Great Quote

I think this quote will be my new year's resolution.

Coming together is a beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.
-Henry Ford

Christmas Greetings

At Christmas time our hearts reach out to friends we think of dearly,
And checking through our friendship lists, as all of us do yearly,
We stop awhile to reminiscence and pleasantly review,
Special talks, happy times and things we used to do.
And though we've been to busy to keep in touch all year,
We send a Christmas greeting at this season of good cheer.
So Christmas is a lovely link between old years and new,
That keeps the fond of friendship forever unbroken and true.
Poem By: Helen Steiner Rice

Merry Christmas to all of our blog readers!

Who is that Santa?

If you look at the eyes, you might be able to tell who Santa Claus is. If you can't figure it out, I will tell you anyway, It is Darin. Darin was asked to be the Santa Claus at the Elementary School Concert and he agreed to have kids sit on his lap for about an hour after the concert as a proxy for the real Santa Claus. I think he had a pretty fun time doing it. We decided not to take Abigail because I didn't want her to be confused, but the twins could care less. How funny!

We've been good girls. We promise!

Santa Claus Came To Rockland on A Fire Truck to visit all of the good little girls and good little boys and Abigail wanted to make sure that he knew that she has been really good this year.

Peek-A-Boo With Elizabeth

Elizabeth loves to play peek-a-boo! She thinks I can't see her when she hides. What a silly girl.

Abigail is a high energy 10 year old. She is Fifth grade for the 2014-2015 school year and she is very much a people person. She loves swimming, shopping, crafts and cooking, but her most favorite thing is dance. She has also really been working hard on her tumbling over the past year or so. Abigail loves playing the piano and singing as well. Abigail has developed an interest in pageants, we will have to see where that interest takes her in the future. She is a bit of a neat freak, really good at doing household chores, and is VERY Squemish. Abigail is the best big sister and is a great example to her three younger siblings

Emily is 7 now and loves to play with her sisters and other kids. She is in first grade for the 2014-2015 school-year. She is confident, outgoing, and likes to be in charge. She is very sweet and loving and fun to talk to. She can be pretty silly at times and when she starts giggling there is no stopping her. She loves to talk and makes our hearts melt when she looks at us with those big hazel eyes. Emily is a people-pleaser and loves compliments. She has really grown to love dance and cheerleading this past year and it is very apparent that Abigail is her role model. Emily is our resident girly girl; she loves everything pink, glittery, and posh! She loves to help out around the house and thrives on praise. She is a good girl and we love her very much.

Elizabeth is 7 as well. She is full of charisma and is very spunky. Sugar and Spice is what makes up Elizabeth's personality. She is a great snuggler and cuddler, but has a mischievous streak and you can tell when she is up to something by the twinkle in her eye. She is sometimes cautious and unsure about herself, but a very deep thinker. She has an analytic brain and is our resident tom boy. She loves jeans, t-shirts, baseball caps, and monster trucks. Her favorite pass time is spent playing soccer or basketball. She has also started gymnastics this year and she is a natural. She is very strong for her size and extremely coordinated. She loves to give hugs and kisses, but if you cross her, you may regret it. Elizabeth never hesitates to express herself when it comes to people she feels comfortable with. Elizabeth loves to laugh and has a great sense of humor. She is pretty darn funny. She can make almost anything turn into a joke.
