"I'm ready to be used how about you?" "Okay Lord here's my heart" Tessa age 6

The whole darn fam came out to support the twinsies at their Christmas Production. Tessa was so sweet with her lines, and singing into the microphone. Teegan didn't speak but he sang some amazing songs about the birth of Jesus. It made me cry.

today...my heart is full

this morning at 4am danny and the girls headed up to santa monica ucla hospital to hand out gifts to the kids there. i will give you more details on that when they get home. so it was just my boy and i this morning, getting ready for school, and he was extra loving and super happy to have me all to himself. it was even more special because i went with him to his happy birthday Jesus party at school. mind you i am in the classroom often. doing your normal room mom, library mom, fun friday mom stuff. teegan doesn't normally acknowledge me as much as his sister does when i am at the school. but today while us moms cooked up a mean brunch of waffles, bacon, sausage, eggs and fruitfor the kids he kept hugging me. and then...and then...he dropped me a note that said i love mom! so sweet..i love that dude. i also got to make these bad boys for the celebration.......

yes, we went to santa monica to play in the snow.

this is a day i look forward to every year. the department puts on this party for the kids. complete with sledding, santa, jumping, yummy food and gifts. santa brought my kids each a gift. then they had a raffle and my kids were lucky enough to each win something. i love seeing christmas through my kids eyes. although i hate to even say it, this might be the last year the twins believe, eeeeek. i really love being a part of smfd.











MORE family photos......

This is Danny's dad and stepmom. Danny has 3 sisters and 2 brothers. I was very scared for this photo shoot. But it went really well. We actually got a great shot of everyone. Can you believe two families in this picture are pregnant with yet another little blessing. Oh my you should HEAR out family gatherings!
