Nor' Easter

Our neighbor Arnie is letting us borrow his snow plow for the winter. Thank you!

Waaa! I can't put my arms down!

Christmas Cheer

Thula did a Gingerbread making workshop at our favorite orchard store.

Thula on the day of her Christmas concert at school. She got to be in a small singing ensamble.

So much for cute christmas pictures!

Look who's a big girl now in her new high chair.

Playing catch with sissy.

Happy 6th Birthday Thula!

Thula said her favorite gift was her 'footsie' pajamas

I got her the game Operation-we had fun playing it because she was so nervous about getting 'shocked.'

The cake may not look pretty, but it sure tasted better than what you get at Friendley's!

Playing christmas bingo-wha-hoo!

Yeah, pinata-try not to have too much fun kids-(I think they were afraid of Stuart).

Poor Lela was ignored for two hours, luckily she found amusement in the balloons.

It was a zoo with six 6 year olds, but Thula was so excited to have a party. She woke up early and kept trying to get me up. Finally, she brought in Lela and said that she had been 'crying.' Yeah right, thanks a lot Thula (grumble, grumble). But now it's over and it's nothing but good memories. We also played "Pin the nose on the snowman, " "Toss the balloon and make sure it doesn't touch the ground (Thula's favorite)," "Hide and find the reindeer," and "Musical coloring books-I didn't have enough chairs, so the coloring books worked out fine.

No More Scones!

We put our tree up the day after Thanksgiving because Thula was just too excited.

Afterwards she curled up on the couch and fell asleep. I agree, Christmas decorating is a lot of work.

We had our Thanksgiving dinner at the church. Thula is sitting at the little kid table.

Taking a break from cooking Thanksgiving food.

Hey there!

Oh Asha, you are so funny!

This is what candy from China does.

Who doesn't love playing in a box?

Rock star Thula

Merry Christmas! Pay it forward
