The power is out

......but it is beautiful. This picture does not do the landscape justice after the ice storm.
It was fun for the first night using candles, but not when there was no heat.

Happy Hannah

You were just a couple months old when Grandpa and Grandma came to visit and I remember Grandpa commenting on how you were so smiley and dubbed you: Happy Hannah.
You are our happy girl and oh so happy that you are now 5. Today was a long awaited day!
 Dad was impressed you picked pesto pizza and then a list of vegatables: red peppers, not green and yellow and orange peppers, nothing hot and pesto pizza.  
 I was so glad you were content with a ricecrispie cake.
Actually it was good, covered in chocolate, that was your idea.
The crew.
 Mom, mom, take a picture of me.
You kept pestering me to get the mail. "Grandma said that there was something in the mail."
It came!  Drew always take it upon himself to read the card to all.
 
 Trying to model the clip on earrings, but I think it became a squeezing contest,
what sisterly love.

St. Nicholas Day

This will be our first year experiencing a "santa's helper" from the first child to find out.
I attended Advent by Candelight at the parish to come home and find surprises to me.
The kids had remembered to put shoes out and were considerate of Dad and clean carpet. 
-Note the spelling
 In Dad's shoe: licoriesh...just drawn on the paper
 Love, Santu
Its the thought that counts.

Little T



 

Goofy boys

Party favors from our god daughters bday party. The Dad picked out some fun boy items.




Ho-ho

No, we are not talking St. Nick here. Louis' vocab is still limited, yet we understand most he says.
Ho-ho = horse and it is his favorite thing. I think his love was kicked off from the Misty movie Grandma shared with us.
He carries 1 of the 3 ho-ho books around with him or one of the horses from the toy box wherever he goes and just loves for the books to be read. 
Here he is giving out a whinny.
