What a merry Christmas...

Kiddos are both happy. Danny's favorite gifts include the roboraptor, and the nerf tommy gun. Riley's favorites include her RC jeep, her digi camera (fisher price) and her fish. Yes. Real.Live. Fish. Daddy decided to buy the bowl, gravel, and food before christmas and then give her a gc to get the fish. She is absolutely in love.
Danny has been chasing army men all over with his raptor, and shooting every thing he can stand up with his nerf tommy gun.
I hope everyone had a merry christmas. Enjoy the new year, and be safe.

Lookie what i made...

I made this for Riles' bus driver, Joann. It opens up and is a mini album. So very easy to make. We are also giving her some chocolates, and an ornament. Danny chose to give his bus driver just some chocolates. He said he didn't want to give him anything homemade, because it is too "girlie". Oh well, I think Mr. Nelson will like chocolates just the same. I am going to throw in some homemade cookies as well.
Happy Holidays,

Christmas Program

Riles' preschool teacher really outdid herself this year. The program was absolutely wonderful, and I am so glad we kept her in Pooh. She has had an amazing experience in preschool, and I hope she has one all through elementary school.
Here are some more pictures from her program. We did not make it to Danny's program due to the weather that night. We got a bunch of snow, and the roads were pretty yucky. I feel bad, but you should have seen danny do the happy dance. It seems the new music teacher hasn't made a great impression on the students. I still inform him to use his manners and be polite.
Here they are

Santa Claus is coming, to town...

He sees you when you're sleeping,

He knows when you're awake.

He knows when you've been bad or good,

So be good for goodness sake!

I think for THIS littlest sheep, it will be mighty difficult to be good!

Happy Holidays!

from,

chris, wendy, danny, riley ( this picture was taken at riles' christmas program. The teachers get the students a present, and they get it from Santa! This year, Riley got a see through put it together frog ,including organs, a stuffed frog, a package of rubber insects, a package of rubber spiders, and some candy. Do they know her or what? Not a girly thing in the package!) Danny informed me this year, I am not sitting on santa's lap. I am entirely too old to do that! (Said to me in his most forceful 10 year old voice.) So, i will try to get him to at least pose by the big snowman at the mall.

I bought a set of actions for Photoshop Elements. It helps make my pictures look much better. These are simple steps I could do on my own, IF i understood this chaotic program. I didn't realize how much better my pictures could look if I just new how..
