

Don, me, Sasha & Kaili. I really loved this Christmas:-) I'm so thankful for family and friends. I just pray 2010 will be a better year. I better start planning the New Years Eve Party!!!

Lunch & Shopping

I love being with my girls. We have a tradition to go shopping and to lunch. I wasn't sure it would happen this year because of Stacie. I;m so thankful we had the wheelchair even though me and Brittnie keep running her into things (sorry Stac). I'm also thankful she is able to stand for a few minutes. I really hope that 2010 well be a better year:-)
Brittnie showing us how she fits into a six 6X (so it should fit Kaili)...LOL..well she did look good. I love you girls so much!!!

Snowmen!!!

We are having a family Christmas party tonight and everyone needed to make a homemade gift. I had so much fun making this fun snowman arrangement. It's made with chocolate bars covered in paper in a gift bag.

I love red and green.

Don's Surgery

Don had Gastric Bypass surgery on Dec 10th. We have been trying for almost 2 years for the insurance to approve it. They finally did in November. He can only eat 3 meals a day each meal consists of 2oz of food. I feel so mean when I give it to him. I feel so guilty eating. I know the end result will be amazing, but it's still very hard.
Before surgery

After surgery. This pic will be our marker of his weight loss. I love him so much and I'm so proud of him. This will allow him to be able to do all the things he loves.

Gingerbread Houses 09!!!

What would the world be without girls....LOL
Our annual gingerbread party:-) Sasha, what a beautiful house.
Keo is so creative.
Kaili, I love the cute fence with the snow.
Ipo, I love the look:-)
Noelle, you are such a sweet girl. I love when you come over and play with the girls.
Lexy, you are such a fun girl.
This was Ben's first time making houses with us. He was so funny he loved the frosting that's what is in his hand. He did put some on his house lol.
This year I had 13 kids, Brock, Megan, Abbie, Alise, Noelle, Ben, Lexy, Kaili, Sasha, Kee, Ipo, Keo, and Aja. I told Don I want another table so I can invite a lot more kids:-) When I say I love having all of the kids over I really mean it. My sweet Don makes these fun things happen, by always supporting me. I Love You!!!!!
