We had lots of fun with Max and Hailey when we watched them. Kenzie helped Hailey to play the puter (computer)which she enjoyed doing. Max and Hailey were so excited when Kenzie brought the tunnel down for them to play with. It kept them busy for quite some time and brought many smiles. Max went right through it without any hesitation. Usually kids have to get used to it and we have to talk them into going through. Max couldn't get through fast enough though. Max was also fasinated with the snow globe. He loved looking at the snow and pushing the button so music would play. Jacob loved it last year, and this year he was so excited when he saw it too.
Mykenzie and Hailey did a beautiful job singing their Christmas song together.
I will have to learn how to put videos on as I have some cute ones of the kids but don't know how to post them yet. Kimmy will have to give me a lesson.
This morning I picked up all the recycling that blew all over the yard when it was so windy the other day. After I got it picked up and some flowers cut down, I went upstairs to use the computer and when I came down, the ground was covered with snow and when I left, the roads were very slippery. What a surprise, and not a nice one either. I slid right by my dad's driveway when I went to see him. A while later Bill came over to dad's and I saw him slide right by his driveway. The roads were much better when I picked Kenzie up from school. Bill got called back in to work and Kenzie and I went to meet Aunt Vikki. Then I took Kenzie to Omi's to spend the night and I went back to dad's for another hour and a half. We had dinner together and a nice visit.

Christmas Cookie Decorating Time Again! What Fun! 11/28/07

We had lots of fun decorating Christmas cookies. I didn't get to do as many as usual because Bill started helping and he and Kenzie had most of them done by the time I got them cut out and baked. I appreciated all their help. My dad was happy to get some and he only had a couple left when I went to his house today. He said my sister, Jody and her hubby helped him eat them and enjoyed them.
You can see my new great grandbaby in the pictures. Kenzie never has like playing with dolls much until just lately. I am enjoying watching her now. Melissa always loved dolls so much, but Kimmy and Vikki only liked their Cabbage Patch Dolls when they were older. Hailey loves dolls just like Melissa did and I love it. Kenzie will probably outgrow this pretty quick so I will enjoy it while I can. She has been playing dolls with Hailey and I think that's why she's into it now.
I am watching Hailey and Max today so I will be taking som. e pictures. I wish I would have taken some of Jacob and Adam the other day, but I just took videos and forgot to take pictures. I will make up for it next time. Nice job on Max's hair Kimmy. You are so talented not to mention so sweet.

Candlewalk 2007

Candlewalk pictures 11/23/07

We had a very nice time at the Candlewalk. Bruce, Melissa, Hailey, Max, Vikki, Rody, Mykenzie, Bill and I went. There were beautiful carolers, Fun and games for the kids, hot cocoa, cookies, and donuts. The walk through the city was peaceful and loved the horse drawn carriages. The horses were just beautiful. Hailey, Max and Kenzie loved the reindeer. Hailey cried and didn't want to leave them.
We dressed in layers so stayed nice and warm even though the temperature was pretty cold out. This is a tradition we have done for many years now and thoroughly enjoy.

These pictures were taken on Thanksgiving Day. It was a nice day with family, although it was hard without my mom here. We missed Kimmy and Jared and the boys too as they were spending the holiday with Jared's family. We did have Truman though so we had a majorily "big" part of the family. We were very thankful for all of our many blessings.
