Getting Ready for the Holidays

I cannot believe that the holidays are upon us once again! I have been trying to get a good photo for the Christmas card and am having a tiny bit of a tough time. It is a rare thing to get both kids in a great mood at the same time!!! Anyhow, here's one of the hundreds of pictures I've taken so far!

Which reminds me - my address book is packed away so that means I need addresses again! If you would like a card from our family, please email me your address - dmrgirl85@yahoo.com

The kids school was closed today and again tomorrow due to the fires. It is amazing how smokey it is outside. It is tough to breathe. The smoke smell is even worse inside the buildings that don't have great filter systems.

Here are a few pics of the fires. The first one was taken from the kids' school in Brea. The last one was taken as we headed back from the beach - the sky was ominous. The kids had a million questions about fires and how they are stopped. As we drove down the 57 freeway today we could still see hot spots smoldering in the kills. The kids were not scared at all just inquisitive.
