Santa's Favorite

This is a short video of the kids visiting one of our neighbors last night. These people go all out at Christmas. They won "Santa's Favorite" for all of Kingwood, Texas. It takes them five to six weeks to set it all up. Merry Christmas!

Penguin Tower of Treats

My Aunt Pat and Uncle Patrick sent the cutest Penguin Tower of Treats from Wine Country Gift Baskets. It included Ghirardelli peppermint bark, frosted Christmas tree shaped pretzels, peppermint candy, Lindt Lindor milk chocolate truffles and Brown & Haley candy cane roca buttercrunch toffee. YUMMY!!

Jack's Snowman

Jack made this cute snowman at school today.

A Few Snow Pics

Here are a few pictures of what is left of the snow.

SNOW

For the second time, in my ten years here in Houston, it has snowed. Last night our yard was covered, but this morning there are only a few traces. I didn't think to take any pictures. I guess I was over come with the cold, since the high Tuesday was 76. That's Texas winter, what can I say. Bailey just wanted to touch it. I know she and Jack are going to be disappointed that all the snow has already melted away.

Birthday Lunch

Today, my friends, Brenda, Stephanie and Tiffany, took me to Chuy's for my birthday. We had a wonderful meal and great time.

Early Birthday Celebration

Last night, my wonderful husband surprised me with a turtle ice cream cake from Marble Slab Creamery. Christian’s football banquet is on Wednesday, so we celebrated with cake a little early. For as long as I can remember, one of my birthday requests is an ice cream cake. That is what my mom got us as kids and it just isn’t birthday without it. The Bailey and Jack love blowing out the candles. They helped me blow out the single red striped candle. Then each had their own turn. How fun!

In Front of the Tree

Last night was my work Christmas party. Forty of the teachers and staff from the Weekday Learning Center went to Italiano's Restaurant for a wonderful buffet dinner. We had salad, Lasagna, chicken Parmesan, chicken Alfredo, canola and cheese cake. Played a gift exchange game and I got the cutest Santa and Snowman. Before I left, I had Christian snap a picture of me and the kids.

Christmas Lights Set To Music

This is a cool video of Christmas lights set to music. Bailey told Christian that she wanted our house to look like this next year!

The Mom Song

This is a must watch for any mom. This video is too funny! This is Northlands version of "The Mom Song". Everything a Mom says in a 24 hour period, set to the "William Tell Overature" (lyrics by Anita Renfroe)

Jingle Bells

Here is Bailey’s rendition of Jingle Bells!

WLC Christmas Star

Every year the preschool has each class make a yard sign to auction off after the Christmas program. This year we got a large star to decorate to go along with this year’s “SHINE” theme. I painted a large gingerbread house on the T-TH Bears and then had each child pose for a picture. Here is my picture with the star!

Get The Sillies Out

We gotta jump, shake, shimmy them out ...

Here is a short clip of Jack dancing with the Yo Gabba Gabba song - Get The Sillies Out.

December 08 Picture of the Month

December is here and Jack and Bailey have already told Santa what they would like him to bring. Bailey wants a Chihuahua and Jack wants toys. What a wonderful time of year!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at the Barger's place. Today, Christian, Bailey, Jack and I started decorating the house. This is my favorite time of the year!

Here's wishing you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Turkey, ham, stuffing, sweet potatoe soufflé, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, roles, pecan pie and apple pie was all on the menu. Bailey said the blessing before the noon meal. Bob and Esther came down for a wonderful meal and to watch some football. The Barger's have lots to be thankful for and had a wonderful Turkey Day!

Look at our Turkeys

Bailey made this turkey drawing this year in her kindergarten class.
Jack made this cute turkey last year!

My Little Indians

Bailey has been hard at work making an Indian vest, feather headdress, colored pasta necklace, dream catcher and shaker. Here she is modeling her attire.

Jack takes his turn with the Indian outfit.

Turkey Cookie for the Teacher

These cute turkeys are so simple and the teachers just loved them. I cut five feathers from construction paper, one head, two hearts, & an orange triangle for the beak. I taped them together & put a label on the back with Thanksgiving wishes from our family.
