Christmas 2011- Nana and Papa B and Family

Santa Came and Our Savior Was Born!!!

This year I am so very thankful that Kylee and Austin can now share the true reason for the season with us. What a joy to know your children have the LOVE of Jesus shining in their hearts... It was a beautiful Christmas.

Christmas 2011- Nina and Papa and Family

Christmas Card Puzzle Ornament

Whew, that was a mouthful. Nina and Papa sent these in the mail. I promised the kids the first day of Christmas vacation we would work on it. Let me tell you, when you promise them something they will not let you forget...

What a fun card! They were just challenging enough to puzzle Mommy, but of course my little puzzle man could figure it out without any help:) Kylee was fascinated with the surprise inside the house.....a Christmas tree!

Christmas Sing-a-long

Kylee's class sang "Ring a Little Bell"
Austin's class sang "Must Be Santa"

They were so cute....they did awesome!

Christmas Creations

Thank you Meme Mac for this kit. After anxiously waiting... the kids(well, Mommy too;) were soooo excited to finally construct it.  It was yummy fun!

Meet Butter

Short for Buttercup, Butterfly, Butterscotch, and Butter B...we're an indecicive bunch.

Butter adopted us a couple months back, but with Daddy not being much of a cat person it took a bit for her to warm her way into the house. She is on the prowl at night and comes in for short visits during the day.  The kids just adore her and she lets them carry her everywhere. Just the other day I caught Butter and Bella cuddled in Bella's bed.  It seems she has even warmed her way into Bella's heart...

A Proud Moment

Walking in the halls of school this morning these pics caught my eye. Needless to say, I was a proud Momma.

Each quarter the school puts out a  good character building word. Last quarter Austin was recognized for his determination and just today Kylee was recognized for her great compassion:)  We're so proud of them and all the other amazing characteristics they possess....

Pumpkin Patch with Nina and Papa

Before Halloween, Nina and Papa took the kids to the pumpkin patch. From these pics it sure looks like they had a barrel of fun! :)

Halloween Night

Trick-or-treat!
Nina treated us by taking us back to the 70's.
Meme and Poppy's photo decided to trick us. Creepy. They took the kids through Mommy and Uncle Jarrett's old trick-or-treating route. Oh, the memories...

The debut of...

Captain America and Princess Jasiman.

Halloween Weekend~ Saturday

After their last morning of soccer, Nina and Papa picked the kids up for a fun day at the pumpkin patch! That night we carved our pumpkins and made a yummy apple dessert!
