"Chicken Lauren"

The girls call her "Chicken Lauren" and she graduated from the Marines Officer Candidate School last Friday.  She was Platoon Commander and in the top 10% of her class. Our girls worship her! When she was preparing for the Marines she ate only chicken, hence the nickname they gave her.  We are all so proud of her!  Love that our girls look up to someone who sets her mind on something and lets absolutely nothing get in her way.

White Christmas

What could be better this time of year than simplicity and white?

Christmas Fun...

 Tree 2011

Ernie the elf has been dutifully watching the girls for Santa.

Every morning he is in a new location in our house and the girls hunt him down.  If you look carefully you can see him in our tree above.  

Last week the girls found a sleigh at the park by school.  

GG took a whirlwind tour of the city with Daddy today.  Here she is posing with the tree in Rock Center.  NG went to Radio City yesterday with Mama & Papa and also saw the tree.  Lucky little ladies!!

Last weekend we took the girls to the old alma mater.  Yup! We were Aggies... I guess we still are, and always will be.  Anyway, we spent four years of our lives in Bucks County, PA at Del Val, and it was so nice to go back.  It was where we met, then became friends, and the rest is history :) The girls were so into touring the campus and the farms.  They loved to hear silly old stories about our college days, and kept asking where they were.  Haha! We enjoyed being back in the area and fondly reminiscing, as well as expressing shock that it has been 12?!?! years since leaving.
