Nutterbutter Reindeer Cookies

Maximus, Maci & buddy Jon had so much fun making these yummy cookies for school!! They did an excellent job. Jon & his sister Alyssa were over late while Mark & Amy were partying it up at a Brigade Ball last night!!

Maci was laughing as she put on two red noses. She is a funny funny kid!!

This HUGE fella has been hanging out on our roof!

Ok, so I think he might think we are a snack & he's waiting to swoop down & eat us!! YIKES!!!

My lil Texan baby

So Maci must still have a lot of Texas in her blood because when she woke up & realized Marlena & Maximus were outside shovling snow, she ran upstairs & got dressed to go outside to shovel & play in the snow too!!

Maximus & his friend Julia!!

Vera, Julia's mom had to work late so Julia & her older sister Lucy came to our house after school last Friday. Lucy is in 6th grade & a good friend of Marlena's & Julia is in Maximus's first grade class this year & has a little crush on my lil man. They were in the same Kindergarten class last year together & I met Julia the first time on a field trip when she wanted to hold Maximus's hand. She is so super sweet.

Julia was reading to Maximus, she is an amazing reader!!

At the DFAC Thanksgiving!!

A day in the Life of Maci

Maci loves playing the Littlest Pet Shop plug in game!! Marlena created her a Mia Mae dog & Maci takes the dog on adventures all over the little town. It's so fun!!

"PEAS, I wok Mia outide!!" Mind you it was 30 degrees & she didn't want pants on.

Maci throwing a classic Maci Grace tantrum: "I want GUM".

Let me think........."NOPE"!!!

Pictures from Scott

Scott sent me some fun pictures, I love this one of the guys relaxing & the big ole Santa on the motorcycle in the background. Scott told me the SF unit nearby just gave them a few dirt bikes that didn't work. Leave it to the Bandits to fix them up & use them around the FOB. I was impressed to hear my man worked on them too by fixing up a carburetor!!

Drinking some Chi in the Heat!

Eating a fine meal at Sheik Ma Ads house with LTC Benson.

Scott's Thanksgivings in Iraq!!

There was a total of 60lbs of peeled potatoes & my hubby peeled about 45lbs of it!! WOO HOO!! He & a few other officers did KP the day of Thanksgiving so no one else would get stuck in the kitchen the whole day! As you can see in the picture Scott put on his clear protective glasses because the potato juice was getting in his eyes! LOL

December 3rd "Scrooge" A Carol with an Attitude

I was so excited to take Marlena & Maximus to see Scrooge. The show was at 7 pm on a Wednesday evening so Maci stayed with Heather. Maximus fell asleep on the way there & was cranky until the play/musical began. Marlena loved the show & was even more excited that her best friend Alex was there & came & sat with us!! Sheri came with & shared in our excitement as we kicked off our holiday season!!
