Did someone say they wanted snow????

This is what was left after the storm on Christmas Day.......


Quincy's snow fort
Sledding Fun






Getting some excercise (I mean Hannah)
This is what we had the day after Christmas










Parker almost disappeared

We got at least a foot or more of snow. The first step of the porch disappeared too.

Christmas



Here are some of our Christmas pictures. We actually got to sleep in until 7 am. Kind of a change from the 4 am of a few years ago. I think all of the kids were happy. It sure is different with teenagers. Hope all of you had a great time too.




This is our Christmas morning visitor. He just sat there and let us take his picture. He surprised me on the front porch a couple weeks ago. Gave me quite a scare!














Connor with his much needed skates







Plans to fix his car!


More hockey gear (he got other things too)


The great hunter




A happy little girl. Thank heavens they are easy to please when they are small

Messed Up!!!

WEDNESDAY

FRIDAY


I pulled my calf muscle on Monday helping move cars around. This is what it looked like Wednesday and then today, Friday. It really looks worse than it is. The boys have been so good to help me and worry over me. Kind of nice!!! (Todd has been in Kansas City this week). It is strange that the bruising started in my ankle and then moved up to where the pain really was. It is feeling much better today. I now have a new appreciation for those with sports injuries and such!

Blueberry Pie and Gingerbread

Quincy made a blueberry pie for Thanksgiving. She didn't eat any, but it was delicious!
The finished work of art!


Having Fun Creating!

Our little pilgrim


Quincy had a Thanksgiving feast at preschool. They were given the choice of dressing up as a Pilgrim or an Indian. She was an Indian last year and here she is this year.

All smiles!!
