Christmas 2014













it's an exceptionally awesome holiday when santa can come
ON CHRISTMAS. 
as a nurse who works every other holiday and 
trying to plan christmas for two sides of the family
as well, the holidays can be stressful. 
one thing that we never sacrifice is that even if we need
to write a letter to santa and see if he can come a different day that
we have a family christmas, at home, just us...all day long. 

i often wish for a job without weekend and holiday shifts, 
maybe some year i'll be ready...

Backpack Drive






Wallden women worked together to collect backpacks,
essentials like toiletries, hats, gloves, underwear, blankets etc to help
out Madison's homeless teen community by donating to Briarpatch.

What statred as a little collection box became a huge drive, it was awesome.
Thank you to our friends at the Vintage for offering up space for the event.

Girl Scout troop 2911 helped us with stuffing backpacks along
with friends, neighbors, co-workers and new acquaintences.

Halloween 2014



cold trick or treating this year

the little lion got cold hands
and Ben 10 stepped in a puddle and quit early

of course my sugar craving girl kept knocking on doors
till we ran out of steam.

Neighborhood Halloween Party







Ava - a Jack-in-the-Box. She came up with this costume
all on her own, stuck to the idea despite other "suggestions"
and worked really hard to help assemble the costume. 
If anyone wants to be a Jack-in-the-Box next year
we've got you covered. 

Luca is Ben 10 - I didn't know who that was either. 
He was excited about the costume and I didn't have to make it. 

Adam - a fuzzy little lion, a costume that I believe once 
belonged to my 17 year old nephew.
