We did some sledding in the last couple of days of Christmas Break!  Here are a few highlights

 

Mom got my name this year and she gave me a new nativity set that I got to open early!! Now, I promise that I will stop whining about wanting a new one!

Christmas play at Church

 

The kids did a quick little play at CCD last week!  here is Maggie as a sheep and Grant in the choir!

Maggie's Kindermusik performance today!  A star in the making!

Kindermusik Graduation

Here is Maggie's Kindermusik performance for the end of the year!  They each get to do a solo!  This song is one from Grant's older class that she has been hearing so much!

Thanksgiving 2010

What a beautiful Thanksgiving Day here in Spokane, WA!! So much powedery white snow that we had to test out the hill in our back yard!

Birthday extravaganza!

Well, I think we survived the Grant's 5th birthday! 3 parties and 1 head injury later we are happy to back at Monday and eagerly awaiting Grandma and Papa King's arrival! I couldn't help but reflect this weekend on the ever so familiar phrase used by many Mom's, " I can't believe my baby is getting so big". The tug at your heart seeing your little people grow is unbelievable and indescribable. While most days I am blessed to spend so much time with Grant and Maggie, I find it particularly satisfying to experience these landmark days with them. They are truly two amazing people and I learn more from them every day!

Maggie had her first head injury on Sunday! The doctor was able to glue it back together instead of using stiches...thank god! She was super brave and Grant was a great big brother! He was riding his new bike and Maggie ran in front of him. They collided and Maggie tumbled on the road! Lots of blood but luckily a treatable injury!

All in all a successful birthday weekend!
