Weekend fun

We had lots going on this weekend, but thanks to some sweet friends, Allia and Mariana were able to go see the Nutcracker, with several of their friends performing in it! Here they are ready to go...

And Pawpaw and Manah were here, so the children enjoyed extra reading time :) among many other treats!

Little Driver

Here is our newest little driver

And this is what happens when you let little ones drive...traffic jam!

Happy 10th Anniversary!

What a wonderful, beautiful, amazing ten years it has been! We are truly blessed.

Happy St. Nicholas Day!

Today we brought out the stockings in memory of St. Nicholas. We also wrapped and readied all of our Giving Tree gifts for the poor to bring back to church on Sunday!

11 Months Old

Wow how time flies. It just passed me by. Anastasia is cruising all around, talking a lot including several real words/names. She had a few sleep setbacks this month but otherwise is growing and changing too fast...I can't believe one year is coming so soon. Here she is with another favorite passtime, playing in the little kitchen. We moved it downstairs so she can play more (and mommy can have her hands free more).

Updates

Anastasia's new favorite outdoor activity

And our thankfulness tree before we took it down to replace it with the Jesse Tree

Sweet friends

Allia had the blessing of going out with her friend yesterday to celebrate her birthday. They went to U Paint It where they each selected an item and painted it together. Afterwards they went out to lunch together. She had such a great time. I am so thankful for such sweet friends!
