Santa visit

So... visiting Santa wasn't as much fun for me this year! First, I needed to make a reservation (and pay around ($40!) for the visit and a digital photo.  I did not realize it meant no actual pictures presented to me unless I wanted to spend another $20 for 2 5x7's or 1 8x10.  Holy cow, rip off!  That's besides the point - just a bit expensive if you ask me!

As we were waiting for our turn with Santa I was taking some pictures with the 'set' as I have every.other.year!  Guess what?  Santa yelled at me and told me I wasn't allowed to take pictures with anything on the set.  What?!  Seriously... he told me "It's not Santa's rules, it is the company's rules."  That made me pretty annoyed!!  I was spending a lot of money to see Santa for 2 minutes and I can't take pictures of my kiddos on 'the set'... I understand not of the kids with Santa on my personal device, but just of the set.  yiyiyi... what is this world coming to?!

I got a picture 'on the set'

Here are my pictures from the 'back of the set'

And here are my digital photos...

Xmas tree hunt

Happy tree hunting day!  

Here we are finding our perfect tree!

These trees were growing really weird!

Found the perfect Lee Family tree!

RJ was very excited to decorate this year!  

He can't wait for Sweetie to arrive!

Thanksgiving Game & Food

Thanksgiving Football Game - away at Pennridge

AND we won!!  By a landslide!  Whoot-whoot!! 

Even better... it wasn't too cold this morning!

Then Daddy made supper for us and his dad.

My supper plate - helping one

Have to end with a warm blanket and some yummy dessert!

RJ rocked his grades!

 Congrats buddy!  Nice job!

Marking Period 1 - Honor Roll!

Mardi Gras Parade

Mardi Gras Parade in Lansdale!  We sat with the Neumann clan again.  We walked by Bobby and Nikki so RJ chose to sit with them for the parade so he is not pictured, haha.  Fun to watch as always... less giveaways than usual but so glad the parade was up and running again!

Puppies & kiddos

 How many photos does it take to get a good shot of puppies and kiddos?

Morgan’s 15th bday!

Morgan turned 15 today.  How is this possible?  Where has the time gone?  Morgan never ceases to amaze me!  She is growing up into such an amazing young lady!  Morgan, you are beautiful inside and outside!  Never stop sharing your personality!  Taking all honors and AP classes, participating in Marching Band now and soon beginning Swim Team for the high school and then planning on participating in track in the Spring.  Wow!  Momma loves being the Uber, but wait, where do I pick you up and when? lol.  All these activities with keeping all A's and B's in her challenging classes! Although she spends more time in her bedroom 'doing homework' (or as I have noticed watching Netflix or playing on her phone) she still graces us with her attention and presence at least once a day!  :)  She continues to share important information with us and trusts us when she needs us!  Time flies and I'm treasuring every moment I have with her!  

Happy Birthday sweet girl!  Keep being you!

First Homecoming Dance!

How is this even possible?  Morgan is going to her first high school dance.  So fancy and so pretty!  So glad she was able to go with good friends and she shared she had a blast!
