Sledding in Michigan!

We went sledding today!  Ezra loved being

outside, but not sledding.  He kept saying, "no"!

Even Mommy went sledding too!!!!!

Elijah is our little dare devil of the family.

He loves to go fast and every which way.

Ezra wasn't to sure about it!!!!

In fact he hated it!!!!!!

Daddy/Daughter Dance 2009

Hannah and Bill went to a Dance on Sat. night.

She got all dressed up in her Christmas dress

and heels.  We even curled her hair and did a 

little makeup to feel special.  We also did her nails.

They meet  her good friends, Maddie and Carly and 

their Dad's at Applebee's.  All the girls got flowers from their 

special dates.

Then they headed off to the dance. She had so 

much fun.  

All the boys were excited for Hannah.

Noah's 1st Basketball Game

He did GREAT!  He scored 2 points and 

had some great moves and lots of rebounds.

Way to go NOAH!!!!!!

Betsy Ross (Hannah) and Friends!

Hannah was Betsy Ross at her school's

wax museum.  She did an awesome job.

She had a wonderful speech that she worked 

very hard on.  We are so proud of her.  The picture

above is her pose for the wax museum.  She is wearing

Mom's Halloween costume from 5th Grade.  We had to 

take it up a few inches, but it worked.

Now she is doing her speech.

GO HANNAH!!!!

Maddie  did an awesome job too.

So did Carly!!!

Here is Eli's wax museum of himself.
