The 25 Days of Christmas Countdown

This year I want to try to make a 25 days of Christmas scrapbook.
I think I will start tonight by watching my favorite of all time Christmas Movie.
Each and Every time I watch it I laugh harder.

So my countdown is starting.

Got Chalk????/

Well we spent our Saturday at a gymnastic meet in Whitewater this past Saturday. We ended up being there 10 1/2 hours. Both Jenna and Samantha competed, but just at different times. We went out to breakfast at a little cafe in between the girls competition's. We are so proud of both girls.

Jenna didn't have her best meet, but she tried her hardest and did her best for the day. At her level they all get a participation metal. She loves it.

Samantha came in 2nd in each event and ended up taking the first place overall for her age. She was flying on cloud nine. You couldn't wipe the smile off of her face.

Halloween and the Annual Chili Dump

1997 Julia Samantha and Jake



2009







When I think of Halloween I think of the annual Neighborhood Chili Dump. This is a time for all of us 7 neighbors to come together and celebrate.
We celebrated our 13th Annual or Maybe it was 14th Annual, I am not sure. I can totally remember the very first one. Samantha was about 6 months old. She was the second oldest out of 5. They all sat on the couch most of the kids were proped up by eachother because they were so small.
I found a picture of the 2nd Annual event. My how the kids have grown.
