Silver Bells Parade

We did the Silver Bells in downtown Lansing again this year with my office and the float I help make.  Emma, Alex and Hannah went with us and even though it was cold we had a fun time.  This year we got a fog machine in the budget to make it look like the replica fire engine we made was fired up and ready!  Thanks again to my dad for letting us use his trailer!

Olivia wIns the Turkey Basketball shootout!

Tonight we took Olivia to the Steele Elementary Turkey shootout.  She won for the 4th grade girls!  She made 4 out of 10 free throws. Proud of her!

Happy 12th Birthday Emma!

Emma is 12. Wow. Had a fun little party and to prove how much I love her I got her a Green Bay Packer book and another Packer blanket. As a lifelong Bears fan it makes me cringe, but makes for a fun rivalry here. She mainly got clothes, which for a 12 year old is everything! Happy Birthday, Emma, we love you tons!

Emma is student of the month!

Emma was chosen by a teacher to be student of the month!  I am so proud of her for giving her best at school!

Alex and Emma's joint BDay party at the Hoffman's

Tonight we celebrated Emma and Alex's birthday's in Jackson. Kids were crazy! In the middle of our busy birthday season now!

Alex beat Emma to blowing out the candles....

So drastic measures were taken on the redo!

Happy 8th Birthday Alex!!!

Well, my boy is 8!  Had my family over tonight to celebrate, had a fun time. Alex got some cool stuff, an MP3 player, Detroit Tigers dvd's, hats, games, etc.  He also got a Fathead from my dad of a photo I took of him pitching this year. I think it should go in the living room!!

Date Night courtside with the Spartans!

I got to use my company's courtside tickets tonight for the MSU men's basketball teams first exhibition game of the season.  Got to take my bro and his wife, too.  It was a nice night out for all of us!  Those seats are amazing!
