Congratulations, Jen!

So proud of Jen! She's been anxiously awaiting the results of choir auditions for next year...and she just found out she (along with two of her best friends) made it into the top choir!! Hooray! She LOVES choir, and she's going to have so much fun! :D

Flying

Mike's friend just gave this RC helicopter to Jer. It just so happens this is the very one he has been checking out online for WEEKS! Anyway, I went to go pick up Jess from a party, and when I returned 45 minutes later, he had built a helipad. Of course. :) Mr. Creator strikes again!

Jess...

Jess just retold the entire first chapter of "The Secret Garden" to me after running off to a corner to read it. Hmmm. I think she's getting it! (Jen gave it to her, much to my surprise, after Jess had been complaining for a few days that the books on her shelves were too simple.) Hmmm....

Jen's "Stitches"!

Jen just finished this gorgeous new skirt! She did almost the whole thing herself (she used the new machine she got for Christmas)! I'm so proud of her!

Hooray for Saturday!

Fruit always looks yummier on Bountiful Baskets morning!

It's a Perfect Christmas Eve!

Jen's at her friend's house, Jer's snowboarding down at the pit, and Jess's sledding! Jonathan's "hybernating". There's the fluffiest snow falling. The tree lights are sparkling. I'm about to put turkey in the crock pot. Dad's here. I just talked to Mom. Mike's wrapping up to take a week off. Love it!

Snow Day!

We woke up this morning to a wonderful new blanket of snow.

Jess ran down the hall and shouted, "Look!  My very first birthday present of the day from Mother Nature!!!"  :)
