Christmas Week 2008

This year the girls didn’t have school the week of Christmas, so we went to the zoo, the gigantic Christmas Tree in Delray Beach, The Nutcracker, Christmas Eve Childrens mass, and the circus.

Skylar’s Birthday

This year Skylar’s birthday party was a fashion show at our house.  Lynn, Kelly, and Illiana did the hair, makeup, and nails.  The girls dressed up & strutted their stuff on the catwalk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Half Marathon

Finished the West Palm Beach half marathon this year in 2hours and 3minutes.  Done until next year

Thanksgiving 2008

 

Every Thanksgiving Morning Skylar and I race for Apple Pies—there’s not a whole lot that will make me run faster than an apple pie.  The top 700 out of 1200 received pies this year—4miles & then one less thing I have to bake for Thanksgiving dinner!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This year we had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at our house & the margarita’s were great also

Here is a picture of Sky & Ella painting their nails while I was cooking, and Skylar & Connor relaxing on the swing after dinner.
