My Three Cubs!

My Three Cubs!
When we found out I was Pregnant Dustin asked if we could name our child after the Chicago Cubs. I laughed! When Gracie was born Mark Grace was so fitting for her. Beautiful Gracie. Not to mention the night she was born Mark Grace had one heck of a ball game. 2 Years later we had our Son. I struggled on what to name him. Randy said use a "D" name,” D-Hall just like his Dad". Tommy suggested the name Dawson. I loved the name Dawson immediately! Dawson-Andre Dawson that is. 2 years went by and we had another baby girl. I was having a name dilema because I didn't want to be restricted to a baseball roster. I loved the name Marlie and Ryan, Dustin suggested Ryne Sandburg! And there you have it Marlie Ryne Hall. Our Three Cubs!


I hope as soon as I get this first Blog posted I wont be so overwhelemed with creating a Blog...I hope! A few months ago I was at my Sweet friend Angi Pettersons house. She shared some of her Mom's diary with me. It really moved me! I have not stoped thinking about how neat it was that her Mother took the time to keep a journal. So, for my kids and my family this is my way to journal for you.


Christmas Caroling

Me and the kids practiced singing "Jingle Bells and Santa is coming to Town" through out the day while we made Christmas treats. My friend Kim gave me a fun recipe that was a perfect treat to take to those we were caroling to.
When we were getting ready to leave, Marlie ran to her room and got the Santa decoration from her door knob. The decoration had a jingle bell on it...she would shake it while we were singing... I had been trying to think of a unique treat to take to out friends and family. I was talking to my friend Kim about it and she told me about a treat that her Mom always made for Christmas. A marshmallow, Corn Flakes wreath. Perfect! I went to the store and got everything I needed. Then me and the Kids made the Wreaths. We put Red Hots on them to resemble the berries. The recipe turned out better then I thought it would be. I got the plastic plates from the dollar store, I love the dollar store!
Grandma Connie invited us in for treats.

Our Family had so much fun we will definitely do it again next year.
