sickies

 What do you do when you're sick at home over Christmas?  We've done numerous puzzles and graham cracker gingerbread houses!  We're all starting to get stir crazy, but I think we're going to make it!

                                                         That's a whole load of puzzles!

Christmas....when we all still felt good!

                                                                   Merry Christmas!!!

                                                                            Cheese!

Cheesecakes!

I made these two cheesecakes!  I've only made a cheesecake once and it was not pretty.  A good friend of mine walked me through these two step-by-step.  And ta-da!  Now, if only we hadn't gotten sick and missed the Christmas celebration in MN that I was supposed to bring them to.

All I Want For Christmas....

"All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth" was written in 1946 and was first heard on the Perry Como radio show.  The song still generates a chuckle today!

My Two Front Teeth

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Leah's Christmas Program

 I think it's hilarious that Maggie knows when her picture is supposed to be taken too, or so she thinks!  We don't call her over either.  I just take out the camera, head into the living room, and off she races to claim her spot.....crazy dog!  The kids are crazy cute too. 

                             Look out St. Thomas Christmas Concert......Here comes Leah Ingelin

Grandma and Grandpa Mueller made the trek from southern Missouri to see sweet Leah's Christmas concert.  They both commented on how nice it was to just sit back and enjoy the program, and not have to direct it!  St. Thomas did a fantastic job on their program.....I feel blessed to be a part of this great school and community. 

A surpise visit

I'm feeling very blessed!  On Wednesday after school, the kids heard a friendly knock at the door.  It was one of the baby-sitters.  Maddie has watched the kids on numerous occasions for us.....and the kids LOVE her!  She bought them Christmas presents.....how sweet is that?  Maddie is a true gem and we are so grateful to have her.  Thank you Maddie.

We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Elf!

Round and round the Christmas tree, Santa chased the elf! Santa caught him and gave him a kiss, Merry Christmas Elf!

Chubby Little Snowman

Blaker's Four-Year-Old Preschool Program.  We've been practicing for weeks!  I'm so glad all the practicing paid off, for all of them!  Great job preschoolers, great job Blake :)

She has mad hops!!!

We were standing in the wings........waiting, waiting, she flies through the air, and........OVER the pile she goes!  Maybe a long-jumper some day if we can get her to go feet first?

Fall Leaves

 

The first time Blaker has won a race!  It might have been because of a footfall in a very large hole....but he still won!

Busted and Proud

Busted and proud!  It was a fun start to my day, a few weeks back, when I came around the corner to find my two favorite little people praying together.  What better start to your day can you ask for?  Feeling very blessed :)
