more beetle pics...

I had to share some additional Beetle pics! We spent quite a bit of time today cleaning it [inside and out] and showing Allie how to clean it. She did a great job!

New Beetle - Allie named it Jasper





Todays daisies [lime green and pink] - she has several colors to choose from
so that she can change them out with her mood! How fun!

Happy New Year!!!!

new beetle...

Today was a big day! We bought Allie her first car. It's a 2001 silver Beetle. She's so excited! What's not to love? It's so cute, gets great gas mileage, easy to handle, cute, it runs great, it only had 1 owner and he took really good care of it, has a built in vase for colorful daisies [we've already bought several different colors], it's cute, it's silver [so it will look clean even when it's not], the monogram for the back window is already on order [thanks Runae!], did I mention that it's really cute? What teenage girl wouldn't LOVE to have a cute little beetle?

We're going to wash, wax and clean the interior tomorrow, so I'll take some more pics to post.

camping on Christmas...

Allie, Kate and Sam are camping tonight in the back yard! The low is only supposed to be about 49, so it won't be too cold. ;D

UPDATE: They didn't camp out all night, but they did have a lot of fun!








Merry Christmas!!

Happy Holidays

I love the holidays...and am so lucky to be able to travel to see my family. Allie and I drove to southern Indiana yesterday and are spending the next couple of days with my mom and dad. While we're here I'll be able to visit my grandpa, my sister, my nephew and some of my uncles, aunts and cousins.

Who will you be spending the holidays with?

Merry Christmas!
