experimenting. . .

I had some time tonight to play with this photo. . .as you can tell, Grant LOVES to carry the dog around the house.

Merry Christmas!

We had some very shocked boys this morning after they saw that Santa brought them a new puppy named Wrigley! This picture of Cole captures just how thrilled they are!

The boys made their annual gingerbread houses with grandma and uncle brett.

Pre-K Christmas Program

Grant had his Christmas Program at school today. He doesn't really like to be "in front of" people. Thankfully he got the part of "stable!" Here he is peeking out from behind the stable!

Happy Birthday, Luke!

Amazing that Luke is 7 already! We are so blessed to have him in our family. Luke is so responsible, sometimes I forget. . .He is only 7! I am thankful for his helpfulness, kind spirit and his deep desire to learn.

Luke got to celebrate his birthday on Wednesday night with his cousins at Cici's Pizza. . .his pick, of course.
Today we went to grandpa and grandma Waliczek's for dinner and we enjoyed a fish cake that mommy made.Two big surprises: Nintendo DS from mom and dad and a new bike from grandpa and grandma!

First Snow

We had our first snow. . .and our first school delay yesterday. The kids were thrilled and couldn't wait to get out to play! From the looks of it, they might get to enjoy another delay and another 3-4 inches tomorrow!
