Christmas Eve

The missionaries and the Mason's came to dinner. The kids did a nativity. Very short and sweet!!


Cookies and milk for Santa, veggies for the reindeer, and new PJ's.

Getting ready for X-mas

Gingerbread houses and sugar cookies!!

Christmas Concert

Isabelle played the part of Mrs. Claus in her third grade play. She did a fantastic job!

Curly Q....Shirley Temple.............

No..........but, an entirely different cool drink of water!!

Isabelle had been asking for months to put curlers in. I never did, because, well, she's already curly!! About a month ago, she finally broke me down, and I acquiesced. The finished product was actually pretty cute!

What do you do for fun?

We paint rocks.

Goodbye Griswalds!!

Some of you may have thought the Griswalds had moved in and were here to stay--understandable, since we've lived here for two years and have NEVER trimmed the bushes!! In our defense, they were so small when we first moved in, I just never really noticed how big they had gotten! All our worried neighbors can now breathe a sigh of relief!! We even found a bird nest in one of our trees! Pretty cool.

Witches!

All of us girls were 'funky' witches for Halloween! We made our skirts out of tulle, and I think they turned out pretty cute! We had so much fun!

The irony of me being a pregnant witch was not lost at our house!!
