Hair Bows

What do you do when you get bored? Put most of the hair bows in the house in your little sister's hair. (decorating courtesy of Sadie and Jayda)

Little Gymnast

Kelsey has absolutely loved gymnastics! She is already signed up for the next session. We love this little sweetie!

The Kiddos

Makenna in pretty headband and sporting the end of a shiner

Sadie's art work

I gave these bells to the kids at pre-school. Makenna got one as well and wouldn't take it off

Ready to sled!

Cutie pie in her favorite hat!

Cole with his masterpieces

Enjoying hot cocoa!

Found Makenna "reading" on top of the table.

Jayda's art work

Oh Christmas Tree!

This year, I have felt totally overwhelmed. It has been a crazy time in so many aspects in our lives. Some things had to give. We decided not to drive the hour to the farm to cut down our tree. We found a lot 6 minutes away and picked a tree. It actually turned out to be one of my favorites that we've had. I let control go and the kids got to do the hanging of the ornaments. Kelsey hung 8 Santas all together on one little branch. She cracks me up.

Lost!!

Jayda lost her first tooth! She noticed it was loose and pulled it out herself two days later!

Cute Girls

I love these girls!

Cuties!

This is how I found Kelsey. Watching the Ipad, on the couch, drinking some water, under her umbrella, in a dress-up dress. She. Cracks. Me. Up.

Messy Kenna!

Thanksgiving Play

I love the Kindergarten Thanksgiving Play. It is always so cute. Cole was an Indian, Sadie was a pilgrim and Jayda was an Indian. Jayda did a great job on her parts and was smiling the whole time. She loved having Kelsey there to see what she gets to do in two years! :)

Great Wolf Lodge, Baby!!!

We left the day after Thanksgiving and headed to Williamsburg and Great Wolf Lodge. Our family loves it there, but hadn't been for a few years. The kiddos were super excited! After a stop at the outlet stores (for me), we headed to the Lodge. We had a fabulous time! All 7 of us were water logged by the time we left. Cole and Bart even talked me into going on the Tornado. Not the smartest decision I've ever made. It seriously took 5 years off my life. Bart and Cole did awesome body surfing...Sadie and Jayda couldn't get enough of the several slide choices....Kelsey was happy as a clam floating on a tube in the tidal wave pool....Makenna loved being in the water up to her ankles. :) Great times had by all!

Hair Today-Gone Tomorrow

Jayda did it! She had her hair cut and donated. Jayda has such a tender heart and wanted to follow Sadie's example (2 years ago) on sharing their hair with someone who needs it. I'm proud of both of them!
