Christmas 2015

Our very own Elf on the Shelf

We are having the second of two snow days in a row and I am finally getting a little time to get caught up on some blogging.  The big kids are outside sledding and Ollie is upstairs napping and mommy is getting a rare moment of quiet.  We had a great Christmas.  Mark and Ella were readers at the Christmas Eve worship service, all the kids/cousins (minus Ollie) sang again at the service.  We had a relaxing Christmas Eve night with Grandma and Grandpa at our house and spent Christmas Day at the farm.  Ollie seemed to enjoy his very first Christmas.  

This little guy gets lots of attention!

Love this photo!

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes....

We are so blessed by these four!

Bedtime Stories

These two love to snuggle at bedtime.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Oliver celebrated his very 1st Thanksgiving today and we are so thankful for the joy and light he brings to all of us. I am so lucky to have four loving, caring children, a wonderful husband and a great big extended family to support and love all of us! Happy Thanksgiving! May we all be able to count our bountiful blessings!

Happy Halloween!

We had a scary doll, Boba Fett, Mal and the cutest little penguin to share in our Halloween fun!

First Day of School 2015

Today was the first day of school for everybody but Mark and Oliver. Claranna started first grade, James began fourth grade, Isabella is in seventh grade and mommy went to teach kindergarten in the afternoon. The house was awfully quiet this morning when just Oliver and mommy were hanging out.

Baby Ollie on a Little Green Tractor

We spent the day at a local county fair yesterday and Oliver and all of us had a great time.

Death Defying Feat

This is what happens if you try to volunteer your daughter to be part of a juggling act at a county fair. Ella was safe. I was not!

Sparklers--not just for kids!
