Bear Scout

Dalton had a den meeting last night where he received his bobcat badge and a whittling badge. H worked hard to get his bobcat badge and memorized a bunch of stuff.

He looks so handsome in his uniform!

YITES!!!

Rachel LOVES Christmas lights! She sees them and screams Mimi, Daddy, YITES!!!! She won't stop saying it and grows more intense and louder if you do not respond to her with " Yes, Rachel, I see the pretty lights." It's pretty cute.

Ho Ho Ho!

'Tis the season! This weekend we got ready for Christmas. We went with our friends the Su's to pick out our Christmas tree. We go to this tree farm every year where you get to take a hayride out to the tree fields and cut down your own tree. I was so glad the weather was cold, because it just doesn't feel like Christmas tree shopping weather when its 75 degrees out!

We got the Christmas tree home and pulled out all the Christmas decorations and went to work. We got the tree decorated last night. The kids all(excluding Rachel who we put to bed before the decorating festivities) had so much fun pulling out ornaments and talking about the "history" behind some of them.

We finished getting the rest of the decorations up today and put up some more lights out side the house. We also hung my favorite decoration, our door sign that says Flakes Live Here! Something about Christmas decorations makes the house feel so much cozier. I love the smell of the tree when we come into the house. I can't wait until we have our first fire. Now all we need is some snow! I hope we get some soon, but I'm not holding my breath.

Daddy Daughter Dance

It was that time of year again for the annual Daddy Daughter Dance. The girls LOVE this. It is such a special time to them. I am so thankful I have a husband who is such a great dad and looks forward to these times as much as the kids do.

This was Mallory's first time being able to go. I waited to tell Mallory until Wednesday that the Daddy daughter dance was this weekend. I knew if I told her any sooner than that it would be never-ending questioning about how many more days, when was the dance, what day was the dance! Two days was about all I could handle. She must have said Daddy, Daughter dance 30 times a day(no exaggeration)!

The girls got to choose any restaurant they wanted to go out to eat. They chose this cheap, buffet style, pizza place called Cici's Pizza. At least it wasn't McDonald's! They ate dinner and danced the night away. The girls both looked so beautiful. Both have been talking about about how much fun they had all weekend and how they can't wait until next years dance!
