Dress Up

What a fun day celebrating our friends' movie premiere! They made a "Hunger Games" fan film-fun! We dressed up as citizens from the capital and John is Haymitch (played by Woody Harrelson).

Christmas Gathering

Our friends invited us to their home for a Christmas gathering. This year we made peppermint hot cocoa to give as gifts...oh, and bacon salt for the bacon lover!

Thanksgiving 2013 with Friends

Usually we spend Thanksgiving with my family, but no one was available this year! So I set to work making my own turkey dinner. At the last minute, it turned out that our sweet friends were able to come over and spend the afternoon and evening with us! Which was brave of them because this was my first Thanksgiving dinner! We took a nice walk at dusk and totally enjoyed being thankful together!

Our Friend's Farm

What a treat today was! We got to spend some time with friends...always wonderful to visit them! We were delighted and surprised to see they added more chickens, a milk cow and baby goats to their farmyard! Sarah was enchanted with picking up the chickens and avoiding the goat "hugs" and she actually got to milk the cow (me, too)! I did not know that unlike horses, cows cannot kick back, only to the side...horses kick back and not to the side. Have to keep my animals straight or I'll get walloped! Daniel was NOT at all interested and took into the house with the other boys (who were not out climbing the tree) to the computer screen to learn "Comic Life". What a blessing to be able to be with friends today! P.S. Thanks for the birthday brownies!

This Friday Was Really GOOD!

In years past, we've colored Easter eggs with the Gs and this year we finally got together again. What a delight to have them over to celebrate Good Friday!

Day in the SUN! MORE Legos!

What a glorious day! Sunshiney! We met with some LOL friends at the Broadway park and then home to delight in new lego sets!

We recently decided that Legos are an important part of our Lifestyle of Learning (aka-curriculum!) So we treated the kids to some special choices this afternoon at Target. They had a BALL diving in and building! I love Legos!
