Aylexie made it on the honor roll again this year! We are so proud of her-she’s a busy girl, but finds time to prioritize and work hard! Way to go, Aylexie!

12-30-10 ICE SKATING
Jeff and I thought it would be fun to take the kids ice skating. It’s been a VERY long time since I’ve been ice skating…I don’t think I like it very much, neither did Ashley & Aylexie. Thomas and Jeff thought it was GREAT!
Notice how Ashley & Aylexie are hugging the wall?!
He’s a pro!
12-25-10 CHRISTMAS DAY!!!
Christmas day was FINALLY here! Ashley, Aylexie & Thomas could hardly wait! I must admit, I was a bit antsy too :)
Zulla even got a treat from Santa!
Looks like Santa left someone a new driver…
Thomas and Jeff got helicopters…endless hours of fun!
Mom got a new camera!
Grandma Pedigo scored big time with this gift…the girls LOVE this Wii game!
Later that day at Mom & Dad’s party…

11-28-10 THANKSGIVING FEAST FOR LEFTOVERS!!!
The beauty of having a huge Thanksgiving dinner in my mind is the leftovers…whenever we go visit family in Everett, we always come home and I make our own feast so we can enjoy the leftovers until we are sick of them! Plus, I absolutely LOVE to cook and think I'm really good at roasting a turkey-compliments of Martha Stewart Living magazine!
If you’re going to have a feast, it should be in a properly set dining room! My kids really look forward to eating at the dining room table!
This picture speaks for itself…YUMMY!
Another must have…pretzel jello salad-I know it sounds gross, but it is SO good!
What feast would be complete without homemade rolls? Plus-these babies make excellent turkey/cranberry sandwiches for leftovers!
I didn’t get a real good photo of the finished meal-maybe next year! But, after all the hard work, when the deliciousness registers in your mouth, it is oh-so-worth every bit of planning and effort! I absolutely LOVE Thanksgiving!
12-24-10 CHRISTMAS EVE
The boys had some last minute shopping to do, so we decided to go get manicures!
Ashley’s nails…
Aylexie’s nails…
Here are pictures of one of our Christmas Eve traditions-opening pajamas!
12-20-10 PIANO RECITAL
This was my final piano recital. I have been teaching for a long time and it was interfering with my kids sports/activities in the afternoon. I will always love music and my students will always have a special place in my heart. Luckily, I found an excellent teacher for my girls! They love Sister Baardson!
12-18-10 NUTCRACKER
Aylexie danced in The Nutcracker this year. I got the opportunity to alter all the costumes and work back stage with her. It’s fun to see what goes on behind the scenes…
