LORRAINE'S 13TH ANNUAL SANTA PARTY... My sister has an amazing Santa party every year. Saturday night she held her 13th party. (she has had one every year since Mariah was one).

The girls are a huge help. They fix food and set up for the party. Pam made brownies and cake pops this year. She serves appetizers, deserts and drinks.
I can't believe how big the girls are getting. Mariah is a young lady and Kia is no longer a baby.
Melissa brought her daughter Presley and Mariah loved holding her. Monica and Willy have been waiting forever to adopt from China. In May they were able to adopt a Chinese baby born in Arizona. Her name is Maya.

I was thrilled that Caiti and Stephen attended.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL... The Gregory's invited us to a play at the Broadway Palm Dinner Theater. The girls were so excited.

They dressed up and we arrived early.

The lobby was decorated for the holidays. Kianna loved all the Nutcrackers.

There were tons of trees.

Caeli even took a picture of the adults for me.

The play was an amazing production. We all loved it. Dinner was delicious. Afterwards the children in the cast came into the lobby and the girls got to talk to them.

THANKSGIVING... was wonderful. Dinner was delicious.

The girls looked beautiful and so helpful!

They worked on gingerbread houses

and were very creative until

Caiti, Stephen Madelyn and Caleb came over.

Their houses are beautiful!
