the ride to the airport at 3 am! :(

chilling out in Dallas, very, very tired!

circling home, lots of snow!

sun was setting just as we were getting ready to land

We had an amazing vacation!! :)
Renting a condo was SO much better than a hotel.
We had 3 separate bedrooms, laundry, cooked our own food and had a maid :)

Ever After high project!

I do not consider myself very crafty, but this was pretty fun!
the kids are into "ever after high" dolls
they found some videos of people making their dolls beds
the kids made a list of all the supplies we needed and here is the project!
cutting out the pieces from foam board

getting all the pieces together

had to dig out my glue gun :)

4 rough beds lined up!

the ever after high dolls helping cheer on the Patriots!

first bed done! (for cupid)

second bed done! (for Raven)

third bed done! (for the huntsman)
I have to say, I think they turned out pretty good! :)
the kids LOVE them! and as I told them, NO one else has anything like them! :)
(ran out of steam after 3, so still have 1 more to do!)

Trip to Philly!

We had a dr visit so we drove to Philly!
Stella is so regal :)
Gerri was SO happy to figure out that it was Thursday night, which meant therapy dogs at RMH!!

lovin on Abner!

gotta scratch!

what a face!


waitin on dr vB, her feet were hurting so bad the night before that I just had her take her afo's off and sleep in her socks.
good news - she has grown 2 inches since we were here last in August!
better news - even though she has relapses a bit on her feet, he does not serial cast twice in one year so we just had her splints tweaked and she was much happier and we were on the road!!

Heading home!!
she has a miserable cold so I stopped and bought her some medicine :)

See you in 6 months Philly!!!
