Christmas at our house!

Here's the picture I wish I would have had for my Christmas card! (Unfortunately, Lexi was running a fever and not feeling well over Christmas.)

She did manage to open a few gifts, though! Emily loves her "Barbie as the Island Princess" doll. Such a long name for such a small doll. And of course, Kyle loves to play games and was thrilled with Apples to Apples for kids his age. Mom and Dad also got some gifts... Kyle was an elf in the School's Christmas program. He did well, but was a little nervous.... We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas as we remember the gift God gave to us, His son.

Emily and Alexis

thought I'd put on a few pictures of the girls as well.................

Birthday Party time!!

We had a birthday party for Kyle on Friday after school. Eight Kindergarteners (and Emily).....What a brave mother........... My efforts at cake decorating.............................. My efforts at pinata making.............. The Party Crowd................................

The games we played... "pin the ear on mickey mouse", a bean bag toss (thanks to grandma K. for making the bean bags), and a pinata ( was fun to make, but a lot of work.) The Birthday Boy.......................................

The kindergarten class, plus Emily. Amber was there also, she just didn't want to take the picture. The Party was a blast, Kyle had a good time, but it sure makes for tired kids when all is said and done.

Wow! Look at that.... I figured out how to make it pretty!!!!

Update

Here are Kyle and Emily ready for AWANA.

This is Kyle and Emily decorating my birthday cake. (with Kim's help of course.)

Grandma Yoder also had a birthday! (hers was a bit before mine... Just can't seem to get the pictures in the right order.)

The day I kept Kallen. Lexi had lots of fun playing with him.

JALEN'S WEDDING

Doesn't look like Kyle was enjoying himself much!

We had a good time though. The weather was nice. And the setting was beautiful!

Doesn't look like Emily had much fun at the hotel!

This is just a cute picture of my little baby who is growing up so fast.

Hope everyone is doing well!

The Twins Game!

We went to the see the Twins play on September 15th. Kyle had been waiting all summer to go to "the territory". He had a great time. Alexis and Emily got a bit tired before the game was done, but overall I think everyone had a good time, even though the Twins lost.

Kyle heads off to Kindergarten
