Happy Birthday to me :o)

(Joshua took this pic of me)

I'm finally blogging on my bday. I had a wonderful day. My mom came over in the morning w/ the most beautiful cake I have ever had for my bday, a little snowman plush and a copy of Frosty the Snowman on DVD. (I'm named after Frosty's wife, if you didn't know LOL) Josh made us breakfast and took Joshua shopping to get me something, but came back empty handed. But, that was ok. We went over to the mall and had a late lunch at Red Robin then walked around for a bit. Back home for some cake and just chillin' with the family. Nice, Relaxing... Great!

My Nephew Joseph and his team won the State Title this weekend! It was a very close game that went into double overtime! Although Joseph didn't play in the championship game this year he did play in many of the Varsity and JV games throughout the season and he's only a sophmore! Great job Joseph...Keep working hard! He's #47 in the above picture :o)

Stoney Ridge Farm

We went out to stoney ridge farm yesterday to check out trees and their live nativity. The animals are live, the people are not. I swear I've seen that wise man at JC Penney. LOL
We also enjoyed some hot cocoa and the playground :o)Joshua and Moses the camel (he's real)

Might use this one as our Christmas card this year. Look...Gabe brought his camel w/ him. He wanted to see if their camel would realize that his toy was just like it. LOL
