The Robnett Zoo

 The museum a few blocks from the house has a BIG Christmas party every year.. "Christmas at the Mansion". his was our first year to go... My wonderful husband only gave me two days notice to find a dress and get everything ready to go.   But the look on my husbands face when he saw me in my pretty new dress made all the rushing around worth it!!!      Two of my best friends went also.. Tonia and Genie. Aren't  they just stunning!!!   I had so much fun with these ladies. I laughed harder then I have in ages.   And it was beyond wonderful to be dressed up and out with Jeff. As much as I love our little ones, I really miss my time with my husband. I forget how funny and charming he can be.

    We loaded up the RV and headed down town to watch the parade.     We almost did not have room for everybody:) But boy was it fun!! I REALLY hate this picture of me. REALLY bad angle. I swear I am not that fat..lol   I swear these two are joined at the hip. They have become the best of friends!!!  Holly's mom, Carol, the sweetest lady ever!   It was a great night!! Love building memories with these awesome people!!

Oliver really has been blessed with the greatest teachers this year!! He REALLY loves them and the love him. He has been going through a lot this year and they have been there for him, creating a environment that he can go to them and talk. For this I am beyond thankful!! It really hit me hard this year how fast my little man is growing up. There will only be two more school Christmas parties before he starts JR. High. ONLY two!!! How can that be?! I love these moments with him. I love all the school parties and functions and that I get to be a part of them. I love being room mom for his class and going to have lunch with him at his school. I love the PTA meetings and teacher meetings. I dread when he is in the upper grades and does not want his mom around (at least at school). So I made the choice over the next two years to be as involved with everything as I can. I want to hold on to all these last moments of him being a little boy.

  A few days before Christmas, Holly, Scott and I loaded up both my truck and her van with our kids and Cathie's two and headed to the Mall with this crew for pictures with Santa. Needless to say.. It was a bit crazy..lol.. But so much fun!         We got there a little after 9am so we could hit up Starbucks and be first in line.     Talking about sweetness overload!! When Santa walked up, both Colt and Lilly ran straight up to Santa and gave him the biggest hugs!   My Christmas wish is to keep them this little and innocent for forever!   How great is this picture?! All the kids on our block. All best friends. The only thing missing is Brenna!  And our four littlest!! LOVE them so very much!
