Just another Day

Thank you Aunt Maggie for my new tea set.....Love, Hannah 

 It is about time....we have something to sit you up little T. 

The bouncer is just not cutting it any more.  You love the bumbo!

Feast of St. Blaise

Breadsticks with Soup.

Merry Christmas!

A few highlights from Christmas Eve and Day

 The Barn. Louis's gift which he became possessive of quite quickly.

 since some of the other littles tryed playing with it....he discreetly climbed on top the couch and stacked pillows around it and whispered to Isabelle: "hide".

So, the sisters fed into it  ("so cute" they told me) and helped him keep it hid.

 We took her out Auntie Margaret after all....it was a beautiful day and glorious sledding,

I gave the "babes" to Pat and took over the sledding duties!

 It was great snow for snowman too. If you look closely you can notice the rosy cheeks

from our leftover cranberries.

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.

Caught in the act

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.
