Singing and Dancing

One of the library reading hours had a special guest from a local dance studio. There wasn't as much dancing as their was marching that took place, but Alli loved it all the same.

Alli has also been begging us to become a Ninja. So we are looking into getting her into a martial arts program here in town. I think this would help her become more independent and confident.

This is the very sad face of a little boy who dropped mommy's expensive camera and was worried that either 1. he would get in trouble or 2. that he broke it. Either way, he was too pitiful to yell at and he didn't hurt it anyway. I love how sweet and concerned he can get about others and their feelings.

Christmas Morning

Santa came...and they were excited to see what he brought for them.

The kids were both very excited to get the scooter and bike. They couldn't wait a moment to ride them.

Christmas Video

Ben has wanted to create a video with firetrucks or ambulances to music for some time. We had the perfect set of employees currently working with us to put on the task. We had a lot of fun making it and were entirely too silly the whole time.

The video turned out pretty well for the first time creating one. Our favorite part is the mistake made by Nick not realizing his arm would be in the shot. It ends up looking like Mickey Mouse's arm from Fantasia. We joked that all he needed was a white glove on to complete it. It was fun though!

Sugar Cookie Outtakes

We've had fun starting a yearly tradition of making a batch of sugar cookies before Santa comes. This year I caught a pictures that just make me smile.

The tongue sticking out is proof his concentration was extreme!

giggles and grins

this one....this one just makes me laugh. Love this little boy!!

Santa 2014

The kids got to meet this sweet Santa at the craft fair I worked.

Merry Christmas

The kids were so cute Sunday that I decided to take a few pictures for Christmas before letting them change after church. I love Alli's cheesy smile and raised eyebrows in the first one.
