Decorating Christmas cookies


I love this tradition! I remember going to my Aunt Margaret's house and her letting us decorate cookies. She always seemed so calm and patient during the process. I hope I come off the same to my kids, but with all the little hands, icing, and sprinkles...Eek! In spite of all the mess, it's just so fun!!

Happy Birthday to Zane!!


Zane is turning 5 today!
Five years ago, while we were still in the hospital, I said to Bobby, "This one is going to be a dream as a baby, but when he gets older he's going to give us a run for our money!". So far, I was right! Zane is full of mischief (he's the kid in school that breaks the rules but with a wink and a smile gets out of trouble). He argues so well and long, surely he will grow up to be a lawyer! On the other hand, he's never met someone who isn't his "best friend"...he is a friend to all. He will make you laugh with a dry humor that goes right past most 5 year olds. That is our Zane!!

We celebrated today after church by going to Casa Ole for lunch. At Casa Ole, they will sing to you and you get free ice cream. These are pictures of him while being sung to...he was so embarrassed (which I thought was funny because he usually LIKES attention!).






(These were taken about 5 minutes before I had to RUN to the bathroom with Seth...a-hem...let's just say that I hope Germfest 2009 is not making a comeback...)

Houston, we have a problem...





Boy, aren't we in trouble? She's learned to pull up. Doesn't she look so pleased with herself? :)

Thankful

I love to see these "I am thankful for..." papers come home from school with the boys. It gives me a little window to see inside their heads.




Seth is thankful for family, Spike the dog (really?!?) and God.





Zane is thankful for his baby sister, Quinn.

LOVE it!!
