Princess Birthday Party!

Today we celebrated Kit's 5th and Winnie's 3rd birthdays at home with Grace, Gage, Scarlett, Nicholas, and Nova. Understandably, the weather kept some people from coming, but we still had a fun time and appreciated the Swaisgoods and Rostons for braving the snowy roads. We are also thankful that everyone who came made it home safe and sound!

Kit's 5th Birthday!

Today we celebrated Kitster's 5th birthday! We had lunch at "My McDonald's," picked out treats at a bakery, and opened a few presents. Kit loves to write and asks how to spell all kinds of words. She enjoys filling her purses with jewelry, playing with babies and dollhouses, and going to school. Currently her favorite song is "Bringing Home My Baby Bumblebee," and her favorite food is "soynut butter and jelly sandwiches."

Kit and Winnie like to pin one another down and give zerberts!

Mouse Skills

Doc worked with Winnie on her mouse skills. She's getting there!

Early Birthday Gift

Big Grandpa and Grandma Lovie brought an early birthday gift today...a princess tent! This is perfect for the girls' princess birthday party theme.

Muuuuuah!

I'm not sure if this kiss was motivated by Kit's excitement to return to preschool today or just sisterly love!

Make It Monday: Cinderella Coloring Books

Kit came up with our craft for today: Cinderella Coloring Books. Thanks to Google Images, we found just the right pictures for each girl's book.

Zech's Farewell

Zech had a final dinner with Gail and family as we joined together at the Embassy Suites Airport Hotel to wish him well as he leaves for the Army. He'll be headed to South Carolina on Monday for Basic Training. God bless Zech and all of those who serve our country.

Gage's 2nd Birthday Party

On Saturday we celebrated Gage's 2nd birthday in Bowling Green at his dance party. He was a funny little guy and enjoyed dancing and exploring the DJ's gear. Th heat wasn't working properly, but that didn't stop anyone from having a great time!

New Year's Eve-Christmas Celebration

Despite Grandma Lovie and Big Grandpa being under the weather, we celebrated Christmas together on New Year's Eve. Kit and I had fun preparing some special Army decorations for the occasion to honor Zech's departure next week.

Kit's Gift to God

During the children's message at church, the children were asked what kinds of gifts that they could give to God. Kit raised her hand and answered, "hearts." The children were all given a card and post-it note, and here's what Kit made for God.
