Christmas Eve

We had a really nice Christmas eve.  Grammy and Great Grammy came up and we had a lot of yummy food including this 3 foot sub!!  Yum!

Later on we sprinkled the reindeer food outside! We were hoping they would see it by the sparkles we added!

Anya tried on her new horsie shirt and moose earmuffs from Grammy.  She got lots of nice new things!!

These two make me so happy!  I'm looking forward to another year of watching them grow and doing new things together...

My little baker

Anya helped me bake gingerbread cookies the day before Christmas eve. She loved helping. Later on I set up a reindeer feed station for Anya and she filled a jar will all sorts of food to sprinkle outside on Christmas eve for Santa's reindeer!

Watjus cousins! Finally a boy after 20 years ;)

Anya's ukulele

Anya has a new ukelele from Papa.. she loves it :)

Anya's sing along at school

Anya had a great sing along at school. She did a great job and it was so cute to watch all the kids! Santa even showed up!

Sledding!

We had a great time sledding with the kids last Sunday. I think Dwight and I had just as much fun as the kids did!!

Castle gingerbread house

Polish Christmas Party!!!

:-) 'Tis the Season

Oh Christmas Tree

Anya started decorating the tree while Seth was napping and then he joined in. He took ornaments out of the bin and dropped them on the tree branches. It was really cute. He was interested in taking off ornaments as well but after the first night he was less interested. Both kids love candy canes! After they eat all of them off the tree we might not want to buy anymore because both are obsessed with taking them off and eating them!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

We had a great Thanksgiving. Seth and Anya melt me with how much they love eachother :) The turkey placesettings were made by Anya with my help. She traced every hand herself :)  We have a lot to be thankful for!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Anya and I carved out her pumpkin yesterday. She designed it and I helped her. Today she has a Halloween party at school. The parents stayed a few extra minutes to watch the costume parade and hear two Halloween songs :) After school we will be visiting daddy at work and bringing pumpkin muffins for his work friends.  Tonight is Trick-or-Treating and you can guess how excited Anya is for that!
