Hannah's halftime show

Tonight Hannah got to perform at the halftime of the local High School's Varsity girls Basketball game. She had gone to a Pom Pon clinic a few weeks back and this was the big show night. It was very cute. We had fun yelling GO HANNAH! and she just LOVES performing. I also tried to show her how cool it was that the girls were so good at basketball and how much fun it looked just to make it fair and open her mind to that possibility as well :) Here she is.....

St Nick's Day

I think because I grew up in a predominantly Catholic community, my family always celebrated St.Nick's day on the night of the 5th of December so on the 6th you wake up and your stocking is filled. Then on Christmas morning, Santa leaves presents, but doesn't fill the stocking because St. Nick already did. I always loved celebrating St. Nicks day because it spread out the Christmas season excitement. So, now I love doing it with my kids. Here was the excitement of our morning.
We asked David what he wanted St. Nick to fill his stocking with last night and he said, "candy canes and a meatball" Ha! So, this morning, I think he was happy even without the meatball. St. Nick always left me some sort of exotic fruit in my stocking, and he has continued that tradition with my kids. David got a pineapple, Joey got a coconut, Hannah got a mini watermelon, and Gracie got a pomegranate. Joey and David got some foam swords to play with, Hannah some Christmas earings and Gracie got a teether and some rice cereal since she doesn't eat candy yet, and in a few months she will eat rice cereal. :) Happy St. NIcks day!!

Gerber Baby

She is so cute! I love her. She is drooling like crazy lately, I have to change her bib every couple of hours because of all the drool. I think teeth are coming....
