Our Paper Christmas Tree

Since John is in Virginia and we move out of our house in 6 days, we didn't put up any Christmas decorations. I usually have my Tree and trimmings up by night time on Thanksgiving so this has been killing me! SO. . .we made a paper Christmas tree. The kids and I colored ornaments and glued them on. We hung it in the kitchen so we can see it everyday. LOTS of Fun!
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Halloween 2010

Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween. We had lots of activities! John had his last soccer game, school parties, Halloween party at my parents house, Trunk or Treat at Church and of course Trick or treating. Lots of photos and lots of fun! Love you all!

Dylans face explains it all! He NEVER lets me take his picture so him posing for this one was GREAT! Happy Halloween!

Julia and her new laugh

This laugh started about a week ago. We knew from a very early age that Julia was "ALL GIRL". This video just proves that!

Moving to Richmond VA

I know, LONG over due but better late than never. The title is correct. John is taking a move to Richmond VA. Although sad, we are also excited to see what this adventure holds. I am mostly making this post to catch up on pictures but because I am SO FAR BEHIND, I will only share the most recent. Thanks for those of you who are still checking. . .even if I have neglected the blog for a while! I promise, more to come!

Love,
Anne

Easter and the Zoo!

We started our Easter on Friday. Went to Johns parents and had Brunch, Easter Egg Hunt, Played outside, family t-ball game, water fight and 75 degree weather. PERFECT! Went back up to GB on Saturday to my parents. Lunch, Easter Egg Hunt, some basketball and zimzam, a potato gun fight, only to come home to no power. Sunday a nice service at church and some down time at home. Monday, the ZOO and 70 degrees. IT WAS ALL SO WONDERFUL!!

Christmas 2009

We were all healthy this year for Christmas and I am thankful for that. Our children were all at great ages to see the spirit of Christmas in their eyes this year. Julia was excited about the presents...You could SEE the spirit of Christmas in Dylan's eyes and John wanted to tell everyone the true meaning of the holidays . It was SO MUCH FUN! A little local traveling, some friends over after the new year and lots of memories! Hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday season!
