This is my car outside from last night to this morning. The Holiday Blizzard of 2006! 25 inches in Erie!

Manny & Paul were just relaxing and enjoying the party when we cranked it up a notch and introduced.....KARAOKE!




Isaiah was singing his version of I'm too sexy!




Chuck really belted it out complete with actions and all!

What a great party!

Here are some of my favorite shots of the night!

This last weekend we had a Christmas party and it was a blast! Here are some pictures of our neighbors and friends.

Heidi, Crystal and Dione

Lance, Chuck and Jim

Meghan & Ali
Alissa, myself, Becky and Kelly

Christmas picture time and don't they look great! Maybe it is a little too matchy, but I couldn't resist. Avery likes her outfit so much that this morning she put it on over her pj's and wore it around all morning. Zach looks so big too. He has grown an inch at least since his birthday in September. I can hardly believe another year is passing! WOW!

Alissa hosted a gingerbread tree decorating date at her house for some of the neighborhood kids. They all had a fun time even though they made a disaster to clean up.

Look at this progress! This is the tv room with the guest room in the bachground.

Here is Isaiah working in the bathroom.

And this is the other side of the tv room with the bathroom in the background!

Pretty cool huh!

Andrew & Zach are cutting concrete in order to have some plumbing reworked.
Once the concrete was broken out Zach helped to fill the trash with concrete.






Andrew and my dad then took all of the concrete
and hauled it to the front of the house so that we
could take it to the dump.

















Even though there was a lot of working going on Pappy always has time for his granddaughter!!!

What a Happy Thanksgiving we had! Josiah flew in from El Paso and my Aunt Joan and Cousin Lisa came up from Denver. It was the first Thanksgiving we had had together in 3 years. We were so thankful!

This is our basement before. Not really much
too it. Just a bare and empty space.






Once we had all that wood delivered though...
wait till you see the progress...

My mom joined our book club and came to our meeting in November and December. We read, We are all the Same. We all received bookmarks and a (RED) pin.



Avery's hair is finally getting to the point where we can kind of pin it up in a barrette...that is until you tell her she looks pretty at which point she promptly pulls it out of her hair. She looks so big with her hair up, doesn't she?

We went to take the Celestial Seasonings tour

in Boulder. Before you can enter the plant hair-

nets for everyone. Don't they look great!

With family in town for the last month I haven't even posted on my blog. You will get mostly pictures for last months review so I hope you enjoy! It was great having my parents here to share Thanksgiving and just having them be apart of our everyday lives. Zach and Avery loved it too. With Avery learning how to talk she easily says Pappy or Poppy. The basement is coming along great with much thanks to my dad. He worked so hard and it really shows! My mom and I had a nice time as well and I was so happy to introduce her to my friends. They all loved her. We loved having them here and are looking forward to their return for the baby.
