Grace playing her flute

This is her first year and I must say the flute section

did a fabulous job!

Bravo!

Isabel singing "Our God is so big"

cracking us up!

Its a family tree

Little People Nativity

all lined up in a row by Isabel.

I think she was lining them up to for Scooby to use

as a hurdle while he chased her through the kitchen,

which he cleared wonderfully.

Chilly Winter Days

Yesterday was cold and the snow was staying around.
 A perfect day for sledding.
Mike and the girls headed out with our neighbors to the nearest hill.

Isabel loved every minute of it and hung in there

without a complaint.

There she goes...

They tried out many different sleds,

with a consensus that the round ones were the fastest.

Did the hill all.by.herself.

without any fear.

Isabel pulling up two sleds.

Girl Power.

Did you sled when you were a kid?

We did.

But always down some huge mountain of a hill

and at the bottom had to hit a jump to

cross a stream.

It always ended in casualties.

Happy Sledding this winter!
