Catch-up Edition

The girls were very proud of their snowman

Dad thanking Kara for the chocolate she gave him

Things we have done since last we wrote:

Mom took the girls to see "Enchanted" at the movie theater. When it was over, Kara said, "I really liked the dragon part."

The girls also got to see "Bee Movie" and "The Water Horse." That's more movies in the theater in 2 weeks than Joy and Brenda saw all of the previous 12 months.

Joy and Brenda celebrated their 9th anniversary.

Joy took a whopping 5 days off from work. With weekends and paid holidays, that was an 11 day vacation. Can you believe he didn't want to go back afterward??

Mom and Dad were feeling sick one night at bedtime, so we asked Amy to read us a story. She read 6 pages of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" out loud all by herself. Some of it she had memorized (how many times have we read it to her??), but some words she had to figure out on her own.

Brenda sang in a Christmas choir concert and in a church Christmas program.

Joy and Brenda got a skookie for Christmas.


Interesting stuff:

-Want a free windshield?


QOSROIT: What was your favorite part of the holidays this year?

How Does She Do That??

Not a video game addict:
Kara fell asleep playing Nintendo.

Matching bookends (the books are invisible)

According to Kara, kitties have "pawses."

Brenda is now a professional seamstress. Two people are paying her (!!) to make their choir blouses.

The first grade classes at Amy's school are going on a field trip to see the Nutcracker ballet. She is so excited!!

Joy has been having problems with pain in his hip, so he's seeing a chiropractor for a 12-visit treatment plan. Hopefully this will help.
