Sing. Sing, Sing

Getting Ready!!!

She LOVES it!!

Morgan has now had her first real concert. They stood on risers and everything. Their group is really big. You can't see them all on these videos but believe me...they are all there LOL. On the videos you CAN see Morgan our cousin Jarron and her Friend Roxcy (standing on her right, her brother Keegan's friend Jonah is in front of her).

After Christmas, they will start new songs and Morgan has talked at least two more of her friends into joining. These clips do not to them justice but you can get the idea. They sang about ten songs I think. She had a lot of supporters there and she loved being in front of a crowd :)

Bring A Torch Janette Isabella

I Believe In Santa Claus

The Perfect Christmas Night

This was Morgan's favorite song, you can see by her smile!!!!

It Is Now An Official Christmas Tree

Well we FINALLY decorated our tree. The kids had a lot of fun and were very happy with the outcome. Morgan picked out and helped pay for our new angel. It was a great night.

McKinney's friend Chad came over and helped too. So we had lots of hands :)

I love being with my kids...they bring me so much joy!

Maggie, Morgan & Chey LOVE to poseThese are the ornaments my kids painted this year. We started letting them make their own last year and they loved it. So I decided to keep it up again this year. They did a great job!!

~Ta-Duh~

Oh Christmas Tree...

On Sunday, my Dad and his wife Shauna, took us all out to pick out our Christmas tree. This was the first time that Keegan and Breckyn had ever gone "tree hunting". Morgan had gone once when she was tiny, so she obviously does not remember it. We had so much fun and it brought back so many memories of living in Taylor and yelling "I found one.......oh never mind it is a CEDAR" LOL

The kids (including Chey & Mags) were really excited to ride in the back of the truck.

Here we are, all ready to go :)

This is a small pond that was frozen over....the kids thought that it was so cool and wanted to skate on it ha ha

Keegan said he had the best recliner ever...he just chilled on Chey's lap all the way up the mountain.

Here is Maggie, Chey and Morgan looking for a tree.....they are such good friends :)

B found a tree just right for her (to bad we didn't have enough permits)

Keegan got cold and bored so he took a little rest...I love this picture of him

This is our tree. It only took us about 2 1/2 hours to find it (we are a little picky)

Keeg, B, Morg, Mags, Me & Chey

As you can see, it got soooo cold. Morg doesn't know I took this picture LOL

Chey, Maggie & I rode with the trees on the tailgate. My Dad had a good time pushing on the brakes and hitting every rock. He loved watching us fall, smash each other and hold on for dear life :). Thanks Dad and Shauna for a fun day and for the hot chocolate, doughnuts & cookies.

This is Erin (Chey's friend) also known (lovingly lol) as Mountain Goat.....he was nice enough to come over and help us girls put up the tree....Thanks Erin!
Maggie was in charge of the hedge clippers (not a good idea). She loved them, even using them to cut the wire that they used to tie up a few branches in a bald spot. Here she is, being a reindeer LOL (what a doof)

Well now that it is up......we wait. We will decorate it when we are all together (which is a hard task). Hopefully soon. Morgan picked out and helped buy a new Angel and they have ornaments to paint too. Pictures of that, to follow....stay tuned LOL LOL

All good things must come to an end

LAST SOCCER GAME

This is my baby girl....she ended up loving soccer and was so cute to watch. Her facial expressions are priceless.

Perfect snack to end the season.....HOT CHOCOLATE AND DOUGHNUTS!

This is the 5 Red Stars

Sidney, Sara, Breckyn, Kate & Brooklyn

Chad (Sidney's Dad) helped me coach (THANK GOODNESS)

Here are my soccer stars. They are both very good and love the game. Morgan decided to try out for a competitive league and made the Dixie Strikers FC team. She will start playing in January and basically go year round. I am not sure I am ready for all of that, 2 practices a week plus games and tourneys AND she wants to play softball too. Glad I got a job so I can pay for all this LOL. BUT, as long as she continues to get good grades, do her chores and be respectful as she is doing now....it will be a great reward for her.
