The Teets Family: December 2010

Reindeer Food/Mom

For the past couple of years I've made bags of Reindeer food

(choc covered mix with m&ms) for Mom to give out.

As it gets close to Christmas the nurses start asking

when I'm making this treat...

This year I put the individual bags in a large bag and

Natalie & Jayden pushed

mom around as she handed it out.

My mother has always been such a giving person. She just loves doing this.

Jayden told everyone "Merry Christmas" what a fun experience for all of us!

I am so proud of Natalie , she never minds coming to visit my mother. Its not always a pleasant environment. On days when I don't feel like going she always is willing and encouages me..

Natalie shows mom unconditional love. She is friendly with all the people at Avante assisted living facility.

Jayden looks a little apprehensive here,but really he was out going and very friendly with everyone. His only concerned was for the man that didn't have a leg anymore.

Mickeys Very Merry Christmas!

We love going to Disney for Christmas.

Natalie always takes Brianna with her.

They walk in with us and we don't see them again until the parade starts.

This year Alex just want to hang out with Rick! The fireworks were beautiful!

Jayden just didn't make it!

Geoffrey was in such a great mood , I caught him singing a few times.

Just enjoying the Christmas spirit! (or just excited about going snow skiing in the morning)

Natalie getting some snow off Brianna's head!
Missy , Jonathon, Payton, Britton , Katelyn, Micahel ,Macie,Merrik, Mickey, Christy, Madison, Cameron ,and Missy's aunt were all at Disney too!! Fun night!

Cheerleading Try-outs

Natalie wanted to try out for cheer leading at Mt Dora Middle School.

They had practice for 5 days and on the last day held try -outs.
72 girls in the 6th -8th grade tried out! She made it! Way to go Natalie!! Good Job!

Rhea helped Natalie make shirts for her group they were very well done!!

Thanks Rhea!

Happy Birthday Macie-Kate

Macie had her birthday party at Chuck E Cheese this year !

She had a great time with her friends and cousins!

The best part NO mess at home! Katelyn loved it!

A glance at the future .

Britton and Alex riding around together!

Payton , Britton ,Jayden and Alex all came to celebrate.

I have to say as a grandma this place makes me a little nervous.

They all go different directions and are everywhere!

Missy keeping up with her little guy.

He is so fun.

Of course Jayden loved riding the horse!

The pretty pink birthday girl!

Happy Birthday my sweet Macie-Kate!

Pictures

Missy had a photographer come to Red-Tail to take pictures of the individual families.

Andera came out early in the morning and started. Rhea set it up for the families to get together at the end of the day and have some group shots to give to Rick and I for Christmas. What a great gift. Even though the kids were over the whole picture thing, I think we got some great shots. Thank you Missy and Rhea this really was a great gift.

Next time I think we will have to do just one family a day!

7 children 4 and under ....

Jonathon , Missy , Payton 4 years old and Britton Craig wonderful 2!

This picture says it all Macie-Kate loves her baby brother Merrik!

Geoffrey, Rhea ,Jayden 3 years old, Alex almost 2, and Baby landon 5 weeks!

Light up Mt Dora

We thought it would be so much fun to take the kids to light up Mt Dora.

Natalie, Anna, Katelyn ,Macie, Merrik, Rhea, Jayden ,Alex and baby Landon all walked from the office to downtown(only about 3 blocks) to see light up Mt Dora. Good idea only EVERYBODY in lake county must have had the same idea!
