Christmas is Coming

Christmas is coming. Do you know how I know? We have brought out the Christmas PJ's. So cute. Nothing better than a clean kid or baby in cute pj's.

"... Jesus was born in Bethlehem." Matthew 2:1

One, Two, Three ... Jump

Finley has a new trick. You will never guess who taught it to her (Grayson). She stands on her tricycle and moves up and down while you count and then jumps off after you say "Jump!". What fun. Can anybody say broken bones? I hope her guardian angel is with her at ALL times.

"He has placed you in the care of the angels to protect you, they will catch you..." Luke 4:9

1 Little, 2 Little, 3 Little Indians, 4 Little 5 Little ...11 (wild) Little Indians

Today was Grayson's Thanksgiving Party at School. Boy were they wound up. Thank heaven a few kids were out of town. I had to take cupcakes. The bakery had 24 cupcakes shaped and iced like a turkey! It was a big hit with the kids. Also I volunteered to stay and be a helper, which basically means to wipe down the kids, tables and chairs when they are finished. What a fun time they all had. Load them up with sugar and send 'em home.
"We are to celebrate a festival to the Lord" Exodus 10:9

Finally, I can see the Photo Finish! Whew...

Have you ever had a photo shoot with two kids (that don't like to sit still for more than 3 seconds at a time), three changes of clothes each and a photographer that doesn't really know what to do with kids? Well, we did. What a busy morning. The photo shoots always wear me out. Luckily I had mom to help this time. Now she's worn out too! :) They took nearly 100 photos and we only have about 25 good shots and about 4 really great ones. Oh well, at least it is over for the year and I won't remember the rough couple of hours. In 30 years I'll just have the great pictures and hopefully my memory of the good time we had. The photographer said Finley could be a track star she runs so fast. Who knows, maybe?
