OKC, OK

We headed to downtown Oklahoma City this past weekend.  Bricktown is a great place to walk around.  The canal was so nice to walk along and the whole area was decked out for Christmas. 

We also hit the Crystal Bridge with what seemed like the rest of the people visiting OKC that day!

After a nice walk we decided to stop at The Melting Pot for some awesome Chocolate Fondue.  Worth every calorie!!!

Trying to walk off dinner at "Toby Keith's I love this Bar and Grill" were Eric got a free dinner for his service in the military (how nice is that!).

Christmas Morning 2008

 My first attempt at downloading a video!,  And I can't think of a better moment to share with you.  This is my Christmas gift from my family.  Each using their talents.  Enjoy and Merry Christmas from our home to yours!

Christmas morning cuddles.  This is the view of Nicholas I expect to see for the rest of the day. :-)

Midnight Mass

Tori also sang for Midnight Mass at Blessed Sacrament and stole the show yet again with her little dances to the songs.  Chuckles rang out from the pews for her adorable actions.  Nicholas was embarrassed and I could not decide if I should be embarrassed or proud... but Tori was being appropriate and enjoyed the attention.

Tori

Tori joined her choir in singing to the residents of Willow Park Nursing Home.  She did such a beautiful job interacting with the residents.  I was so proud of her kind heart.  Ms. Rose thoroughly enjoyed the children, reaching out to them with joy.  Tori reached out both her hands to Ms. Rose and danced for her while singing to her with a huge smile on her face.  Tori definitely made Ms. Rose's day.

Merry Christmas Tori!

Nicholas also performed beautifully at the mall... Up on the Housetop!

Tori enjoyed performing in the mall court with her school choir.  She added her own dance to the songs even.  You surprised?!  She stole the show as is her norm.  Ei your dress received a number of compliments!
