The three girls have been busy. Alia wove this mat, Elena "wove" at the sampler on the floor loom, and Mom wove the sampler.

Daddy was excited and said things like "ooo. Pretty."

Tanner was not impressed. He said things like, "Mom, when are you going to stop weaving. I don't like all that weaving and knitting stuff."

Wow! Look who had a birthday!

She's wearing a crown from her Nursery Class. She got lots of fun toys. She got to eat chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream.

Birthday's are awesome!

Family togetherness is taking a movie on the exercise ball. :)

Here's the cutest birthday girl in the world! Here she is modeling her new, mommy-made sweater vest.



















Daddy fell asleep. Heart decided he was still soft enough and warm enough to be considered a "lap".










And this is what my children call a "Cat Door". It's a few bean bags stacked on top of each other, with two children leaning against them to keep the cat from "escaping" from the craft room (where his food and litter box are).

Sunday afternoons are best for building block creations with Dad. Watch this one fly!

This is just another picture of three cute kids! Aren't they amazing!

Happy New Year!

This is how we ride the pony...Thanks, Daddy!

















There was a pony that lived in the Christmas village. After many hours of entertaining little Elena, the poor horse had to be put down. The gazebo she's touching was his house.















The black thing Tanner's holding is a picture stand. It usually rests on the piano and holds 5x7 cards. Every visit, Tanner takes the cards off and turns the stand into a rocket.

("Just like I used to do", says his Dad!)
