Christmas Cheer

Posted by Eric, Tara, Benjamin and Tarini | Posted in

Every year we always make several trips to Fire Station #20 and enjoy the light show. A few years ago, the firefighters of the station decided that instead of buying each other gifts, they would use the money to purchase lights and equipment for a light show. It has grown over the years as they add more lights, songs and displays. We love it and wouldn't miss it, as does much of our community.

It was so amazing to see the wonderment in Benjamin and Tarini's eyes as they watched the show this past weekend. Tarini was especially excited as this was her first time and she absolutely loves Christmas lights.

The station has several of the songs in the show on their website.










This and That

Go Colts!!!
Benjamin and Tarini enjoyed a little Sunday afternoon football with Daddy. It was a great game and Peyton and the boys sent the Bengals home with their tails tucked.



She sure loves to pose. :)

Snow White and Tinker Bell


Beauty

...and the beast


The girls wanted to wear this outfit from India but I wasn't sure it would fit either of them. Eric brought it back from India in 2005 for Avy when she was 1 1/2. But, they both managed to get into it and had a blast posing.




Happy Anniversary Eric!

Thank you for an incredible 15 years together and 12 years of marriage. I am so lucky that we found each other; the serendipity of it amazes me. You are a wonderful husband and father and my true north.

I truly am the luckiest. I love you.

Ben Folds ~ The Luckiest

I don't get many things right the first time

In fact, I am told that a lot

Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls

Brought me here

And where was I before the day

That I first saw your lovely face?

Now I see it everyday

And I know

That I am

I am

I am

The luckiest



What if I'd been born fifty years before you

In a house on a street where you lived?

Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike

Would I know?

And in a wide sea of eyes

I see one pair that I recognize

And I know

That I am

I am

I am

The luckiest



I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you

Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties

And one day passed away in his sleep

And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days

And passed away

I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong

That I know

That I am

I am

I am

The luckiest

We've been elfed!

Happy Thanksgiving!




We had a lovely day at my sister's house; we enjoyed the company of friends and family and delicious food. It was especially meaningful to have our daughter home for this holiday.
We are so very thankful for our children and the family that God has blessed us with.

The festivities started on Sunday with a party, presents and ice cream cake. Continued with an array of fruit with Benjamin's friends at school on Monday. And the grand finale was dinner for four at our favorite Mexican restaurant.

So a Russian and an Indian walk into a Mexican restaurant...

"I love queso!"


"Yuck, queso!!" or "I much prefer salsa to queso."

Aren't they cute !?!
