Mimi at her surprise birthday party!

Mom turned 60 on December 27! I put together a surprise birthday lunch for her with some of her Tuesday Bible study friends and Tracie, Jan, & Judy. Tracie picked her up and brought her to Flowerdale Cafe', so she didn't expect anything at all. She and Tracie usually go to lunch for each other's birthdays. We had lots of fun!

Snow! SNOW! Snow!

Connor's first solid foods: applesauce & cereal

So, it has snowed 3 times in only one month!! We woke up to our first white Christmas ever on Christmas morning. It was so beautiful. The snow was coming down hard and fast, but it soon melted. Then, on January 10th, we got 8 inches of snow!! We played in the snow with our neighborhood friends. We met up at the levee and went down the hill on our make-shift Mississippi sleds. Weston had the best time. Connor got out in the snow only for a photo or two. Otherwise, we kept him warm and cozy so he wouldn't get sick. Connor bundled up in a fleece cow outfit. He was so cute. Later that day, he tasted his first solid foods. It snowed again last night, but it has already melted.

Have A Holly Jolly Christmas!

Will & I are so excited this Christmas about starting a new tradition. We are having a birthday party for Jesus on Christmas morning. Will is going to make us pancakes for breakfast. We will sing "Happy Birthday" to Jesus and blow out a birthday candle. Then, we are going to read the story of Jesus's birth before opening presents. We are trying to make sure Christ is the center of Christmas, so our children will know the real reason we celebrate.

His Thanksgiving poem/art work from school

We went to Weston's first school program in November. It quite possibly was the cutest thing I have ever seen. I didn't know if Weston would actually perform when he saw the large audience, but our little ham had no problem putting on a show! His group sang "10 Little Indian Children", "5 Little Hot Dogs", and "Jesus Loves Me". Will & I were such proud parents. We look forward to many more school programs in the future.
