Merry Christmas to me!

Some of you may not know, but I am a Type I diabetic. Today I went on the latest and greatest technology available, a continuous glucose monitor (cgm). I am very excited about it taking me to the next level of staying healthy and in good control. Unfortunately insurance does not cover it, so it is my Christmas gift to myself. Actually, it's a Christmas gift to the whole family, because what's good for Momma is good for the whole family:)

Also, if you or someone you know is diabetic, check out tudiabetes.com. It is a fairly new online community (oc) just for diabetics and their families. There is a wealth of information and support on the site. You can click on the tudiabetes banner on the right side of my page to check it out.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Sorry, but this post is for the grandparents who did not get to see their grand-daughters singalong tonight. Enjoy the music videos!

CAUTION!!!

Just wanted to caution everyone in the PNW....it's official now, Kellen is on the road!

A worthy cause

Here's a quick way to make money for Operation Smile. If you're not familiar with the organization, they travel all over the world to do cleft lip/palate repairs for families in need. Although Kaia was repaired here in the states, this organization is very near and dear to us.

Hasbro will donate .25 to Operation Smile (up to $75,000) for everyone who pushes the "oxygen pump" on their website. It takes less than 30 seconds to do, and you can do it once a day; Operation Smile.

Naughty or nice???

Last night Josh called us down to take a look at the girls. Seems they thought it was a slumber party.

O Christmas Tree...

So the Crebbin Family trims the tree early. Mike doesn't have another Saturday off from wrestling until near Christmas, so if we don't do it now, who knows when it would get done. We had Kellen's friend Mikael with us, as he is like family to us too.

Jaelyn was once again scared of Santa, but Kaia loved him. Jaelyn didn't even want to get out of the car, because she knew he was there. We've been going to the same tree farm since Kellen was little, so it is the same Santa in the picture every year. If you look closely at the group Santa picture you can see Jaelyn in the background. We had Mikael walk way behind Santa so that Jaelyn could be in the picture too! It worked:)

We spent the evening decorating the tree. You can't imagine how difficult it is to get everyone in the photo smiling and not being silly at the same time. As you can see, we weren't successful!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had a restful time, and are so Thankful for all the blessings we have.
