December 2011

I finally decided that it was time to finish up 2011.  So, here are all the pictures from December (I think).  Hope you enjoy them!  I like that Blogger is letting me upload all the pictures at once...and in the right order.  That may actually inspire me to update more often.  Maybe.


Haven and Ethan watching a video.  I love the little hands on the face!

Sarah and Andrew doing their school...such diligent students

Sarah, Andrew, Rachel painting Andrew's model

ingredients for fudge!!

FUDGE!!!  We made 2 of these huge pans of fudge

Christmas cookies--Ethan and the girls (and mom) decorated them

Peter, Daniel, Jonathan, and Nathaniel in Sunday School on
Christmas Day--notice all the suits and red:)
Grandma and Grandpa H. with all the grandkids

Our family

Just a cute picture of Haven

Sweet Ethan

Nathan decided to take a nap in the middle of things!

Guess who didn't want his picture taken?!?!

Dad playing with Ethan and Haven (actually, it was more like refereeing...
Haven didn't want to share Ethan's toy!)

A picture is worth a thousand words

My parents

Us

My dad with Andrew's new Army hat (my dad was in the army in Vietnam)

Run, Ethan, run!!

TOUCHDOWN!!!  He won something like 27-3
 (or whatever score he told everyone a  zillion times!!)

All ready to go out..."Somebody open the door, NOW!"
She stayed out for about 5 minutes.  It takes so long to get
them dressed for 5 minutes of outside time.






Well, that'll do it for now.  It's January 13, 2012 and as I type, it's finally snowing.  We've had such a mild winter so far.  I think it has snowed a couple of times, but not enough to shovel.  It's usually gone in a few hours.  I can't believe how warm it has been.  The kids have been outside playing in sweatshirts for most of the winter.  It's hard to convince them to wear a heavy coat on the few days when it's been in the 30s.  I'm not complaining at all.  At. all.  It's been wonderful.  I just hope we don't pay for it later with a very late or cold spring.  I'd rather have the cold now while we're expecting it.  Anyway, I'm glad I'm not in charge of the weather.  

More pictures to come later...or sooner!
