This time last year

Cold and Snow

Roller-skating with Rowan & Amelia

Lots of books from the library in downtown Chattanooga!
We went at least once a week to check out books and sometimes stayed for Lego Club or other activities.

Caleb's birthday

 It's hard to believe that Caleb is 9 years old!

Isabelle put his candles in the shape of a "C"!

Ian's Birthday

Ian's birthday was last Sunday.
He wanted to have chicken noodle soup.
We added homemade fries & pringles to round out the meal.

15 candles!
I told him to blow them out fast so the wax wouldn't melt onto the cake.
He did it so fast that we didn't even get a picture!

It's hard to believe he's 15 now!

Christmas Day

Opening stockings Christmas morning

Ian with his candy & pringles from his stocking.

After handing out presents at the hospital, we had lunch with Amanda Volkman and Christina and Rebecca Warkentin.

We opened presents as a family in the afternoon.
The kids each gave each other a few little things that they had made or toys or cards they had that they knew the other person would like.

Stephen got some fabric with bright colors and spiderwebs.

The fabric got away from him!

Just what I wanted- Cookies with chocolate & peanuts!
