6:23 PM |

It was a very special Christmas. Sienna's expression when she saw that Santa had really arrived was priceless. Ruby's enthusiasm when she saw that Santa had delivered on her Unicorn Pillow Pet request was adorable, and Ainsley's joy in sharing it all with her little sisters was so sweet! Seeing the wonder and magic of Christmas through the eyes of our children was the best gift of all!

Sienna and Ruby started playing with their gifts around 11:00am Christmas Day. They took a break only to eat and to sleep. The next day was a repeat! So fun to hear them giggling their heads off. There is no lack of imaginary play over here! Ainsley received "The Flip" from Santa! She has been busy producing videos... How did Santa know that would be the perfect gift for her!

Christmas Eve 2010

We had a lovely Christmas Eve last night, even though a few special people were missing from our table. We enjoyed a beautiful service at our church, and then we had a delicious dinner of surf and turf. Aunt Bop and Little Grandma were here to join in on Sienna's first Christmas! We had a special toast just for her, that she loved!

After dinner, our wonderful neighbors called to invite us over for a special visitor, Santa! So we went over there and surprised the girls. Let's just say the look of awe on their faces when they heard his bells and saw him walk in the door were priceless! Not all caught on film.. but, never to be forgotten!

After we arrived home, I let Sienna and Ruby open just a couple gifts before bed. Ainsley decided she wanted to wait until Christmas morning for any gift opening.. (She's getting so grown up on us!)

Sienna-3In BoxSmallFileBLog

Yesterday a big box of gifts came to our doorstep. You can see who thought
the gift was the box of styrofoam peanuts! Thank you "C" family for
the party in a box! And, thanks Sienna and Ruby for being such great cleaning ladies!!
I know it was worth it!

Blizzard and Christmas Cookies!

9:54 PM |

Yes - We survived the great white snowglobe over the weekend!!! Yes - we did get almost 20" of snow in less than 24 hours! It was a true, Minnesota blizzard!!! I have not seen one like it since I was in college!

We made the most of it! Thankfully, we new it was on it's way so I had everything we needed to hunker in for 2 days! Sienna's reaction when she finally got to go outside, "Awesome!" Awesome indeed! Thanks to Jeff we were able to see the driveway, and get out on Sunday!

The girls kept busy, making Christmas cookies, doing a play for their parents, playing school, playing dolls, and watching movies. Thanks to our resident Camp Director, Ainsley, Sienna and Ruby had a lot to do! We have now made it through the entire "Santa Clause" trilogy and a few other Christmas favorites!

Christmas Musical

6:34 AM |
-8AinsleyCloseupSmallFile

The 4th Graders at Ainsley's School put on the Christmas Musical every year. This year they did, "It's a Wonderful Life." Not the traditional one that we usually see on TV this time of year. But, the real story that we know in the Bible, that the real gift of Christmas is Jesus!

The kids have worked very hard, and they did a beautiful job! Ainsley was the present in this show! She had a big solo at the end, and we are so proud of the way she performed during both performances. She has a gift that has been passed down from some other musicians in our family! We pray she always finds joy in singing and praising God!

This footage is from dress rehearsal! No time to download last night.
But, trust me when I say she did her very best!

(You can mute the music on my blog at the bottom. Slider on the top right corner)

Ainsley's 4th Grade Class at CHA

For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

(Isaiah 9:6)


HAPPY BIRTHDAY Miss LIZ and Aunt TINA!!!! We Love you!
