Make-up Madness

During the holidays I spent a morning with Megan Lee and her friends. We had a make-up party and tried some new looks. It was lots of fun and the girls were great! Thought you might like to see their before and after shots!

Happy New Year 2009

Guess what we found when we woke up this morning? SNOW!! Fortunately, it started to rain and it is mostly gone now.

We had a good New Years Eve. Jana & Gary, Matt, Amanda & Nora and Mark & Debbie joined us for food (way too much!), fun (we played games until 1:30am), and friendship! It was a good ending to a really hard year. The economy is down, we lost a lot of good friends and family this year, and the weather this past two weeks was awful, but when we can spend time with family and friends it helps us to remember that it is people that matter, not things.

May God bless you and yours in this New Year. Let us keep our minds and hearts focused on the real reason for the Christmas season, Jesus.

Blessings!

Monkey fun!

Theo got a barrel of monkeys for Christmas, but guess who found them in the study and decided to take a turn?

Looks like fun to me!

Zoolights 2008

One of my favorite things to do during the Christmas season is to go and visit the Zoolights in Tacoma. The Point Defience Zoo decorates all up with thousands of lights and it is a wonderland to visit. This year was extra special, with all the snow the zoo had been closed since before Christmas. The weather was mild and everyone was able to join in the fun. Penny really enjoyed her very first zoolights, and we all ended the evening with hot chocolate and coffees at Starbucks (that was Memaw and Grandpa Dougs favorite place!)

Whenever we have an outing with the Lewis clan Doug and I alway take pictures of each other taking pictures of each other! I think we are geeks.

Penny had a great time.

Theo wasn't to sure about touching the goats, but Ashley and Deryck loved them!

It is hard to take a picture that does justice to the beauty of all the lights. I always describe it as like being in the middle of a fireworks display without any noise!
