Braving the COLD!

Last Friday was the first time the temps got above 32 degrees so we played outside for just a few minutes! It was nice to get some fresh air and get out of the house for a bit.

Look at my blue snowman!!

and my sassy girl!

and my sweet one!

LOVE!

Conner impressing the ladies!

and he leaves them behind ;-)

This is the cutest thing to watch! I tried to video him riding but my camera battery was dead. It's now charging getting ready for a busy, fun week with Christmas programs. He can only go backwards, so he goes around in circles forever and just laughs the whole time. Such a mess!

Christmas cookies

The girls and I made our first batch of gingerbread cookies last week. We made the cookies one night and then iced them the next day during a playdate. How festive they look in their holiday pj's!
The first ones out of the oven!! They are saying MERRY CHRISTMAS!

And here goes the fun and tasty part! Savannah came home with us from school so she got to join in on the fun.

some serious concentration going on!

The finished products....they had already eaten one. I finished up the rest during naptime ;-)

A Christmas Tea

The first weekend in December, the girls and I attended a Christmas tea at the Basgier's home. The Taylor's also joined us. These 2 year olds and 4 year olds are all best friends. They were so cute making their Christmas crafts and eating at the big girl table with fine china and special Christmas dishes. Hopefully this will become an annual tradition, especially since Emily will be at a different school next year. What wonderful memories!

Here they are making their notebooks.

Sweet Emily and her best friend Savannah.

Hard at work! Allison and Campbell.

All the sisters together, minus Allison. She was having one of her meltdowns. And yes, it was because of that dang e. coli bacteria that has attacked her system again.

And here is proof of her being there, but not really cooperating. Poor thing, she just didn't feel good.

Another attempt on the sofa to be with Allie B.

YIPPEE!!! Allison just needed some special love from her 2 yr. old friends.

Only Emily!

This was from the week of the Iron Bowl. Emily's class had a "tailgate" day and the teachers asked each student what they thought the score would be. Too cute! Some of the numbers cracked me up. War Eagle!!

Another picture too funny not to share. Ethan was helping me with the ornament box! "You caught me, Mom!"
