Ode to Blogging....

The act of putting pen to paper
encourages pause for thought,
this in turn makes us think more deeply about life,
which helps us regain our equilibrium.

We had the privilege of going to Christmas Concert where our two oldest performed.
They were great!

Cute.Classic Michael.
LOVE music and singing.
Look at him SING.Princess Olivia.
She was SO excited to perform.

I LOVE her energy!
I told Isaac he had twinkle eyes because his eyes are so beautiful, then he hid them for as long as he could. Silly dude!This picture was actually before. I love her smile. What a happy girl.
Such a treat to watch our munchkins sing. They ROCK!

The MOST wonderful time of the year!

Christmas is right around the corner!
The day after Thanksgiving we started decorating!
I love pulling out the Christmas Music:) My sweet angel playing with the manger in her Santa Hat.

Painting Ornaments. A Family Tradition.
I love looking at our cute tree decorated with ornaments my kids have made.
That is perfect!

build one and it was fabulous and I took pictures
and they didn't turn out.

Thanksgiving FUN! We had planned to go to my Mom's
but the CRAZY weather kept us home.
It was such a great time:)The kids were in heaven:)
LOTS of playing in the snow
Game playing....
And of course great company!
Lou and Kevin and the best cooks ever!! When we got there I asked Lou if she had an apron I could wear. Waylon was being a silly goober and asked if he could have one too. I told Lou he would like the one with pretty flowers (I didn't know she actually had one like this!)
Waylon put it on and we had a GOOD laugh!

(He took it off very quickly)
I love my hubby's great sense of humor.
He always makes me LAUGH!

The kids were fascinated by the snow.


The kids made snow forts and snowmen
(I think they were out there for 5 or 6 hours)

Cute Courtney!

The food was absolutely DELICIOUS!

We had a blast with our sweet friends:)

Reflections

Olivia entered a contest at her school called Reflections. The them was "together we can." Her poster had a picture of the earth in the middle and about 50 little people holding hands around the world--She wrote:
"Together we can make the world a better place. We can work together and......help eath other by helping when someone is sad. Help each other together and say I'm sorry." What an amazing girl!
Olivia (in pink) waiting to receive her award.
Olivia receiving her award. GO girl:)
So proud of our little angel who is so kind, compassionate and ready to save the world!

Fancy Day


Olivia loves dressing up for her spirit days at school. For fancy day she really wanted to wear her fairy dress. She also had a crown on (I had to talk her out of wings) but decided she couldn't play on the monkey bars with it on. She was so cute wearing her princess dress and tennis shoes. I love this girl:)

Some people are always grumbling
because roses have thorns.
I am grateful that
thorns have roses.
