CAN WE GO SEE "SPIRIT?"

Our girls LOVE the movie, "Spirit" and so they beg to go and see the horses.

@ MALL

At the mall with our good friends, the Dardanos. Their son, Pierce, totally has the Tom Cruise look down- what a stud. One of our girls' favorite things to do at the mall is ride the carousel- so, we are $4 poorer for it, but its so worth it (which begs the question- who is the one making some serious bank off those one-minute carousel rides?)

GREAT ANTICIPATION

Christmas is SO much more fun after you have kids. Kate got a new bike (with training wheels) from Santa and Taylor got a crib for her babies.

CHRISTMAS EVE DAY

Thank you to Taylor for being a fantastic model for dad ...

ALL ABOARD!!

Tonight we went with some great friends, the Shumways to "The Polar Express"

ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW! ...

I've never been one to promote any certain political agenda and in fact, although I'm a bit ashamed to admit this, I've never even cast an official vote in my life. But, I received a link to this video and I think you'll agree that it is a must-see for any American- its a refreshing update on how religion fits into the American fabric. The words spoken here are moving and inspiring. Please take the time to watch this and inform yourselves.

Go to mittromney.com and the video pops right up.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER ...

I know this is the lamest post ever, but I just found these pics of Kate and Taylor in all of their Halloween glory! So, since my family asked about it, I will post these for them. Kate was Dorothy and Taylor was officially a lamb, but ocassionally sported this lovely Snow White get-up. And the donuts, well, lets just say it is the Crofts' latest favorite treat and since there is a donut shop on every corner here, this works out great for us. Brian and I did a 9-mile run on this particular morning and then were starving, so we effectively cancelled out our workout after downing at least a dozen donuts between the 4 of us. Yum.

Taylor (aka Snow White) just finished a chocolate-covered donut. You've gotta zoom in on this pic- she looks had and she only ate one! :)

Mommy got fun one day and let the girls finger-paint. They had a blast.
