Play time!

We have a great back yard for playing in the snow complete with a small sledding hill!  We had a blast!

Our first snow!

The kids were thrilled to walk out the door to go to school and find it snowing like crazy!  We have never lived anywhere that it snows so this was a BIG deal!

Naomi lost her first tooth!

Here we go!  

Now she is starting get nervous!

It came out lickety split!  She is so excited!

Thanksgiving Day Craft Gone Wild

We had a lot of fun making these turkey's.  Jared's aunt suggested the idea and amazingly, Michael's was the best!  We had some new good friends come over, the Vonfelt family.  They are perfect friends for my kids!  Aiden is 4 almost 5, Meredith is 9 and Sophia just turned 12.  

Michael with his favorite puzzle

He puts this puzzle together at least 5 times a day all by himself.  It is a 48 piece puzzle.  It is so cute, he just loves dinosaurs.  He now knows by site the names of 15 different dinosaurs and ready to learn more!

Here are some pictures from our Sunday afternoon walk.  

This is the girl's school playground.  

The girls were so sad to find the dead bird.  Maddie is a real animal lover lately.  Then Naomi insisted we had to bring it home.  We thought it was because she wanted to take care of it and thought she could heal it until she says, "I want to open it up and check out it's heart Dad."
