Snow Drifts and a Sick Girl!

We woke up to a ton of snow on Saturday morning. I'm sure it would have been fun to play in, but Lola has been sick all weekend coughing and fighting high fevers. Kasey was the only one who "played" in the snow as he used the four-wheeler to clear the neighborhood driveways!

A view of the snow from our window.

This is how Lola was most of the weekend.

This is Lola when the Tylenol kicked in - - the fun only lasted about and hour and she was back to the couch in misery :(.


Liv was such a trooper while we cared for the sick patient. Here she is sucking her fingers while I comforted her sick sister.

Olivia's New Talent

Olivia had us all laughing last night. She's discovered how to make silly noises by blowing through closed lips. Take a look....

Ella's Christmas Program

Ella's daycare had a Christmas Program last night at the Ramada. Ella sang Christmas songs and recited two poems with her class. She looked so old in her Christmas dress...our littlest niece is growing up so fast! Unfortunately, the pictures of her on stage did not turn out because of the lighting, but I did get some good shots of the girls playing and of Lola singing and dancing....she wanted to be on stage with Ella!

Five Little Friends

On Saturday, we took care of the Hindal girls (Bryannah 3, Caitlyn 1 and Sarah Grace 6 months). Our girls are very similar ages and had fun playing together.....

Cookies!


Say Cheese!

"Girls' Night Out"

Our church womens' group had a progressive supper to celebrate the holidays. We went to Nancy Corrente's home for appetizers (salad, stuffed mushrooms and jalapeno poppers), Mom's for the main course (baked steak, scalloped potatoes, and sweet potato casserole) and Dianna Bislow's for dessert and gifts (chocolate mint cake and cranberry tea). The food was great and it was fun to have a night out with friends. Kasey and Shannon stayed home with Ella, Lola and Olivia....they watched a lot of car shows!

My mom, "the hostess".


This is what was referred to as the "kiddie table"......


...at one point we laughed 'til we cried!
