2015 Christmas at West End

We started off the Holiday Season in style -  Breakfast with Santa on Saturday followed by the annual West End Christmas play.

The Children performed two songs and then the Bender Boys did a great job with Little Drummer Boy! 

Wedding Day

Clint and Leeann Neel

Yesterday morning, my childhood friend Leeann got married. It was a beautiful ceremony and the reception, a breakfast brunch, was different, unique, and delicious.

It was so nice to celebrate with Leeann who I haven't seen in 7 years. Also, the morning served as a mini reunion as I reconnected with several other high school classmates.

CMA Award Show

A friend from church texted me late Monday night to see if I would be interested in CMA tickets. I didn't hesitate with my response - Yes!

She was able to get three tickets for Susan, Emily, and me. Susan wasn't able to get a sitter so Emily's friend Sarah took her place at the Country Music party. It was a lot of fun to get dressed up and go downtown! And seeing the stars perform was pretty awesome too!

Carrie Underwood 

Justin Timberlake - His performance was amazing!

Elizabeth

Now, I recognize that I am probably an impartial judge BUT...have you ever seen a more beautiful almost 3 year old?

You can put a dress on a girl but you can't get her out of the dirt! 

Princess Elizabeth  (aka Cinderella)

The Calendar - by Philip

This weekend, Philip was talking to us about dates in October.

He said:
"After the twentieth, is the Twenty-Oneth and then the Twenty Twoth."

Hair Cut Day

I was watching Leighton today for Emily and she came along as I took Elizabeth to get her haircut. Emily said Leighton could get one too so I enlisted some help from Mimi and we took the girls to the "beauty parlor"

Elizabeth arrived in her Halloween costume and camping headlight!
She cracks me up!

Beautiful Girls! 

 After Mimi left, I took the girls to Panda Express for lunch - it was an adventure!
