Smiles for Valentine's Day, as all of the girls found lovely red roses waiting for them. The little girls were thrilled were their candies and flowers.
Christmas morning was the Santa loot. After church on Sunday, we the fun from the parents, Papa and Grandma and others. And, oh what fun it was. We all had our favorites, and generated a good deal of "trash". Oh yeah, and decorating Christmas cookies with Grandma. That means more for me to eat. Merry Christmas!
Christmas morning came early (but not too early), since we had a 7:00 AM limit. However, 7:01 meant Anna was in our room waking us up. So, off we went to see what Santa had left for us. Lots of excitement from all.
While in Kentucky, the cousins headed off to Boyd Orchards for a chilly afternoon of fun. What fun all the kids had playing King of the Hill (with hay bales) sliding on really big slides and other cool stuff. What a great memory for all of them.
Since Addlea has been in college, we have taken a fall trip each year to visit her at Trinity University in northern Chicago. This year, Papa and Grandma also came ... and we celebrated Tyler's birthday, nice weather, and lots of fun.
Tyler's birthday cupcakes, were designed like some sort of fish.
Jenna insisted that Tyler kiss his fish ... so there he goes to please a 3 year old.
