Snow and Snowmen

The most exciting thing happened! We had some "snow" yesterday! The kids really wanted to build a snowman. We didn't have enough snow for snowmen, so this morning we made a different kind of snowmen. Ones that we stayed warm making and left our bellies full. The perfect way to start Christmas Break!

Family Christmas Photo Shoot

With the kids all dressed up for Ava's concert, I though I'd set a few minutes aside to snap a few photos in front of the Christmas tree. I learned two things...I need a better camera and next time I need to bribe the kids with cookies and maybe they will be more cooperative. (Feel free to let Ryan know about my need for a camera!)

Ava's Choir Rehersal

After months of practice the long awaited moment finnaly arrived. Ava sang on stage! She was so excited and did really well.

Basketball & Cheer

Ava started Cheer and Koen started basketball this month. Koen LOVES playing basketball. He can't dribble to save his life, but he is great at Defense.... even if he is a little too hands on:). Maybe Rugby will be more his speed. His team is called the All Stars and he's #1.

Ava is a great little cheerleader. She is on the same squad as her friend Emily. They squad calls themselves the CheerDivas.

Guess who's no longer afraid of Santa!!!

Catch me if you can!!!

Wow! It has been way too long since I have posted on here. Here's a bit of what we have been up to...

We had a spa sleepover complete with facials! Koen really wanted to participate and I ddn't have the hear to say no. This picture will make great blackmail someday!


We celebrated thanksgiving and my 32nd birthday! We had a great weekend hanging out with Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Ken. They stopped for the weekend on their way down to Florida to begin retirement!

Ava and Daddy have started praticing Christmas carols. Ava has been in a youth choir this semester and really enjoys singing.

Evelyn and Maisy are BFF's. They spend a lot of time together during the day while the older two are at school.
