HA DOUGH DOUGH (Hot Cocoa)

Mmmmm, Mmmmmm Good!

It's Snowing.....

The Neighborhood Bunch...
I always love the first snow, it makes the world so quiet and peaceful, and fun too. I love how my kids press their faces against the windows (okay I don't love cleaning the windows off) and get very crazy running from window to window. Then we get everyone bundled, it is amazing how long it takes with four little people, then outside they go. Catching the flakes on their tongues, trying to make snowballs, the works! Then it's as Kate calls it...HA Dough dough time!(HotCocoa) You should hear her say it fast she sounds bilingual.

Chhheeerriooos!!!

When I asked Alexa to see where Kate had gone I didn't expect it to come with a little bribery scheme. She always has something up her sleeve.












Before I knew it I heard Alexa calling, "Here puppy, puppy", and Kate panting promptly behind her. Eating cheerios off the floor and thinking it was the BEST!



I think Alexa likes to be in control while the big kids are gone and lucky for her, Kate thinks it is wonderful too.

I have finally joined the rest of you bloggers! I always feel like I am in last place for this technical stuff. For those of you who know how long it took me to be consistant with email I hope you don't kill over that I am finally up and blogging. I can hardly believe it myself. So give me awhile if I starts out a little rusty!

Oh Christmas Tree! OH CHRISTMAS TREE!

Here they are, the five tree hunters at "Hank's Christmas Tree Lot" with their final choice. Phew!!!!!
Dwane is all set in his lumberjack jacket to chop it down.

Kate's Second Birthday!

Kate had a wonderful birthday all she wanted for her birthday was M&M's, so all the way home from the store she had M&M's, with lunch she had M&M's and on her cake she had M&M's. It was glorious!

What a fun kid! She brings so much joy to our family!

The Spooky Bunch

Madeline's Dad for the last few years has encouraged Madeline to be something other than a princess. So this year she was a vampiress!
Robb wanted to be Harry Potter, but when I made the suggestion of dying his hair brown he quickly change his mind and said he just wanted to be a plain wizard.
Alexa has a small obsession with elephants so when we found this costume on the clearance rack in her size we new it was meant to be.
Kate our little "Bebug" as she called it wore her costume almost out before Halloween arrived.
A Ladybug accompanied me often on errands!

The Young's

Just Happy to BE....
