Paige's Ornament

Paige made an ornament at school. One side is "Naughty"and one side is "Nice".

Brunch and Wii-ing some more

Roger, Ellen, Alyse, Charles and Ella came over for brunch today and to try out the Wii. I think everyone had a good time playing.

Josh helping Ella play with Paige. Ella always wins no matter what place she's in. In this video they are snowboarding.

Alyse and Chuck playing. Alyse is concentrating really hard!

Hohensee Christmas

The Hohensee Family Christmas was yesterday. We enjoyed lunch, bingo and even a few games of cards. It's always great for everyone to be able to get together for the holidays.



Paige-patiently waiting for Bingo to start


Rog and Uncle Charlie-the Bingo boycotters!

Paige and Ella decided to help call Bingo numbers

Abby, Josh and Sarah. These cousins sure do love each other!

Wii-ing

Paige got a Wii for X-mas, but who do you think is having more fun?

Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas from the Hohensee Family!

Getting ready to open presents...can't you just feel the excitement?

This is a typical present under our tree. Josh buys for himself and then wants me to wrap it.


Showing some love

Trying to get a good picture of these two is impossible!

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!!

Whoo Hoo! Matching shovels! Paige was actually very excited about getting her own scoop shovel just like dad's. I did not pick these out, by the way.

The decoy present. He can tell what any present is just from the shape of the box, so I hid his DVD inside his own race shirt. Actually fooled him this year.

Getting the Step-brothers DVD



Paige wanted a Snuggie for X-mas. www.getsnuggie.com The child is OBSESSED with infomercials. She can see one once and remember it verbatim.

Santa got her a bathrobe instead!

Christmas Concert #2

Paige had her 2nd Christmas concert tonight. This one for the Catholic School. It was an awesome concert. The kids really got into it. Especially Paige. She was loud and proud!

Getting haircut before the concert.

All decked out




Below is a video of her favorite song...Celebrate!

Feliz Navidad

Paige singing along with a Christmas CD. It is her favorite song and even though she doesn't know all the words (or what Feliz Navidad means) that does not stop her from singing it......ALL THE TIME.

Sprinkles, Round 2

Paige and I made almond bark dipped pretzels today. Of couse, they HAD to have sprinkles.

Christmas Cookies

Since we had a snow day today, Paige and I baked and decorated Christmas cookies. The pictures below are a little out of order.

And if you'll notice, she's wearing the same pj's she wore to her X-mas concert. They're "Christmasy"so she thinks she needs to wear them everyday until Christmas.


Cutting out a Christmas Tree

Mmm Mmm Good!

I know, they're just beautiful.

She is so proud of her cookies.

Decorating the cookies

She really like the sprinkles

Notice the frosting on the forehead?

Cookies, check....Frosting, check...Sprinkles, check

Like the cover of a magazine

Her favorite cookie....she already ate it!

Christmas Conccert #1

Paige had her first Christmas concert today at the Elementary school. She was one of "Santa's Sleepyheads" and had to wear her pajamas and slippers.

Singing her little heart out. The Kindergarten sang I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause and Jingle, Jingle Little Bells. They also sang a couple songs with all the other classes.

Dan, Grandpa, Grandma and Cameron enjoying the show. Grandma saw the camera and ducked out of the way.

Wrestling Practice #2

Paige was very excited when another girl showed up at practice. They partnered up right away and learned all about take-downs.
