The Big Cut

Samantha made a big decision this week by donating 9 inches of her hair!  We think she is cute as can be with her new haircut, and she was so proud to help another child.  She donated to Children with Hair Loss. (http://childrenwithhairloss.us/)

Would You Like to Buy Some Cookies?

Lauren's girl scout troop had a great time selling cookies.  Their small group of 5 first graders sold over 1,000 boxes!  I think these pictures will explain why they were so irresistible.

Ready to sell at the Kroger cookie booth.

The cutest little cookie ever.

How could you say no to this?

Birthday Season

'Tis the season of birthdays in the Gallite household!  The Dimos side of the family has 8 birthdays in a three month span between February 4th and and May 1st.  Here's a few pictures of the festivities so far with many more to come in April!

Happy Anniversary to the Glasgows

Grandma and Grandpa Glasgow celebrated 70 years of marriage this February.  Their love and dedication for one another is an inspiration to couples everywhere! 

Lauren couldn't get enough of her cousin Eli.  I see babysitting in her future!

Holiday Magic

This doesn't come close to capturing all that we did during the holidays, but here's a little glimpse of it.  My New Years resolution will be to snap more pictures during family gatherings!

Just what Sami wanted from Santa...a Princess Tiana doll.  Mommy will request that no future dolls contain so much glitter on their dresses.

 

Christmas Eve conversation with Lauren:

"Mommy, do you think Santa got me that walking dog?"  In a whisper..."You got it, didn't you mom?  If not, Daddy can watch us while you go to Meijer.  There's only two left!"
