I saw this great idea on GirlTalk. The kids loved it! Miles has a cute song to go with his turkey craft :-)
So much fun and the boys got quite a sugar rush afterward! These turkeys didn't make it to see Thanksgiving!
Miles is loving kindergarten. He loves all the art projects. He is constantly singing songs that he has learned and is very expressive with his hand motions :-) Super cute!!!!!! He is making new friends and loves his teacher. I love kindergartners! Today they had a mini Thanksgiving feast and tasted all the traditional Thanksgiving food.
I picked this book up at Lakeshore Learning Store along with multi colored stamp set. My kids love arts and crafts. A great gift idea! We also have a drawing book from the same artist. The kids use it a lot! Most of kids drawing books are hard for the little kids to do but Miles could follow along each step all by himself back when he was 4. Mason is 7 and really enjoys it too!
Our church (FBC) put on a great community festival yesterday!! Thank you to all that helped make it such a fantastic event.
This was early before it got crowded. It was so cool how many people showed up.
This is Elijah. He is so ADORABLE!!!!!! He was going to give the roses to Ellie but he got shy :-)
Danielle admiring Jenny's pretty baby Emery.
Jake and David were a big hit with making balloon animals.
Cousin Wesley, Miles, and Mason.
I can't believe it has been a year already! Ellie is such a blessing. Her brothers love her more than I ever thought they could and I love this precious girl more than I can tell you. Thank you God for this amazing gift of life!!! Lord give me wisdom in raising her.
David (and Hao) are baby magnets! Everytime they come over they grab Ellie. She loves those guys. Avary (Jake and Lauren's daughter) is so adorable and such a chatter box. It is so much fun to watch them!
The boys think this is the best place on earth. Mason and Miles are part of a Lego club and got 3 one day tickets to Legoland. Awesome!
These boys really need a haircut!
Poor girl is going to need braces on those teeth.
We attended Pat and Eleni's beautiful wedding last week. She was absolutely gorgeous! Eleni also has inner beauty. Her character is just as radiant. What a wonderful couple that desires to serve and glorify God. We are so happy for them! The one picture I got of them was blurry :-( I can't wait to see Tracy's pictures of them. Where was Tracy when I got married?? So anyways here we are with some fabulous friends on a beautiful evening.
I love Rosy to pieces!!!
And beautiful Lauren is expecting baby #2 very soon!!!
These ladies are truly amazing! Love them all!!
This next one below cracks me up. Look at Eric "the Bachelor" (on the far right), he is giving his male model pose. HA!! Hey gals he is still single!!!
Erick with Eric the younger.
My friend Danielle had a beautiful baby girl last week. Desiree is so precious!!! I love seeing Danielle as a mommy. She is doing such a wonderful job. It is going to be so fun watching Desiree and Ellie grow up and play together!
This is another great book born from an amazing blog, The Art of Manliness. And what a great gift idea!
Personally, I love the "Manly Advice Section" on how to soothe a crying baby :-)
If you don't know the Pioneer Woman already you really need to! I want to run away with my family and be a Pioneer Woman, except without the cows :-) I got her new cookbook in the mail last week. Fabulous! This would make a great Christmas gift! BTW: I still have never won any of her contests! What is up with that?!!
Here is a link to The Pioneer Woman's Cookbook
And Bakerella has posted a sneak peek inside the Pioneer Woman's cookbook.
