Missy's Moments

At least they were all kind of looking <3

All 4 of my children were under one roof for Christmas this year. Hope it is a start of new traditions. starting on the left. Kayla, Bobbie (aka mom), Chris (brother), Alissa (Chris’ better half), Eric, Sam, Me, Jordan, Ryan (cousin), Kathleen (aunt). And behind the camera is Rick. All 11 of us enjoyed a great Christmas. Oh let’s not forget these two… Macy aka dufus and Bixby

picture taken back when getting underwear was acceptable….. It’s Christmas Eve today. I do love Christmas but I’ll be honest it’s proven to be a lot of work for me in the past. There’s Christmas cards, getting the right picture for them, mailing them out, baking, decorating (2 trees and way to many snowmen for any one house), shopping, oh the shopping that’s just traumatizing to think about. And then there’s the wrapping. I suck am challenged when it comes to wrapping presents. There’s Christmas dinner- which is worth the work. I make a pretty tasty dinner on Christmas Eve. Some years on Christmas morning I would be waiting for the go gun at the start line to start ripping down the trees in an effort to get order back to my life. Well last year I let the cards go. I am off work for 10 days and decided it’s ok to nap and not kill myself working on a to-do list. I don’t really bake a ton and Christmas time is no time to put my hat in the ring. I just enjoy what others bake...

Christmas Rewind '03 I have to start out by telling you that this Christmas letter has become a bit of a challenge for me. My funny daddy loves to tease my mommy about this letter and every year after my mommy writes the letter daddy then takes it and “edits” it. Or should I just say it how it is. He rewrites it! So this year I’m writing the letter, I’m so cute I could just about get away with anything! Mommy says 2003 has been a good year for us. The house Mommy and Daddy bought while I was in Mommy’s tummy is coming together. Mommy thinks up stuff to do and then Daddy takes a car ride to Menards! My favorite sister Kayla does so many girl things, it’s a good thing Mommy has her. Kayla likes to go to the mall and to movies with her friends, sometimes on the weekends I look for her to give her a kiss good night and she’s too busy doing something called a sleep over. Sleeping is boring enough why would you go do it some where else! Kayla also plays bask...
