Busy Weekend!


This picture above was taken at our church's Christmas Tea.  It's for women of the church (of all ages) and is a great way to start the Christmas season!  I took Chloe and April along this year.  I curled their hair before we went and they had fancy dresses on too.  April's hair held those curls really well -- you'll see in the next few photos.  She wanted me to do it again after her bath - she wanted "bouncy hair" she said :)


Next up was Saturday's Gingerbread house activity - also at our church.  It was great fun, and here are our two final products.  April's is the top picture, Chloe's is second.



Based on Peter's shirt, can you guess what we did on Sunday?


That's right! Got our tree :)  Peter and I stayed home because I suspected he was getting pink-eye .... so the girls went with Kevin and picked the most perfect tree!


A little time-out for egg nog in Christmas cups is always a good idea. And gives the parents a few minutes to get the tree in the stand and not crooked ;)


This little boy LOVES watching the train go round and round! :)





Every ornament we own is on this tree.  I mean, even the ones that I wouldn't put on every time, these girls found and put on the tree. Here is April's contribution -- three ornaments on the same branch :)



It's beautiful.

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Happy 4th Birthday Chloe!

You are growing into a compassionate, cheerful, young lady! We love you Chloe and are looking forward to this year with you!! 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
