Happy Turkey Day!
We are thankful today of so many things....and I would be remiss if I didn't mention just a few of them.
1) We are thankful for friends and family (always our #1)
2) We are thankful for our health (a very close #2)
3) We are thankful for our home, cars, and heat (it's below zero today!)!
4) We are most thankful for our 2 delightful little girls, who make us smile everyday and remind us to count our blessings every day.
This is what we woke up to on Thanksgiving this year -- Snow...and lots of it! It actually began falling last Sunday (Nov. 21st) and has been snowing on and off ever since. The temps have dipped to -8, with the highs not even reaching 20 degrees! This snow is not going anywhere. Welcome La Nina Winter! : )
Girls Night Out -- at the Spokane Arena to see Disney on Ice!
We couldn't believe the prices of the "stuff" they were selling! I had promised to get the girls some cotton candy (to share, of course!)....typically you expect to pay up to $5 for a small bag.....but not tonight....it was $12!!! It came with a mickey hat, but still, that is insane! The popcorn was $12, snowcones were $15, lemonade was $14, and the lighted spinning toys were $22! Ridiculous. By the way, I stayed true to my word and got the girls the $12 cotton candy...but it was tough!
Grandma bought the girls' tickets tonight.....what a sweet memory for the girls. They just loved the show -- from beginning to end. Thanks Mom! We love you!
Here we are ready for the show! Aunt Kristi somehow got us excellent seats....3rd row back from the ice! The girls loved being so close to the action.
These pictures are small...my friend, Meg Belcher (above on the far right) scanned them in. My oh my, what memories. Kara Hoggan, Kelly Bagley, and Meg must have been at a dance at Odle Junior High. 1982, so we would have been 14 or 15? I remember that dress...my mom made it for me. It was taffeta and I loved it!
1981 or 1982. Miracle Ranch camp -- also known to us at Motorcycle and Horse camp! We stayed 1 week, I think. I need to look up where exactly this was, but it must have been near Seattle somewhere. This is me, Kelley McCaffray and Chrissy (?). 
Me at Miracle Ranch....on a motorcycle! WOW!Well, here is another example of how fast our little girl is growing up. I'm quite certain that her little legs and arms are going to hurt tomorrow because she practiced jump roping for the better part of the afternoon today! She is so much like her sister in that they keep focusing and practicing something until they have it down pat! Very cute.
