Preschool Christmas program

I really like Elijah's preschool.  I debated on sending him this year but it has turned out to be a great thing for him.  He loves to attend.  The best part of this time and season is they can actually have a Christmas program and call it what it is.   They sing songs about Jesus' birth.  The school is connected with the Lutheran church so the program is in their sanctuary.    There are some cute videos of mainly Elijah but you can tell most of them had trouble sitting still.  

being sneaky

One of our traditions each year during the Christmas season is to be sneaky.  Wouldn't you love to come across these three in the dark?   We do hope we bring joy to those we are sneaky with.

And this gets me caught up from the last month and half.  Whew! 

blankets

Our young women decided it would be fun to make fleece blankets for each other.  All of the girls were pleased with their blankets.  It was fun to have them over last night after they caroled at a nursing home.  These are some of the best young ladies I know.  

Cute pic

Jarom's teacher sent me this cute picture of him.  They were dissecting owl pellets and he was having a great time with his finds.  

It's wet out folks

It has rained so much the last few weeks.  Our yard is one big puddle of water and mud.  

Best soup ever

This is Nathan's homemade chicken noodle soup and it is so yummy.  This is actually the one meal all of our kids will eat and that is saying something.  

Soccer season ends

Jarom's soccer season started in mid August and the last game was a couple of weekends ago.  They had their awards party today.  They always go bowling.

The team missing 2 though. 

I didn't get too many pictures of Sadie.  This game was cold to watch and play in.  This is also the game where the cold ball smashed her in the face.  She made the varsity team and they had a rough season with all loses.
