Face Painting

Tonight we went to the Main Street Arts Festival.  A cold front blew in today, and it was really cold and windy down there tonight!  But we braved the weather and checked out some really cool art.  Of course, the kids' favorite part was getting their faces painted.

Singing Old McDonald

Findley loves to sing and dance when she reads her Old McDonald book. And we love listening to her.

Walker's Birthday Party

Walker had a great birthday. He spent part of the day reading his new comic book at the park, then we went to eat pizza and he got some awesome firefighter gear.

It was a beautiful day for his birthday party, and many of his school friends joined him at Castle Park to run around and eat cake/fruit pops. Later, family and close friends came back to our house to continue the celebration. It was a great day!

Playgrounds

We've been to lots of playgrounds recently!

Crazy Hair

Fun at the Museum

Vacation Video

We had a great trip to New Mexico last week. We ate good food, saw great friends, and enjoyed spending time in the mountains. Here's a video of some of the highlights.

Feeding Baby

Findley loves to take care of her baby.  Here she is feeding her some pancakes and eggs. Apparently, Baby doesn't like carrots.

Holiday Photos

We had a great holiday with family and friends. Here are some of our favorite photos.

Walker and Findley love to curl up together to watch movies and read books. We enjoy these times, because we know they won't be doing this when they're teenagers!

The kids met Santa a couple of weeks before Christmas and told him what they wanted. This visit went a lot better than the last time they met him.

Another cuddling photo. We can't have too many of these!

Marmee took this photo one day when she was at the park with the kids. It's one of our favorite shots of the past year.

Findley and Rosie took a nice photo together...

...but Walker just wanted to act silly.

We really tried to get a family photo, but this is the best we could do. Not exactly what we had in mind for a Christmas card image.

We had some time to hang around the house to take portraits.

And even Walker let us take his photo once or twice.

Findley pranced in her new shades...

...while Walker rocked out in his.

We got to spend time with some of our cousins.

And we wore lots of Santa hats.

Walker showed off one of his silly faces...

...while Findley showed off the only silly face she knows. (This photo is an extremely rare example of Findley sitting near food but not stuffing it into her mouth.)

Walker learned how to play Wii.

And Findley rode her new horse.

We played in the snow on Christmas Day.

Some of us liked the snow more than others.

Findley showed her friends how to open Christmas presents.

We rode the train in the Stockyards...

...and we all stayed awake! (This is also an uncommon occurrence.)

We spent a great holiday together!
