Enjoying Cold Autumn Days


This was one of the very first snowfalls of the year.  Michael loves the snow!  He keeps saying, "Side!  Side!" because he wants me to take him outside.  He is so much fun!




































Michael's favorite and most used word is "CAR!"


Princess Hannah with her sidekick Ariel.


On cold winter days playing a good ol' game of chess is so enjoyable and satisfying.  We've pulled out quite a few board games already and Laurie (10) is at a fun age to play most games.


This was a once in a lifetime event!  All five of my kids in close proximity for an extended period of time NOT FIGHTING!!! Hurah!  Even Michael was enjoying "Little House on the Prairie."  Sorry Michael.  Five girls in the family.  :)



Rachel and Hannah and Michael are dancing to Christmas music.  They are excited every year to get out the Christmas tree and all the decorations.  Every year they each get a brand new ornament.  Nothing can contain the raw exuberance of children.  I love it!






Rachel found a new private spot to read her stack of fairy library books and Illustrated Stories of the Book of Mormon.  She is a voracious reader at 6 years old.  Her primary teachers (every single one independently) have always told me how smart she is.


Hannah playing "Littlest Pet Shop"--and Ariel of course!
