Taylor Signs at a Deaf Living Assisted Living House

 Taylor signed at her cousins deaf living assisted home with her brother who played the mandolin.  Dan switched in and out playing while Taylor signed to his music and her own music too.  The following video shows Taylor signing one of her songs, I (Steve) always enjoy when Taylor signs, it is always great to watch and she does a wonderful job when she signs.

Steve Work party - Blue Mesa

Steves Leadership group had a dinner- at Blue Mesa - It was realy nice, got to meet a few people, mainly just the people that sat in front of us.. they actually go to my (Taylor's) church's sister church... haha. :) anyways so we chatted a little bit... it was nice.

Steve Work Party -

Steve's boss hosted a little party at his home - I was able to meet some more of Steves co-workers, a few of them I had already met, but it was nice to see the group that Steve was currently working with... we had a very nice time, and really enjoyed it. :)

Scrooge Musical

Part of Mine and Steves Birthday gifts was to go see Scrooge, at a local little community theater, Artisan Theatre of Hurst, Tx. .. The whole family went, Mom, Dad, Brother, Granny and Steve and I . We had alot of fun, and the actors did a fantastic job.

Taylor's Office Christmas Party

Taylor's work Christmas party was on Wednesday, December 7th. they rented a little room at "Eddie V's" _ which was a steak and seafood place (very nice...)
We had to bring items for a "white elephant gift exchange" - We were one of the first people to arrive. They decided to do things differently this year (We wouldnt have known any different, since this was Taylor's First Christmas party to attend with them... So this year we "drew" our table. - that way hopefully everyone can get to know each other better and that way we can get to know people other than our little groups...So we arrive, and we drew our table, we wait for others to arrive, then when it was all said and done - we were sitting at the "big boss's table".. haha.. we had fun, we ate... delicious food.
We started the gift exchange. it was a really fun time... Taylor actually had one of the Final "Draws" so She could pick out anything she wanted... she ended up with a Pie maker (she didnt think about getting one of the many gift cards or anything... she was nervous, and just grabbed one of the first things she saw. :) )

Apple Pie attempt number 1

I (Taylor) have a list... a "101 things to do in 1001days list" -- basically just a list of stuff I've been wanting to do, and it has a time limit... 1001 days. My deadlne is coming up... August of this year. one of the items on the list is to make a pie... so we decided to make an apple pie on this day... we got everything ready, steve had a recipe... well things didnt go as they should have,
we added too much water, and so the dough was extremely wet, too wet to do anything with, so we ended up having the apple filling mixture that I made and put it over some icecream. :)
It still was good, but the item on the list is not crossed off.
