I AM THIRTY! Holy Cow! I am so very blessed and we have been celebrating for a week. So here is part one.

I took the boys to Carriage Inn today to visit with the elderly and to hand out candy canes. They were so excited and everyone just loved our boys :-) This sweet lady gave us a tour of the entire place. It's huge. There is even a spa there. I know where I will be retiring :-) She was just precious. No greater joy than spending time and visiting with those that don't get visitors very often. We will be going back more often. It was so special!

Lunch at Clay's. We were also celebrating Mrs. Beth's birthday!

Gift Exchange at our house!

We ended up with a home depot gift card and a roaster. Awesome gifts this year and more stealing! LOVE it!

Out to dinner with our friends Shane and Gina (our neighbors from MB) at Perry's here in Katy! We had so much fun, good food and lots of dancing!!!!!

Gina and me about to hit the town!

Decorating gingerbread houses.

Finished house :-)

Simon just loved to chew on his rocking horse.

We made soap creatures!

Fun project!

Tiger Pack meeting. Louis thinks he is one too!

Thomas and his den during their emergency skit. It was so funny! He does an amazing job with these boys!
