Pictures From January, February & March

We have been very busy in our household this calendar year.  We definitely have a lot to share with everyone.

JANUARY
We had a lot of snow this winter in Michigan.  One day we were able to make a HUGE snowman.  The top two balls were so huge, Daddy had to build a ramp to put them together.



FEBRUARY
We spent time with science projects - and made a great volcano with our friend, Anthony.



February 22nd, also marked Maggie's 1st Birthday.  We had such a fun time celebrating!





MARCH
March started with a science fair.  Evie did Vibrations and I did How Music Affects Plants.  It was a great Saturday afternoon.  One of the students did an experiment with marshmallows, and well, that was our favorite as you can see.





My expander came out and was replaced with a clear retainer.  I was thrilled to be able to eat gum, nuts, and other "bad" food again.



Within two days, we saw two great shows: Dinosaur Zoo at the Fisher Theater and Brundibar (and opera) t the Michigan Opera Theater.






The next big activity was my 9th Birthday party.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE dragons, so Mommy helped make a really fantastic party around the dragon theme.

Here is my cake!


Here are some of the fun times we had!

Our Christmas Update

We started off the Advent season making gingerbread houses.  Mommy was a bit surprised she had to build them before we decorated them, and of course the mess was epic.  Next year she said she'll buy a plastic throw-away table cloth so that we can pick up and toss when we are all done.




Next Evie had her violin recital, which was really LONG but she did a great job.
Evie loves her violin



After the recital we enjoyed a lot of activities leading up to Christmas.  Speaking of Christmas, here are some pictures from our visit with Grandma and Papa Tom:

All three girls with new journals

Rainbow Loom - YES!

Emma was thrilled with her combined gift: a labtop

Secret diaries!

Christmas PJs

Didn't know Darth Vader was part of Christmas, did ya!

Joke time

Cards and Money from Papa Ray
 
More joking!

We also went to Holiday Nights with Grammy and Papa.  I begged for a long time, because Mommy and Daddy told us it was only for adults.  We had a really good time!



Thank you letters to Santa

Loved the craft works area at night


On Friday, our beloved Papa Ray went to heaven.  We are very sad, and will always carry him in our hearts.
