It was a white Christmas driving up to the Honey House with
all the girls on Friday night. I was thinking that God is good, not only were we to have all the girls together during the Christmas season but it was snowing too.
Nothing like having everyone over for break-fuss, lunch and dinner for several days. You really get close. Sometimes you get silly, sometimes you get crazy. Girls just wanna have fun! Poor dad.
We bought Ashley a ticket to ride up from TUS and we were in business.
Saturday was the family photo. Pink is our signature color, so even Lady wore pink, poor dad.
One of the the highlights was the 12th Night Party. Our Pastor BJ came early to bless us all as we relit the Family Candle! I had a deeply sweet feeling during our blessing time. Everyone brought the most srcuptious food! We are wishing for the recipes!
All the girls were in rare best form. They were the perfect hostesses; gentle ladies filled with grace and charm. Taking coats, getting drinks, smiling and being lovely. ( Warren and I were sooo proud) If only they could be like that all the time. (sigh)
Ashey rocked as my charming co- hostess with the mostess and all the boys had a crush on her cause she's so beautiful. ( well actually we think they enjoyed her witty(smart alec) remarks most of all) Beth entertained them with her stories of Paris and her views on grad school. May oui! oo lala et zoot alors, sacre blue et lipropet!!!
Lauren became the efficent and lovely door greeter, coat taker and food placer! I could
not keep up with her! She even delivered phone messages. Luckily she did not have to miss the birthday party, as later dad drove her over to the spend the night party. Way to go dad! Always driving someone, somewhere.
Jacqueline was the pied pipper of children and fun activities up on the landing filled with toys, cars, care bears and curtains to hide under and drag up and down the stairs and such. It was roudy but the kids had a really good time.
Everyone had a grand ole time. Thank you ladies.
One of the "highs" of the day was the way we all helped each other. Dad and Jaq spent hours on her project, Claire and Beth spent hours on Ashley's project. We went to the mall for Lauren for her project (shopping) and in this way helped Jaq by leaving her alone with dad to have peace and quiet to work. Man, they worked on that project so long! All day I think, thanks dad. Will you teach me how to do an outline too? You are the best dad.We are so good to each other.
Later after present opening we had fun talking about our nicknames.
We have some great nicknames among us. Angel,Princepessa, Sessy and Skwwig. huh? who is that??? We really don't want to call her le cougre do we???? so I thought of Skwwig.
(sweet kool wonderfully wacky inteligent gal.) I will never tell you all the nicknames I had as a kid but some of them have stuck. Uncle Joe always calls me Ida.(get it?)
OK, so if you don't like this one,Skwwig for Jaq, then think of a really good one and you will win the Nickname Project prize! The Prize TBA.
Gunner and Pip say g'nite Angel , Sessy,Princepessa and Skwigg and Lady the pooh. Good nite moon , good night Jon boy! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
