Christmas Day

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas Eve nativity reading was complete with a cute little lamb. The kids have so much fun dressing in the darling costumes Colette made for us years ago.

Some Christmas sewing projects

I made more doll clothes for the girls for Christmas. The ice skating outfits have matching blue and pink ice skates with white fur around the tops.

Some Pre-Christmas parties & activites

Lucy isn't quite sure about that tree.

Ally performed "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree" for everyone at Vivian's Christmas party. She did such a great job. The best part was that she jumped up and volunteered to go next.

Sadie's birthday presents

Sadie's birthday wishes were a pink poodle webkinz dog, a jump rope (She loves playing jump rope at recess. She and Ally are very good at it.), and Junie B. Jones books. She got a little LED lamp so she can read in bed at night. Sadie and Ally are trying to be top in their classes for reading points.

Sadie's birthday party

For Sadie's birthday party, she had a pizza and movie night on Friday night with her friends from school. They watched the new Barbie and the Musketeers movie and had pizza, popcorn, and cupcakes.

Halloween

Ryan took the three oldest kids trick-or-treating. When they left, Lucy started to cry and was looking for them out the window. When they came back an hour and half later, we bundled Lucy up and she got to go trick-or-treating with Daddy too. She loved it!

Little Lucy

There just isn't anything cuter!

Lucy has discovered table food. She loves to eat.

Lucy and Reagan watching some TV together

If Ryan isn't Lucy's all time favorite, he at least comes in at 2nd place after Mommy.

More pictures at Gardner Village

There were fish in the stream under the bridge. The kids were entertained by watching them eat Cheetos and bread.

At Abby's baptism

Pictures at Abby's baptism. I think Elise was liking Ally's silk skirt. She wouldn't let go of her legs. Megan asked me to play the piano at Abby's baptism. So I did. That was my first time playing in public and my first time accompanying. You have to start somewhere. I was glad when the closing song was over!

Amy's baby shower

Lucy and Elise look like they could both be mine. Such darling girls!

Gardner Village with the cousins

We took all of the kids to see the witches at Gardner Village this week. I think the highlight was the big sucker fish eating Cheetos in the stream.
