Christmas Corner

Here is our first little Christmas tree. There isn't too much room in the basement for a big tree or a lot of decorations, but the coziness of it all is really nice and of course the fireplace and Grandma's antiques add a nice touch. We are loving the holiday season and are very grateful for all that life has brought and continues to bring. Happy Holidays Everyone!!

Happy Birthday To You!!

Today Kevin is 23 years old!! Happy Birthday babe! Of course he had school and homework to do, but he finished fast and I had work off so we got to have dinner, dessert, and presents here at home with Grandma and Grandpa Thompson.

Kevin has found a new favorite place to eat. He loves the Wing Coop, which is just a few blocks down the street from us. That was his request for his birthday dinner so we ordered a bunch and brought it home to eat with grandma and grandpa. Then it was "cake" and present time. I got Kevin two shirts and a game that he has wanted for a while called FLUXX. He'll have to teach me how to play it.

His real birthday present came a little early though. So about a month ago I surprised him with Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets. It was on Nov. 25th and let me tell you it was an amazing show!! Tons of musical talent and lights!! These are a few pictures from his birthday surprise a month early.
