November 2007

 I took my children to donate canned goods to the less fortunate.  Afterward, we watched a Christmas concert and got to see "snow."  It was fake, but everyone had fun.  It was definitely, something special I wanted my children to experience by giving and also to see a Christmas concert.  I wanted them to be around the joy of Christmas, and it was definitely a joyous evening.  I love my kids so very much.

Christmas Pictures 2011

Sienna and Me

Kalib and Me

Me and Chris

All of us, this would be the winner for the christmas cards I'm mailing out.

Our Christmas pictures for 2011 came out great.  It took numerous tries because the kids kept making faces or weren't looking at the camera, but we finally got great photos.  

Santa Looks Different

I was caught off guard, and almost caught.

While organizing pics by theme (holidays, vacation, school pics, etc) I came across 2 Santa pictures (one from 2008 and the other from 2009) with my youngest son, Christopher, sitting on Santa's lap.  He wanted to see and so I showed him, and he asks, "Why does Santa look so much younger in this pic?" 

I was usure how to answer and responded with, "Good question.  Go ask Dad."

And then his dad said, "Yeah, Santa looks different every time I see him, too. When I was a kid he was Black."

Christopher said, "That's weird."
