Slumber Party!

My mom spent the night at our house last week to watch Claire so Ben and I could take Anna for her surgery (we had to leave the house at 5:30 am). Anyway, the girls LOVED having their Nuna over for a "slumber party"! She read the girls David & Goliath and then taught them the children's song 'Only a Boy Named David'. She is kind of an expert at this sort of stuff. She directed all the children's productions at church growing up!


"the sling goes round and round..."

"One little stone went into the air and the giant came tumbling down."

Anna was saying "One more time!".

SNOWBALL FIGHT

After we finished sledding, we had a spur of the moment snowball fight! Sooooo much FUN!



Watch out for Anna... she's quite the snowball thrower!

Claire was relentless!



Haha... snowball right to the face!

She is packing a heck of a snowball!

That is some great form!!!

Sledding

We had fun going sledding last weekend! The girls love being out in the snow and it was a great workout for all of us!
Daddy & Anna going down, down, down!

Grammy & the girls all managed to get on the sled!


Claire somehow ended up going down the hill on her belly holding onto the sled! She thought it was great!

Anna FLEW down the hill on this little disc sled!

This is a fast sled!

Mommy & Claire sledding!

So fun making memories with my little family!

Farewell Yuki

We went to a farewell party over the weekend for one of our friends from church, Yuki. Yuki and her mommy, daddy and brother are leaving soon to go serve as missionaries to Japan. We will miss this sweet family and pray that the Lord will use them to bring light into a dark land. Please be in prayer for this family as they make this major transition.

Yuki's parents taught the kids Origami, the traditional Japanese art of paper folding!

They made a Crane (bird) out of paper!

We will miss you, Yuki!

Anna's Party

So sorry this post is so long! There were just so many cute pictures from Anna's birthday party!!

Marilee was the party hostess and she was fabulous! She took the kids on a tour of The Enchanted Village and then presented Anna with a birthday gift and the "magic key" that opened the door to the tea room! It was so sweet and Anna loved that key!

Anna with the Magic Key!


All the little girls got to go into the glitter kitchen and decorate a cookie! So fun!

The Princess Tea!
