NYC at Christmas Time.....

A few pics from my recent 24-hour excursion to the big city.....(the one that never sleeps!!)

The Nutcracker

Last night was Grace's performance in "The Nutcracker" with the Moscow Ballet....I wasn't allowed to photograph her in costume, but here are a couple shots from backstage.

My Irish Twins turn 9 and 10

Some birthday pics......yes, Grace had her hair dyed blue at her party! Peyton is 10 on November 24, and Grace 9 on November 23. My two little turkeys!!!

Go Cavs!

Due to Peyton's involvement in the Cavs summer camps, once again he was treated to some special benefits at last weeks game against the Bulls....high-fiving the team!! Not bad for a 10-yr-old! We had a great time, but WOW...recovering from a late night up and back from Cleveland is getting harder with age.....

20 Years

I can't believe I have been out of high school for 20 years!! It was so great to see everyone at our 20th year reunion this past weekend. Everyone looks pretty much the same....just "wiser":) We had a visit from our very own Bulldog mascot! All hail the brown and white!

Autherson Family Reunion

Wow.....32 years had gone by since the Autherson's held a family reunion, and here it was. Tons of people that I'm related to that I didn't know existed. Simply weird!! Most of these people are offspring of my Grandpa Autherson's brothers and sisters. I guess my "family" is bigger than I thought!

Hannah Montana

I took Grace 2 1/2 hours North of here to take a tour of Hannah Montana's tour bus! Here she is standing near the bedroom where Hannah's parents sleep on the bus. You can see one of Hannah's wigs, her guitar, and several of her clothing items in the background. Grace got her hair "rocked out" while there also. Fun mom/daugher day!
