Valentine's day

My birthday and Valentine's day were fun. I actually tutored at Sylvan both days, but we made up for it by going on two dates on different days of the weeks. It is fun to be spoiled for a month entire. :) We've enjoyed the beautiful flowers Andrew sent for Valentine's day. The kids and I dipped strawberries for Andrew.

Christmas day...

Good reason to come and visit!! ;)

Nativity

Today for Christmas Eve we had a tasty Christmas dinner, read Luke 2 and the kids dressed up, went to look at the magic tree and other Christmas lights, and watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Then the kids took baths and went to bed while Andrew and I played Santa Claus.

The camera said its memory was full, so I took all the pictures off so I could delete them and take pictures tomorrow. Cute little Joseph and Mary. :)

Presents from Grandma and then a BIG MESS!!! But these two had a lot of fun!

These were taken BEFORE the box was dumped as they were getting out. I didn't take any of the real mess...

Bass Pro with friends!

This was taken when we went trick or treating downtown, but I hadn't posted it yet! :)
