A new school for Elliot...

As many of you know we had been having some difficulties at Elliots school. I think that we basically had some differences in opinion when it came to teaching him among other things. However, the exciting news is after much contemplation and visiting other schools Elliot will be a student at Ebenezer Christian School in January. We really feel like we have been led to this school and that it will be the best situation for our little family. The teachers were so nice and seemed to really love their jobs as well as their students. We are so excited for this new adventure and feel really blessed to have other options.

Elliot is sick and taking naps in the middle of the day.

Elliot is sick, and taking naps in the middle of the day with no prompting. Oh my poor little monkey i know he sick because he looks miserable but also because it has been virtually impossible to get him to nap since he was two years old. So Grace is loving that the tv is on almost permanently right now. We also kept ourselves busy making sugar cookies. I am so proud of her and her growing cooking skills she is quite handy with a rolling pin and a cookie cutter.

A Sneak Peek...Dress Rehearsal:)

I can't not begin to explain how adorable these little 3 and 4 year old girls are. They are not synchronized at all and they are running not eachother but they are so happy and proud of themselves. I think the best part of being a parent is watching your children as they play happily completely care free and innocently. I tried to video with my camera its not the best so pics will have to do for now. You will just have to wait until Saturday for the full effect of the performance. Thanks for reading our blog which is full of me being ridiculously proud of my kids and their tiny accomplishments.

Our Christmas Tree.

We got our Christmas Tree. Thanks to my Dad who agreed to go earlier than he likes so my sister and I could get our trees. My Dad would really love it if we went two days before Christmas to get our tree. We go every year to the same tree farm on South Pass Road to get our tree, it is very small and there aren't a bunch of crazy people around. Actually I don't think there has ever been anyone else there when we are. This was the first year that there wasn't snow on the ground , Brian was happy because we could actually see the trees. Elliot loves to pick out my Moms tree and Grace thinks any tree that is the same height as she is is the "perfect" tree. This was also the first year that my sister joined and her first year with her own tree. This is a wonderful tradition I hope we continue forever.

The Angry Blueberry Strikes Again.

I catered a surprise birthday party on Friday night. It was an appetizer party for 26. It was so much fun, I love feeding people. I didn't have time to take pictures of everything. The two pictures are of chicken satay and calypso shrimp.

Lighted Christmas Parade.

As many of you know we attend "the little white church with the big heart" aka Lynden Community Church, this year we had the opportunity to sing carols before the parade started with some other members. Other than the rain it was so much fun.

I know this is a little late....Thanksgiving

I didn't really take that many pictures on Thanksgiving. My mom cooked a 23lb bird it looked lie it was on steroids(it tasted amazing). We played games and ate way to much.
