Planes from last Christmas

Last Christmas I made planes for several of my kid relatives and Joel.  I never posted them, so here they are now.

Tie Die

Rebekah organized a really cool home school event where they made tie die shirts.  The ones Rachel, Joel, and Rebekah made look great!

Labor Day Project

Now the kids can do their art on the table with a nice easel.  This one folds right up for storage, and has clips on both sides so both Rachel and Joel can do art at the same time.  We can clamp it to the table so it won't move around.

This is the frame. I cut 2x3s into 5/8 inch boards and then joined them together using biscuits.

I glued on some 3/16 inch plywood to be the hard surface and screwed on some balloon clips to hold the paper.

Anna's 1 Year Photoshoot

Anna Loves the Fairy Garden

Anna likes to walk away from the camera. She's got more important things to do.

She's So Cute!!!

Fairy Gardens are Fun

I love my Daddy!

I love my Mommy!

She can just close her eyes for a bit.

Uh Oh

She's got a rock!

Look in my mouth!

Christmas 2016 (a little late)

We had a good Christmas this year. We saw both sides of our extended family and didn't have to drive hours and hours to see anyone because we are all now local! YAY!

Rachel was a baker in her ballet recital before Christmas.

We attempted a family photo before Christmas. It's pretty tricky to get a baby to smile on command.

Christmas Eve night we went to my parents.  Anna enjoyed herself.

I broke Mom's food processor 15 year ago... I bought her a new one for Christmas.

Joel got a cool Star Wars ball for Christmas

Anna wants that ball!

Christmas Morning Dave and Jill came over.  Rachel supervises Joel as he opens presents.

Rachel got a very large doll house for Christmas.  She is pretty excited.

Look! Someone took a picture of me!

Everyone helps Anna open her presents.

Rachel loves Grandpa!

Happy Halloween!

Rebekah, Joel, and Rachel made stuffed peppers for dinner on Saturday night.  They were yummy.

Holy Cow! Look at all that candy that the kids brought in when Trick Or Treading at my office and around our neighborhood.

They are all so cute together!

Rachel wanted to show off some of her candy.

If only we could get Anna to smile tonight...

Baby smiles are the best. Here is her smiling Sunday.

Smiles

Joel can smile.

Rachel can smile too.

Anna is thinking about smiling.

She is working up to a smile.

Anna can smile!!!
