I forgot my coat, so my sweet friend Marci shared hers and kept me warm. :)

Mary, Lexi and Morgan...

After the hayride, we did a white elephant gift exchange....it was too funny. :)


Umm....LOL???

Looks like Cody got some scarves.

Which of course, calls for the song.....

"Matchmaker, matchmaker make me a match, find me a find, catch me a catch....." :)

Ooh...Marci got a purse organizer...

Haha, doll house accessories! Just what Heidi has always wanted, I'm sure. ;)

watch out...I'm dangerous with those things....

a "Scuba Diving Santa Kit"

Aw, ain't that cute! Daniel got his galloping pony with a purple bow! ;)

Lookie there! Adam got a blouse! Too bad he forgot to try the heels and bracelet on.... ;)

Oh and I got a lovely "fanny pack"! ;)
Actually, it was a thing for the visor in your car....you can put your cell phone, mp3, and other things in there.....nice little gadget actually!

Christmas Day...
Before the tornado hit...


Lea gave Marianna a VW bug as one of her gifts. :)

Isn't that cute?! Lea (the chipmunk) is driving, and Marianna (the penguin) is in the passenger seat.

Aha! What a GREAT picture!! Marianna had a mustache! bwahaha.ha.ha.



Hehe...we were going frugal this year...
