Thanksgiving 2014
It’s Thanksgiving! We gathered over at Steve and Sue’s house, along with Marci, Pete and Julie. Sue had prepared a beautiful meal for us all. The kids amused everyone with their antics (I choose to believe “amused” rather than “annoyed”..!) The kids loved Grandma’s pumpkin tower outside. They each got a special surprise–a personalized ornament! They love having their names on them, and how they light up. Kendall brought over her...
Read MorePirate K, Kiddie Rave
This morning, Kendall was being a pirate–she says “Arrgh! Shiver me timbers!” So cute, especially with her twin ponytails. Brian didn’t have school today, so he stayed home with me. He made a felt farm scene, complete with scarecrow and different vegetables! I wasn’t feeling well, so when I asked if Brian could get his own snack this afternoon, he came down with a clementine artfully placed inside a bowl of fruity Cheerios. That struck me as so funny. 🙂...
Read MoreTuesday
I’m not feeling so great, so, we had Char-Grill for dinner, and let the kids have a picnic on the first floor! They were pretty happy about that. Both of them enjoyed wearing hockey gear and playing some before dinner! Brian made a catapult with a spoon, tape, post-it, and sharpie. Very creative, but, attached to the desk, really?! Sheesh....
Read MoreSkate With The Canes
After the blast Brian had last year doing Skate With The Canes, there was no way we were missing it this year! Another great time was had by all. The ever popular inflatables were there for bouncing and shooting pucks. We got a holiday photo with John-Michael Liles, Jiri Tlusty, Ron Hainsey, and Jeff Skinner. I also took the opportunity to gander at possible Christmas presents for the Little Hurricanes Fans. There is also the tour of the locker room and training facilities. Brian even got in...
Read MoreKendall’s 3rd Birthday!
Today is Kendall’s third birthday! We had her party at home, and decorated the house up with Flower Fairies-themed decorations. Her famous Buttercup Fairy costume from Halloween is one of the Mary Cicely Barker creations that I liked so much when I was a little girl. I’m so glad Kendall likes them, too! We let her wear the costume for her party, since it’s thematic. 😉 We had a beautiful cake from the Cupcake Shoppe again, hand-painted by our favorite designer, featuring...
Read MoreRaleigh Christmas Parade and Cake Pickup
Today we had an opportunity to be in the Raleigh Christmas parade, riding on the Goddard School float! It was a cold one, and we bundled up as best we could, wearing lots of layers. We were towards the back of the parade, and during the lineup we were directly in front of Santa Claus. The kids got to meet him, which was a pretty special treat. Stormy came by as well, also a pretty special treat. Ms. Robin, and Mr. Malay and Mrs. Vineeta were on hand and also helped to keep the kids happy....
