More thoughts from Jaelin...

My mom made 2 pound cakes to send to Maine with us. We have successfully powered through the first one in a day. So we open the second one to start cutting into it....
Jaelin- Oh yes! I didn't know there was another one!
Gayl- Yeah, I made this one Jaelin....do you believe me?
Jaelin- Weeelllllllll, does it taste like Mamal's?

Thoughts from Jaelin...

Jaelin and I went to get haircuts and I decided to try the bang thing again.
Jaelin- Woah, mom! You have bangs!
Me- Yeah, do you like them?
Jaelin- Weeelllllllll....yeah but I don't really like bangs.
Me- But do you like them on me?
Jaelin- Yeah, but I just don't like bangs.

Alrighty then!....

4 days later, Jaelin and her McDonalds doll.....
Eeewwww! She has bangs!!!

Christmas

Where did December go?? I can't believe that another Christmas has come and gone. This one was a good one for us! We had family in town celebrating with us in our new home, and we had a few nice days to actually go down and hang around the beach. The kids were so excited when Nana and Jim walked through the gates at the airport! They had no idea they were coming! It was such a wonderful week!

Lunch on the Harbor at Dewey Destins- What a beautiful day!
