Happy New Year!

Brielle making Grandma Willy's sugar cookies.  She is gotten so good at it that she does most of it all by herself.  The boys also helped make the Christmas cookies this year.  They got to choose two things each that they wanted to make.  Daniel's favorite is fudge, Drew's is caramel rolls, Brielle's is sugar cookies, Greg's is the shortbread rolls and  I love the Kuchen. 

The kids visited our very special Santa.  We thought he was going to 'retire' so this was a bonus year with the BEST Santa.  Santa has been our special Santa for many years and it all started when he showed the most beautiful love for Blake.  He took extra time with him, laid his hand on his head and bowed as if in prayer.  It was beautiful cuz Santa is right next to God.  ;) 


We were able to get Grandma out of the nursing home for a few hours for Christmas.  It was great we could all be together.













Brielle got Just Dance Kids- Wii  and she loves dancing and singing along.  She even talked Drew into joining her! 

Brielle has worn her Hello Kitty PJ's most every day since Christmas! (except for when they are in the wash!)

 Brielle was up till 1 am ringing in the new year!
 Dennis made us some AMAZING Lava flows!  A favorite drink from Hawaii.
 Lucy ringing in the new year!
Happy 2011!!!!
