Decorating The Tree

Last year the kids told me they would like to have a more traditional tree this year instead of my fancy gold one. For those of you who know me and how much I love my gold tree you know how hard that was. But Christmas including the tree is for the whole family...not just me. So kicking and screaming...LOL... I let go of the control and let them do it. I paced for awhile and then put the hooks on the ornaments while they did the decorating. I was really nervous but it turned out great and we all love it.

No guys...it goes on the tree. It's garland not a winter scarf for three!
The tree is all red, white and silver and they are so proud of themselves!

Kendahls First Date

There is a tradition with the Heffron kids that when they turn 16 they are allowed to date. BUT....they must have their first date with their parent. Brittany and Brandon did it and now it is Kendahl's turn. There was a lot of teasing about Cricket letting Scott go out with a much younger woman but as you can see they sure made a great looking pair.
Her date gave her beautiful roses, took her to a nice restaurant,took her to play air hockey and then out for ice-cream.
He was met at the door by her step-mom and asked all the important questions like...do you have a valid drivers license, proof of insurance and oh yes....what where his grades on his last report card. He opened doors for her, treated her with respect, and had her home on time. I would difinitely let him take her out again but I have a feeling she will be really busy with guys her own age!
