Scrub-a-dub-dub

This little boy can drive me batty. His humor can make me laugh. His affection can make me feel like the luckiest girl.

I love this little boy, sausage fingers and all.

Frogs

Aiden is excited to introduce Salty and Pepper, the newest addition to our little family.

Holiday catch up

The Tree was set up, the presents where wrapped. Two days before Christmas, the water started to come. This flood is the 3rd flood within 9 months. As of today, the water is still coming.

We didn't let this damper our Christmas, infact it was great. It was Our first Christmas together as a new family. It was memorable to say the least.

Aiden was spoiled. He got everything he asked for from Santa. Which included wii remotes, a remote control car andLegos.

I got what I wanted....snowshoes for the family.

This is how we celebrated New Years day, and escaped the chaos.

Family Pictures continued

I am excited to hang this collage on my bare living room wall. Thank you Tara.

Activity Days Christmas

For the activity days Christmas party, I wanted to emphasize Christ as much as possible. We started out watching this video, A baby changes everything.

We then made glass ornaments, that were filled with raffia and a picture of Christ. The girls loved making them. Note to self: use plastic bulbs next time, two girls ended up shattering theirs on the hardwood floor.

We then wrapped up the party eating cookies, while I read a Christmas Bell for Anya. Each girl received a bell to take home. They made a promise to ring the bell on Christmas Morn, before they opened any presents, in remembrance of Christ and his sacrifice.

Gingerbread House

We have never done a gingerbread house before. Aiden caught sight of one, and I didn't hear the end of it till I gave in and bought a kit.

This made Aiden's day. I could see the excitment of Christmas in his eyes. I hope these are the moments he remembers as he gets older.

Christmas Program

As you took your place on the stage, I felt the emotions building up. I fought back the tears, thinking this is silly. Then I heard you sing. Tears of joy streamed down my face.

I am so proud of you.
