Special Moments

We have been enjoying this season of Christmas and have been trying to take some opportunities for some special moments with our kids.

Michael and Riley went out for a special Daddy/Son night and saw The Wizard of Oz put on by our local children's theatre. They had a wonderful time!


The three kids and I went with a special friend of our family to a Moravian Love Feast. We had so much fun! We saw how to make candles, enjoyed some yummy sugar cake and lemonade (with only one spill...yikes!), looked at their craft bazaar, and then ended our time with a violin concert of Christmas carols. It was great!


Mary Kenzie and I joined some of our friends and their daughters for a special performance of Disney on Ice! This year it was a princess theme. Mary Kenzie loved it! Even though, Aurora/Sleeping Beauty only skated out at the very end as all the princesses came out to the royal ball, she was Mary Kenzie's favorite part of the show.


We have added a new stocking this year!


One night Annalise was in an exceptionally happy mood so I tried to capture some cute pictures of our baby under her very first Christmas tree! One of the pictures is a little blurry but I still kept it because you can see her little teeth in it. Last month she went from no teeth to 6!




Our baby is growing up! She can now pull herself up on the rail in her crib! Cannot believe she's almost 11 months old!
