Serenity’s 14th Golf Par-Tee
Yes, Serenity’s birthday was clear back in November but we just had her birthday celebration the end of December. We decided to go with a mini-golf theme since Serenity wanted to go somewhere that had go-karts, etc. I made these invitations using Printmaster for the letters the green and then I used skewers and foam for the flag and balls. My mom and I laughed so hard watching the kids ride the bumper boats. They were soaked! After an afternoon at the Funtasticks Park, we went back to my sister’s house for a golf themed supper I had prepared. Then the ultimate golf cake was presented by none other than Martha – our own…

Then We Had a 2nd Christmas
After Christmas with my parents, we had a 3 day Christmas get-together with Russell’s family. (We usually spend one Christmas with my family and the following year, we have Christmas with my in-laws but like I said in my last post, things were different this year.) There were 49 of us I believe. My father-in-law, who is 81, is sitting in the chair and is a complete miracle after being ran over by a good Samaritan who was stopping to help him when his vehicle broke down. Orin is the latest addition to the family… and absolutely adorable! And… at the time… the latest couple who is to be wed.…

Our Christmas Tea with Mom
Hey, Hey! What a holiday season it has been! Activities and family… so much going on. While mom was here over the holiday season, we had our “tea” with the china tea set she gave me. A special drink for the non-tea drinkers. We’re not fancy when it comes to having our tea, we just like the thought of having one, but I thought mom looked pretty cute in her borrowed hat. Any kind of hat attire is appropriate at our teas. 🙂 Hmmm, let’s see we had a proper hat but then we also had a pirate hat, a sombrero and some waving mistletoe perched over Serenity’s head. Tea…

A Night on The Town & Some Cute Gingerbread Houses
My hubby and I have had good intentions through the years to take our children out on individual “dates” but we haven’t been consistent in it at all. So we decided since we’re not doing that well taking them out individually, we’ll do it together. What I mean is Russell & I will go together with the child instead of just one of us going. We’ve already gone on 2 dates this month. I could really get into this! I like eating out. 🙂 No cooking, no dishes… Are we on the same page? First we went to Wal-Mart since Audrey wanted to go shopping.:) Shopping she did – all up…

Audrey Turns 6!
Two birthdays at my house this week! Audrey is now… 6 Years Old! She’s so much fun! Just tonight Serenity made some homemade Egg-Nog and Audrey came and said to me, “You want some Egg-Nob?” Some of my favorite things that she said this past year I wrote down and I guess now is the time to share them here on Treasuring the Moments. “Hook ups make you grow.” Singing Amazing Grace… “Amazing Grace How Sweet the Sound That saved a ranch like me.” Then she started singing it “Amazing Grace How Sweet the Sound That saved a wrench like me.” I tried to explain that it wasn’t wrench but she said,…
