{HCA Homecoming}

Last weekend was our schools homecoming. The kids participated in spirit week, and even decorated fun hats to wear to the varsity basketball game. We had fun supporting our school and watching our girls hang out with their friends! :)

Emma and her...."friends that are boys!!" :)

Emma and her friend Ashley

The score was close all night...which made the excitement in the gym so much fun!!!

Madison and her friend Maggie :)

Heritage did walk away with the win!!!! All the students (even the little ones) celebrated on the court! :)

And Phil bought the girls new HCA t-shirts!! :)

We had so much fun showing our school spirit and spending time with our HCA community. We LOVE our school!!! :)

Theo...

We had a special visitor this Christmas season.

One night, a special box was left on our doorstep. Inside was the story of the Elf on the Shelf! :)

The girls were immediately in love with the whole story and idea. I don't think they really believe in Santa...but they still want to! So we had fun with it this year!!

They named their elf Theo (after Theo in the Cosby Show :)

Basically Theo reports back to Santa every night and comes back in the wee hours of the morning and is in a different spot every time.

Of course our elf was a little mischievous... ;)

Here are just a few of the fun things we found him doing every morning!

Needless to say... I had no problems getting the girls out of bed this past month! :)

LegoLand

These pictures are a little over due...but still fun!

At the beginning of December we went to Schaumburg Ill with my family. Phil and I took the girls to LegoLand. We ALL loved it! Lots of amazing things made out of Legos!!

Radabaugh Christmas

We celebrated Christmas a few days early with my family. Usually we get together the evening of Christmas Day. But because we were heading to Shipshewana on Sunday, we celebrated on Friday night. The girls loved having a early Christmas.

Christmas Eve at GG's

Our traditional Christmas Eve at GG's (Great Grandma's) :)

It was so fun having an extra kiddo "crawling" around this year!

Cohen's outfit didn't disappoint...he totally rocked the bow-tie

My Uncle Jerry bought Emma a very special gift this year!

It is well known around our family that we are Packer Fans...The rest of our family is not!!

This past Thanksgiving Emma wore her pink Packers jersey to dinner with my family.

This obviously didn't go unnoticed by the Lions fans in the room! :)

Emma opened up her special box to find her very own Lions T-Shirt!!

She thought it was SO funny!

Phil told her she could be a Lions fan as long as they weren't playing the Packers! :)

Seriously... I think I have THE cutest nephew ever!! :)

Ohh..the two girlies aren't too bad either! :)

Kilian Christmas

Our annual trip to Shipshewana for Kilian Christmas!

The 6 cousins still play so well together. I love watching them all together.

This year we even played a few organized games. Kids vs. Adults... There were a few intense games of Dodge Ball, Spud & Swim Fishy Swim. The kids whooped us! :)

The Candy Store...always a favorite stop

and of course...swimming

(or in our case, wrestling Uncle Jason)

Always a memorable trip!!

It's the Most Wonderful TIme of the Year....

Our girls look forward to this time of the year!! It's time for mail...lots of mail. We love seeing pictures of our friends and family, near or far. Who doesn't love a Christmas card that highlights favorite pictures from the past year?

I LOVE Tinyprints!!! Our love affair started last Christmas. I used Tinyprints to make our 2010 Christmas cards...and they turned out amazing!!! :) I am SO excited to start the process for 2011...although I have to admit, it takes me forever to choose the “ONE” because there are so many great holiday cards to choose from!!

When I heard about all there great promotions...it made the process even more exciting!!! :) What’s more exciting than CUTE & ON SALE??? :)

Take a peek at a few of my favorite templates. BTW: Tinyprints makes it so easy to create the perfect card!! Give it a try today!!

I like the color's in this multi-picture card:

This card showcases just one picture!

I love the rainbow colors...but I might not be able to narrow all my pics down

to just one!! :)

I'm not sure if these are new this year or not...But I love the idea!!!

Choices...Choices!!! For all of you who know me well...this isn't going to be an easy task :)

I hope you check out all the cuteness that makes up Tinyprints. I'm sure you'll fall in love with at least one, two or ten of their Holiday cards! :) Good Luck!!
