Michael looks cute and old fashioned in these pictures some how.

My favorite thing so far...

The Franklin County Extension office put on a shopping event just for kids this past Saturday. It was the cutest thing ever. Everything for sale was priced from 25 cents to $3.00. Parents weren't allowed in the shopping area. Instead, kids were taken around by teenagers with their shopping lists in tow. The girls helped Mallory pay for the things she picked out for Grandaddy and Grandma June, Oma and Opa, Uncle Bud, etc. All items were hand made by these homemaker groups from around the county. It was just so cute. Mallory did great choosing gifts for everyone. Michael sort of just walked around with his little guide and played peek a boo around the columns in the room. There was a parents' waiting area with coffee, muffins, juice, etc. After the kids shopped they got to talk with Santa and Mrs. Claus who had a gift for them. In the brown paper bags were apples, oranges and raisins...old fashioned treats. I loved this event and will go every year that my kids qualify!

Christmastime happenings!

Frankfort has so many wonderful activities for kids at Christmas. Yesterday we went to a local credit union where they had pictures with Santa, entertainment while in line, crafts and refreshments...all free! I sort of drag the kids all over town for these events. I hope they don't have bad memories of Mom hauling them all over the place to get their picture with Santa every year!

We just got back from a wonderful trip to New York. More pix to come!

Family Movie Day

Today we went to our first movie as a family. I have taken the kids to the movies before and Paul and I have been together but we have never been all together. We saw Planet 51 here in NY. It was really cute. Michael just grabbed the big popcorn and took it over. It was hilarious.

Happy Thanksgiving to you!

We took the kids to the Frankfort Candlelight Tour a couple of weeks ago and got their picture taken with Santa, the first one of the kind this Christmas season. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and we wish you all a very happy one and a blessed holiday season!
