Isi in the Spotlight!

Looks like this post is going to mostly be about our littlest star of the house. Does she make an adorable snowman or what? She was so cute, the teachers really do a great job with all the kids.

When we were decorating our tree this year Isi found this old tree stand and decided to make it her own tree and that made for a one of a kind, Isi creation. Her little tree is still up right beside the big one.

Here little Is is hiding with a mouth full after I caught her sneaking chocolates the other morning. She definitely knows that was a big no no.
Our Christmas was beautiful. Athena got her new cell phone and it is awesome. Ted managed to hide it in the cushion behind her while she opened gifts Christmas morning and when she was all done he phoned her on it. Her reaction was priceless. Now we are already dealing with her glued to the phone texting all day.
Wish you all a beautiful Holiday and Happy New Year,
Love the Sfikas Family

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays! Hope you are all enjoying the season. We kicked off the weekend with Hera and Isi's dance show. Hera was a reindeer and awesome on stage and Isi was a little snowman, pictures of her to come. Great show, I am so proud of the girls. I learned a lot about being a stage mom, we had to get up at 6am to do hair and makeup for the rehearsal in the morning, I ran to work from the theater to work, ran back to the theater straight from work in my ugly clothes I got the girls ready and finally sat down only because Hera was willing to watch Isi behind stage. It was crazy but worth the memory and we plan on being much better prepared for the next one.

Here is Isi in the poncho my mom made for Isi from scratch. I love this photo and sweater on her.


Our biggest treat of the season was that Chris and Artie came to visit for a few days. I actually was brave enough to set foot on the golf course and give it a try. Turns out I am not too bad and maybe should go out a little more often.



Now there's some good looking men!





This photo is for anyone I may have missed sending. The first night Chris and Artie were here a drunk driver plowed into the brick wall around my house and actually drove off before we could get out to him. They caught him right away and my wall is already fixed. Thankfully no one was hurt and we don't even have to pay the bill or deal with the mess thanks to our HOA. Turns out our guest bed must be really cozy cause Chris and Artie had no idea anything happened till the morning.
I have been booked solid for grooming and can't wait for a nice long weekend with the kids and Ted. We'll be in touch soon!
Merry Christmas,
Love The Sfikas Family
