Christmas 2012

Well, the Christmas season is over but we are still trying to keep it alive here by listening to Christmas songs and keeping the toys out all over the living room! Hopefully they get put away soon, if we can find enough room to store them all, that is. Here is a picture of Santa with Sweetpea and cousin Nathan. Santa made a special visit to Nana's house when we were visiting!

Sweetpea told me today that everything she got at Christmas was her favorite and that she enjoyed all of her gifts. Santa brought her Stompeez - here is a video of her with her new Stompeez. Hope everyone had a great Christmas!!

In memory of...

My grandpa Reah passed away. He will be greatly missed. I remember him as always having a smile on his face and always being positive. One of his favorite things to say was "another day in which to excel!" He was also always singing, which I think may be where my mother, myself, and Sweetpea get it from!
Tonight Sweetpea said her prayers and she prayed for Great Grandpa that he was in heaven playing with Nyles. It will be a bittersweet Christmas, but I know that my grandpa, my grandma Evans, Nyles, Aaron's Grandparents' Schwartze and Grandpa Wieberg are all up there having a grand celebration with God. For that I am thankful!

Christmas Program

Sweetpea had her Christmas program at school. She did a great job singing on stage! Here are the videos of her singing.  

  

Thanksgiving 2012

We had a great Thanksgiving! So many family members came to celebrate and it was so nice seeing everyone! Here are a couple family pics. Sweetpea had so much fun with her cousins that she doesn't get to see very often.  

Now we are getting ready for Christmas - hard to believe! Especially since there is no sign of snow anytime soon...very upset about that. Here is a video of Sweetpea and I decorating the tree. Doesn't everyone decorate in a Rapunzel dress? :)
