Snow…finally!
This morning we were able to see the grass in parts of our yard. This afternoon, we finally have snow covering it again. After school, the kids set foot inside the house just long enough to put on their snow gear and headed outside. Their friends joined them too, when they got off the bus from school. The temps are perfect today. I am sure they will play until dark!
Lost tooth
Shecklet #2 pulled another tooth. This time, he decided to pull it before math class. The best part is that he got to bring the tooth home in a little treasure chest.
Xmas in MG 2015
Lots of laughs and fun memories made today. It was our niece’s first Xmas, which made it even more special.
Shecklet #4 received pink “sheeters” just like Nana. Her big sister also received a purple pair. Papa had to work hard to get the lenses out of the frames! The girls had a lot of fun helping everyone else open their gifts. And the boys waited very patiently as we took turns pulling surprises out of our gift bags.
Christmas Eve 2015
My parents joined us for Christmas Eve mass and dinner afterward.
Note to self for next year – arriving 30 minutes before mass starts is not advised if 8 people would like to sit in the same pew. Thankfully, we were able to find 8 folding chair spots with unobstructed views. The church was packed – which is an awesome thing! So happy to see joy and excitement in people – especially in the faces of the little ones.
Delicious!
We had donuts from Hans Bakery yesterday after Family Formation and part of Shecklet #3’s came home in the bag that was originally my maple-bacon long john. As she was finishing up her raised glazed doughnut, she had this to tell me…
Shecklet #3: “Mom, do you know what?!?”
Mom: “What?”
Shecklet #3: “These are pieces of bacon and they are delicious!”
Happy 5th Birthday, Shecklet #3!!
My sweet, sweet girl –
Wow! Five years have gone by so fast! I can’t believe how you continue to grow! Your love of Jesus, others and yourself truly does bring JOY to all of us! Your dad and I pray that you keep that spark about you that draws others to you. We love to see you extend a friendly hand to new faces, try new things, play, experiment, cook, swim, scooter (with your unicorn helmet, of course!) learn, write and be the wonderful young girl you are! We love you so much and can’t wait to see all that you do as a 5 year old!
XOXO
Mom
