Bird prints in the snow

Look how sweet:  the little bird feet that had been busy hopping across the back patio!

Christmas 2012

Well, I didn't take very many pictures this year........so I am hoping others will post theirs.  Sometimes it is nice just to enjoy the minute without trying to capture it all on film...........I didn't get any of Christmas Eve with the Rigby's.  It was a ton of fun and wonderful.  Annie, please share :)

Breakfast on the Stairs.  Leah and Kristen coloring.

Still coloring, waiting for Dad, Lisa and Vonicia to come.

Wow, Santa came:  Mainly from Lisa and Vonicia and the extra things Dad threw in at the last minute!

Kristen and Alex added more than their fair share, too.  Amazing!

Let the 'games' begin!

Von waiting for Alex to distribute the loot!

Lisa gave Leah a folding chair.  It was a HUGE hit!

Dad gave Leah a football!  It was also a hit!

When all was said and done, we made a big pile of boxes and wrapping!!!

Cade is Baptized

His baptism cake, made by Annie.

Sweet, pure and handsome boy.

Opening gifts.  (He was baptized ON his birthday).  We all love you, Cade.

Win it in a Minute: Fun at Sara's

How many tissues can you pull out of a box in one minute with one hand?  (A lot!)

With 2 back scratchers, how many pom poms can you pick up?  Annie's first to try.

Then Allie.  It was harder than it seems like it should have been.

James tries a different system.

As does Michael.

Brennan's turn.

Tessa gives it a whirl.

Marie's turn.

Now Ben.

Cade's turn.

Who can transfer by straw the most m&m's

Elisabeth really gave it the hero's try.  (After all, you got to eat what you transferred)

Who can stack the cups the highest?

Dad won that time.

Joshua and Ben working hard at it.

Brennan and Dad worked together.

I particularly liked how surprised the kids would get when their cups would slide down on top of each other.

How many cotton balls can you transfer from the floor to the bowl with your nose?

Oh dear, blogger has changed

Apparently I can't add any more pictures unless I start paying :(
Any clues or help.  I loved my blog (even though I haven't done it
since August, it is because I have been busy.).
