Anthony attended his first NFL game!!

We all know that there are only a few things a young man wants and dreams for in his lifetime.
One of those, would be to  attend an NFL football game!
My oldest son, Anthony had his dream come true this past Sunday night when he was invited to travel to Arlington, Tx with his Big (Big Brothers and Big Sisters).  Anthony is far from a Cowboys fan, he was super excited to learn that the Cowboys would be playing the Eagles!!  .
 Anthony is a HUGE Eagles fan...lol (dont ask me how, the boy was born and raised in Tx)

Anthony was so excited to be going to the game that he could not sleep for the nights leading up to the game...LOL

He is all thumbs up before the game started~

Cowboys stadium is HUGE!

WOW, check out that big screen

Anthony and his Big had an awesome time at the game. They enjoyed the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, excitement and food of a real NFL game!! He came home with a Dallas Cowboys car flag and a Cowboys cup and a lifetime of memories!

Anthony's recap of the game~ It was all good till the 4th quarter..lol
(thats when the cowboys starting winning)

Doesnt he look so happy at the outcome..LOL

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wanna give his "Big" a big thank you, for taking your time to mentor Anthony. I know that you have helped Anthony in many ways. He is more outgoing and talkative. We have also discovered that he is very competitive...LOL.  Anthony and his big were matched the 2nd half of his freshman year of high school.. They meet 2 to 4 times a month. They have done many things together, from doing homework, playing video games, chatting, watching movies, bowling or their favorite activity together is golf.(Anthony's big lets him drive the cart..lol) 

 The Big Brother Big Sister Program is a wonderful program.

Fun Ways to Gear up for Christmas

Part of getting in the Christmas mood is making plans and participating in
fun activities. But besides doing great activities, it is also fun decorating your
home with festive elements and having your kids participate by decorating the
Christmas tree. Of course there are other fun holiday traditions you might have,
like bringing out the holiday mugs and listening to all of your favorite holiday
tunes over and over again while spending time with loved ones near and far.
So pull out each breakfast bar stool in your kitchen and invite friends and family
members over – its time to enjoy the holidays in comfort and in style!

Renovate the Home – Maybe you’re not satisfied with some aspects of your home
and if this is the case that’s okay. Think of inexpensive ways you can add to your
home and make it come alive during the holidays. Try switching around furniture
and décor pieces – moving them and placing them in other rooms may do the
trick. It may be that you need a change of scenery and once rearranged your
interior decorations (even the kitchen and breakfast bar area) will look good as
new!

Bake up a Storm – If you love to bake and your friends and family enjoy all of your
delicious holiday snacks, why not hang out in the kitchen, pull out a chair or two,
and make all of your favorite desserts? If you have too many leftover tasty treats
you can always bring some desserts to church, school, or to the office. Most
people will love helping you out with dessert that you don’t want left in the house
and it will give you an excuse to bake more.

Wrap Presents and Pull out the Holiday Movies – Nothing will put you in the festive
mood more than wrapping gifts and watching fun holiday films with the kids and
friends. Allow your kids to pick out their favorite films and teach them how to
wrap gifts. You’ll all have a great time and will definitely feel the holiday spirit.
However, don’t be too strict when your kids think they have the wrapping down
but it still needs some work. It’s having fun is what really matters!

Go Ice Skating – Whether you live in a cold or warm climate that offers ice skating
indoors or outdoors, ice skating in any state is a fun winter holiday activity the
entire family can enjoy. Bundle up the kids and take them ice skating – if it is set
in a shopping mall area it will be gorgeous gazing at all of the holiday shopping
lights. Plus it will give you all the opportunity to laugh at one another as you
either fall or gracefully make your way around the ice skating rink!

Il Volo ~ CD “We Are Love” Review and Giveaway ends 12/16

Il Volo

Il Volo (English: The Flight) is a trio of Italian operatic pop teenage tenors, consisting of Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble.

In May 2009, three fresh-faced teenagers, Piero Barone (17), Ignazio Boschetto (16), and Gianluca Ginoble (16), appeared on the popular Italian talent show “Ti Lascio Una Canzone” and dazzled television viewers with their flawless rendition of the Neapolitan standard “O Sole Mio.” The boys, who won the competition easily, decided their group needed a name. “Il Volo,” meaning “flight,” was chosen to signify the feeling that these three young tenors were about to spread their wings and fly.

~~~~~~~~~
They have been Flying ever since!!
