Cole's Winter Party.....

I planned Cole's Halloween and Winter parties in 
his class. This one didn't go as well as the 
Halloween party, but it went and the kids had fun.






We had snowmen on a stick for a snack, they played a Rudolph relay, decorated ornaments, read a story, and filled some large tubes with candy in a race.


Now...... it's time to start the planning for the Valentine's Day party. Last one of the year!!!

My Parents Visit .....

My parents came to visit for a few days before Christmas. It was great to have them here! Porter was super excited! We opened my parents gifts while they were here. My mom made each of the boys a blanket, and they also made little picture books of times they've spent with the boys over the years. The boys loved it!





Merry Christmas!

This was our first Christmas in PA. It was very small and simple, but turned out good! The plus side of having a small Christmas is that there isn't much to clean up afterwards! We started the day going to church. The boys were pretty restless and not too happy that they had to wait until we got home to open presents, but they did fairly well!  Here are a few pictures of the day!












Dave has been home since the Thursday before Christmas! It's been a nice break to all be home together. We hope you all enjoyed your holidays and that you have a great New Year! We look forward for what's to come!!!
