Picture Princess

Here she is Shabby Apple!

She is a princess in her very own way. Her shy smile when she meets someone new, the way she stands up for herself to her three big brothers, and her silly side when she can't quit giggling. She brought pink to our home and a presence that has no words.
These are the ways she is our picture princess.

What It's Like To Be a Kid at Christmas

Oh, I love Christmas morning just to see the looks on their faces. The joy of giving really is better than receiving! We had a good holiday season and the whole spirit of it. We had snow the whole week of Christmas which added to the atmosphere. Now it is January. Christmas decorations come down and we all get to set those fabulous new years resolutions. I think everyone hopes they can do better in some way and it's nice to have a fresh start. We didn't start out the year on a great note; we all got the stomach flu but fortunately everyone was over and done with it in about three days so we are grateful for that. Hopefully we are done with that for a long time. Our kids are "off track" (year round school lingo) until the end of January so we are looking forward to a trip to CO this month and spending lots of time sledding and enjoying the snow. (that might last for a week) We will survive!
