We're Ready for Christmas!

Consider this your Christmas card this year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We were afraid that Davin would be in the presents and tree all the time, but honestly this is the first time he's touched the tree. He steers clear of all of it!

Darin's Grandma's Christmas Party

So fun! There's tons of food, presents, and a program, but the hi-light of the evening is the nativity. Davin is baby Jesus, Lyndi, Erin, and Kayla are angels and Aubree is a wise guy in the back with sunglasses. (on the right in gold)

SNOW DAY!

Drinking hot chocolate after playing in the snow.
We can't remember our last snow day and we've definately not had one before Christmas before. The kids were so delighted to wake up to this much snow and played with the whole neighborhood all day. They built snowmen, went caroling, drank hot chocolate, and went sledding!

This was the snow 2 days before the big one. Lyndi and I built a snow girl together since all her sisters were sick that day.

Fall Leaves

Fall has arrived! A good windstorm took off quite a few leaves this last week and the kids have been loving it. The trees around town are so beautiful right now.

Parent-Teacher Conferences..I'ts tough to be me

We had parent-teacher conferences this last week. I went to Lyndi's kindergarten class and her teacher said, "I love having Lyndi in my class. She's a hard worker, always on task. She gets along with everyone and has a great sense of humor. I wish I had a whole class full of Lyndis". I went to Aubree's class and her teacher said, "I love having Aubree in my class. She has never had her card pulled, and always gets her work done. She is so smart and I love reading her writing. I wish I had a whole class full of Aubrees." Then I went to Kayla's class. Her teacher said, "I love having Kayla in my class. I can set anyone next to her because I know she'll stay on task and get her work done. She is friendly and gets along with everyone. She always does superior work. I wish I had a class full of Kaylas." Wow, what a boring day for me. Just kidding! Keep it coming!

50 states take 2...plus dancing!

This is Erin singing the states for you. She has heard them so many times from her sisters that she does pretty well. My favorite is "I love Kansas" (Iowa, Kansas). Plus she adds her own personality to it!
