A WALK ON THE BADO SIDE......: 2010

CHRISTMAS EVE

Christmas Eve was alot of fun. We opened one present, chich of course were our new pj's! The kids were so excited to get them! We went to Tyson's mom and dad's for dinner and hung out for a little bit and then went to mine and watched the Christmas Carol. We went home and said good bye to our Elf, Elvina. The girls were sad to see her go! We put reindeer food out for the reindeer had the kids pose with their new pj's on watched Chirstmas Vacation and went to bed to wait for Santa to come.....

GIRLS CHRISTMAS PARTY

So every year we have a Christmas Party with my good friends. We trade houses each year for 1 of us to be the host and they have the main course and the rest of us bring the sides. This year it was Katie's turn and she had it at her club house. She made some really good chicken! She did a great job!! Thanks Katie!! It was a blast! So fun to get together just as a girls and eat, talk, exchange presents and just to hang out!! I have the GREATEST friends ever!! Also, this year we added Nikki to our group. She has been such a great friend for so long it was about time we added her in!!!

ZOO LIGHTS

HOLY FREEZING!!! We went to the zoo lights a couple days ago and it was beyond freezing!!! I don't even know if we really got to enjoy it cause it was so cold. The wind was blowing and it was just bone chilling!! Other than that the lights were cool!! Didn't get to see too many animals though! =( We did get to see Comet and Prancer! No Santa he was getting ready to leave when we stopped by.

BEAUTIFUL DANCING CHRISTMAS

The Christmas dance shows were here and gone! Averrey and Daicia did so good and looked so beautiful! Thank you to their wonderful teachers and MCE for putting together another great show!!!

So they performed twice that night and on the second show Daicia came out without a tap shoe on? I thought maybe she took it off and they didn't have time to go back and get it or they couldn't find it.....So when she was done I asked her where her tap shoe was and she pointed to a little girl that stands behind her in their line and says "she stepped on it, and it came off!"
As she was marching on stage she kind of came on weird and looked back but kept on going. She danced the whole entire dance, smiling and all with only one tap shoe! She was a PRO! Did exactly what you should do!

Sitting on Santa's Knee

So we took the kids to the mall the other day and we went to sit on Santa's knee. We weren't so sure what Tayvin would do but after he saw that Averrey and Daicia did it he was ok with it. Although, he would not look at Santa at all. "just keep looking away and it will all be over soon!"

NOTHIN BUT A GOOD TIME

We went and saw Bret Michaels last night at The Depot. It was so AWESOME! We were pretty close to him, not close enough to smell sweat or anything but close! Great concert! Thanks Miguel for getting us the tickets!

THE POLICEMAN

The Policeman stood and faced God, which always must come to pass. He Hoped his shoes were shining. Just brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman. How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To my church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoudlers and said, "No, Lord I guess I ain't, because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, and at times my talk was rough, and sometimes I've been violent, because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny, that wasn't mine to keep, I worked a lot of overtime when the bills just got to steep.
And I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here, They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had to much, but if you don't I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne where the saints had often trod. As the policeman waited quielty, for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman, you've borne your burdens well. Come walk the beat on Heaven's streets, youv'e done your time in hell."
