Christmas program

The week before Christmas, our church had our annual kids' Christmas program.  Abby decided to be brave enough to have a speaking/acting part this year, and was the angel Gabriel.  Norah was an angel with a group of girls, and I played piano for the carols the kids sang.  It was a cute program!

Visiting Santa

We had nice weather for visiting Santa at Kubes Realty again this year...this time, we even brought Sadie!  Afterward, Abby and Norah thought it would be fun to continue the tradition of making gingerbread houses with Dave's mom, so she and Abby ran up to Wal-Mart to buy kits.  The girls had fun being creative!

Girls' weekend

We hosted our annual "Girls' weekend" with my grandma, Miriam, Mara, Sara, and Gavin.  We had a blast playing, crafting, swimming at the new pool in New Prague, playing games, and just soaking up lots of family time.  We just wish these weekends didn't go so fast!

Halloween 2017

Happy Halloween from Abby and Norah!

Back to school!

Abby and Norah are excited to be starting a new adventure at a new school this year!  (Abby was a little nervous to switch schools, but has a sweet teacher and seems to be adjusting just fine)  Abby is in 4th grade in Ms. Sandgren's class and Norah is in kindergarten in Ms. Johnson's class at Falcon Ridge.  They go to Kids' Company most mornings, ride the bus some mornings when Dave is home, and catch the bus from the daycare around the corner some mornings.  They are able to ride the bus home each afternoon, so that is nice.  We're excited for a great year!
