What's Been Happening

These three beautiful kids have been so great in 2015!
 
 
Levi found out that his Captain America helmet can shoot out little darts.  I have been hit a couple times.  Those things shoot far!

 
Erika has a writing assignment for school where she keeps a journal of all the fun things she does with her Flat Stanley.  It is a lot of fun to read her writing style....she is quite creative!

 
It has been sunny (but cold) most days so we get to play outside after school.  Levi made stripes in the yard.

 
And Erika cleaned off the patio.

Parties

We celebrated Laurel's sixth year over a period of a week.  Starting with a celebration at Grandpa and Grandma Hammar's house.
 
They bought the birthday princess a special ribbon to wear all day.  Which she did.

Levi loved playing with Ezra and the train set.

We were blessed with a  beautiful day so the kids got to play outside for a while.  A ride in the wagon for the birthday girl.

Cupcakes.


Laurel and Levi were the only ones who got the "silly face" message.

New bears, clothes, and Calico Critters!

 
On her actual birthday, Laurel wanted two friends to come over after church for a little party.  She wanted it to be a "Frozen" party.  So we decorated with snowflakes and icicles and played Pin the Nose on Olaf.


 
And ate cupcakes and cookies.


 
And opened presents!

 
Erika got to hold the youngest party guest.

 
Laurel and her girlfriends putting on makeup.


Perfect parties for our special 6 year old!
