End of Year Festivities

What a wonderful time of year.  Our girls wanted to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus and pray before heading out to see what was under the tree for them.  It was also requested that we have a birthday cake for breakfast -- so that's what we did :)  I think Dad would like to have an "egg casserole cake", but this year it was just vanilla ;)

We got to see my side of the family on Christmas day and the day after....then we were on the road and visited with Kevin's grandparents and extended family, then spent a few days with his parents, brother, and sister-in-law.  I'm just going to post the pictures, they are pretty self explanatory! :)






Kevin got Peter a tool box this year.  Next year and the years to come, Peter will get a real tool to put in this box and will end up with a nice collection by the time he's grown up!







Peter got an R2D2 puff-ball from Mawna and Pap....Kevin declared it the best gift of Christmas ;)
















April decided to cover her eyes while Grandpa got this gift open for her :)  Pure delight!








Of course, when we got back we had to celebrate New Years Eve!  Had friends over for a "pajama party" :)  Here are all the kids toasting with some sparkling juice....such excitement!

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 :)

Mexico 2025 ;)

 After a year of not blogging, I'm making this post as an attempt to restart :)  We went on a family vacation back in February that was wonderful. It was a good time of year to travel and the picture above is from the first day. We got to the resort at lunchtime, threw on the swimsuits, and then had a dinner reservation at 6! So it was a jam-packed day but everyone was thrilled! We enjoyed time at the pool, the kids grew more confident in speaking Spanish and ordering drinks, and each night was a great dinner & ice cream at the little coffee shop :) Everyone has said they would go back :)  Maybe some day!
