When I got a cold last week, I knew I had to act fast.
I did two things:
1. Olive Leaf Extract – one a day
Olive leaf is commonly used to fight colds and flu, and other viral infections.
2. Ginger Tea (straight ginger and hot water) 2-3 times a day
Ginger has a high content of antioxidants. It acts as a natural antihistamine and a mild decongestant, it can also soothe a sore throat.
Yummy - All better now!
We took some pictures a few weeks ago for our Christmas card, but we didn’t get “the one”:
Blank faces:
Wrong pose and funny smiles:
Bad lighting, turned it to black and white. Almost “the one”:
Debated using just the girls:
But I really like our card to have all 4 of us, it fun to look back and see how we have changed:
I finally decided on this picture, but had to crop it because you can see the smoke from the turkey that was being deep fried nearby:
(the smoke is at the bottom right half)
Now I just have to finish addressing all of them!
We celebrated Jason’s birthday this weekend.
On Thursday we went out to eat at Taco Mac. On Friday, (his actual birthday) we stayed home and enjoyed a nice dinner and cake:
We ended the night with an awesome family dance-off!
Saturday night we had a date night, and Jason shaved his beard off!

After:
Happy Birthday Jason!
The girls both preformed in a Christmas Recital this past weekend. They both did a great job and the whole show was amazing!
The company dancers did became an advent wreath – it was amazing:
What a great way to get in the holiday spirit!
Today we drove through the mountains and had a picnic. The weather was gorgeous and the company was awesome!
Perfect Day!
A lady in my neighborhood started a Girl’s Night Out last night. I was a little nervous but excited at the same time. It ended up being a wonderful evening and I got to meet some new people. Sometimes it is hard to step out of our comfort zone, but I am glad I did!
