Christmas 2010

Miss Merry Christmas Pageant

Natalie and Nicole competed in the Miss Merry Christmas pageant again this year.  Lauren didn't want to this time. 

My beautiful girls:

Natalie won Queen in the 9-11 year old division.  Nicole won 1st Runner Up in the 12-13 year old division.  We are so proud of them!

Halloween 2010

Nicole and some of her friends decided to be fairies this year.  Nicole was a blue, cheetah fairy. 

Natalie was Snow White and she carried the Seven Dwarfs in a basket.

Lauren and Jack were Jessie and Woody from Toy Story.

Cousins and friends met at our house to go trick-or-treating on Main Street.  It was a lots of fun!  Everyone got plenty of candy, cotton candy, popcorn, hot dogs, etc...

Carving Out Memories

Ever year the kids carve out a pumpkin and Richard makes a pumpkin pie from scratch.  YUMMY!

Nicole had a pumpkin decorating contest at her school.  She made hers into a turkey.  The turkey is holding signs that read, "Just say NO to pumpkin pie!" and "Eat more apple pie."

Johnny Appleseed Day

 Today was Johnny Appleseed Day in kindergarten.  All the kids in Jack's class dressed up and they spent all day doing apple related activities and trying lots of yummy foods and drinks. 

Jack wanted to take an apple pie, so Richard and I made one last night from a recipe we found on the Internet.  It was yummy!  Can't wait to get more apples and make another one.

Grandparent's Day

My pre-k class and Jack's kindergarten class said the pledges and then the kindergartners sang a song.
