The Perfect Tree.

Our first braids.

For some reason, I have been in serious hair mode for this chick the last week or so.  I am learning so much through online blogs.  Apparently it is good to have her hair in a "protective" style most of the time.  So here's to the beginning of lots of hair do's!  And 2.5 hours later we have this...

Happy Resurrection Day!

Valentine's Day with our oldest friends...

We had the joy of taking "Valentine's" to sweet friends at the nursing home and assisted living facilities here in Wellington this year.  It was a good time of meeting new people and getting to work more on our communication skills.  I think we were blessed by this even more than they were and I know my kids have never experienced so many hugs in their lifetime!  Pretty sure we like this new tradition in the making.  What a sweet day.

HER friends.

It happened that both of these sweet girls spent the day with us today.  It is not often, or ever, that Hannah gets to have HER friends over to play without them accompanying older siblings.  Beaming, this girl.

Oh, Hannah!

Snow Fun! 2013

First snow of the season was a hit at the Giddens' house!  I'm pretty sure they were dressed and out the door as soon as breakfast ended.  No time to waste!

Watch out, Hannah, you have a flake in your eye!

Texas size flakes!

Public school let out early which meant neighborhood snowball fight!!

   

Addie!                                                                        Clayton!
