Anna's Princess Tea

I am just now getting around to blogging about Anna's Princess Tea. We had her 3rd birthday party at a beautiful place in Lebanon called The Enchanted Village. Thank you to Grammy for finding and recommending this place for Anna's party. I don't think we could've found a more beautiful and perfect place for a birthday celebration! Thanks also to my sister-in-law, Heather, for taking many of the photos for me!

A quick shout out to my mamma for making all the adorable candies! I LOVED the way they turned out!!

Happy New Year

On New Year's Day, we headed over to Grammy & Papa's for a traditional New Year's dinner of pork & sauerkraut. The girls loved blowing the horns, wearing the New Year's hats and playing with all the confetti! We are praying that 2011 is a prosperous and healthy year for all of you!
Jeremiah 29:11 - 'For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.




A ridiculous amount of confetti!


Happy New Year!

Niederman Farm

The day after Christmas, we headed to Niederman Family Farms to go see Christmas lights and walk through the Bible. It was such a neat experience and perfect to end the Christmas season! The Niederman family does this as a ministry to the public so it is free admission. We hope all of you make it to see this amazing display sometime!
I didn't take a photo from each display, but tried to get some so you could get an idea of what it consists of...

Noah's Ark

The Ten Commandments

The birth of Baby Jesus

The beginning of the modern church.

The Crucifixion

He is RISEN!

The Great Commission!

It was a chilly night, but we warmed up quickly with hot chocolate and candy canes!

The girls were enthralled watching the 'Juggler for Jesus'. He was very impressive!

The cute donkeys (and Anna!).

Merry Christmas!

Cutting Christmas

After we opened our gifts, we headed to Grammy & Papa's house to celebrate! Thank you to Grammy & Papa for making Christmas so special for our family!
The Cutting Family

My favorite gift was the silhouettes Grammy gave me of my girls!

Claire playing with Daddy's iPad!

One of the fun traditions is finding all the gifts that Grammy hides throughout the house!

Anna finding a present!

Claire's new hat!


There were just a few gifts!

Our first Christmas with Uncle Steven!


This cracks me up! Anna modeling her new dress!

Brothers! They kept us laughing all day long!

The new hats we got Brad & Papa!

It only seems appropriate that our soon-to-be doctor of the family is reading 'Farley Goes to the Doctor' to Anna!

Surely, Sophie will have a special crown of jewels in heaven for all she endures!

Claire's new baby doll from Grammy!

What a FUN Christmas!
