I said I'd catch you up and I'm getting there! Slowly but still getting there! I have so much to blog about! But first a late Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I can't believe the year is already over. When you have kids time really does fly by! This has really been a wonderful year rich with blessings! I have to Thank God for all that I have. I am so fortunate and so thankful!
Ok so another fast up date. Thanksgiving was wonderful over at my sister Michelle's house! Then my other sister Chelsea (well "in law" so no one gets confused but sister just the same) gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Ellie on Dec. 7th! She is soooooo cute! Congratulations Chelsea and Zach!!!
On Dec. 10th Ryan starred in his school Christmas program as a reindeer! Then on the 18th Derek's class presented Christmas around the world. Complete with Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer in sign language! Then on the 19th Karlie starred in the 3rd grade play, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" She was the Quotation Who and only the Grinch had more lines than her. She memorized all her lines and never messed up once! Needless to say I am a very proud Mommy!
Speaking of proud I am a proud sister too! My sister Michelle graduated from Law School on Dec 20th! What an accomplishment! Way to go Dr. Michelle A. Leffew I am so very proud of you! Keep her in your prayers though, she has the CA state Barr exam coming up very soon. Then we can call her Dr. Michelle Alicia Leffew Esquire!!
We had a Wonderful Christmas celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus! My whole family and some dear friends came over to my house for Christmas dinner! The kids loved all the gifts and hanging out with everyone. My friend Adria taught be how to make Tamales so I gave those out instead of cookies this year. A little tip if anyone ever gives you Tamales know that allot of work, love and time go into making those things!
I am enjoying the days off from school with my kids! I am glad the rain is gone! I am looking forward to this weekend. My Grandma is taking all the Great Grandkids to see "Walking With Dinosaurs" and then the Chargers should beat the Colts in the first playoff game....Go Chargers!!
Ok so Happy New Year!

My Junior Charger Girl!!!!!
Back in November Karlie joined the Junior Charger Girls! She attended 2 practices with all the Charger Girls where she learned 3 dance routines. Then at the Chargers vs. Kansas City game at Qualcomm Stadium she cheered with the Charger Girls and danced at the half time show!!
Here she is in the morning on game day! We had to be there at 7 AM so she could see the field, practice and hang out with the Charger Girls. The game didn't start until 1:15 so it was a long day for her! But she enjoyed every minute of it. The Junior Charger Girls raise money for the Make A Wish foundation and Karlie was very proud of her part in raising money
This is Karlie at the 1st practice
