Tis the season

for snow, gingerbread men, and christmas cookies. And we have all three right now! The other night Madeline and I made gingerbread men and were also gonna make the christmas cookies too but there were reports of a winter storm coming in so we held off til the next day. Good thing we waited cause we got it and it gave us something to do! Madeline loved putting the sprinkles on ALL of the cookies. Mommy got to frost them but she put the decorations on! And we had no distractions from Oscar cause grandma took him shopping with her:-) We're looking forward to grandma and papa coming next week for christmas! Til next time!

Icy Wonderland

Its an icy wonderland out there today!!! Looks so pretty but with all the limbs down also pretty dangerous! Nothing much going on here....kids just keeping busy playing, jumping off the couch....usual kid things:-)

My silly kids

Big and small:-) Here is a pic of daddy getting ready to go hunting. Wanted to be sure no one would mistake him as a deer:-) Then my little guy.....don't mind the runny nose, all the kids have colds! And then the two of them with their "new" strollers from Joan Lockhart:-)

Emma turns One!

We went over to Donna and Bob's on Sunday for Emma's 1st Birthday party. Had a great lunch of lasagna/macaroni and cheese, salad, rolls and then some yummy birthday cake.

Thanksgiving 2008

Was at Nancy and Donnie's this year. Had a crowd of 29. Fun times being with the family and lots of good food. Yankee swap theme this year was handmade or homeade. George's wooden bowl was the winner of most times being swapped. Sarah ended up with it, she chose it in the beginning:-) Til next time!
