Our ice skating adventure

Bella Ruth and Mama taking a break.

Will Henry loved watching all of action. Next year he can ice skate with us.

Clark and Will making their way around the rink.

We went ice skating in OKC over our break and had a fun, fun time. Lucky for me we met one of my best friends and her son Will. My peeps LOVE Will! And Kelly was a life saver with Bella Ruth. I took the boys and she took Bella Ruth around the rink a million times. At least it felt like a million times. After we skated an artist was making ice sculptures. It was a blast, we can't wait to go back next year.

More Holiday ReCap

I found these pictures on my computer this evening. I still have more holiday photographs to download from another camera. More on that later.

These were the best pictures I have from Christmas Eve. It's not easy to get 5 excited children to pose for a picture.

And Clark kept closing his eyes. That silly boy!!

This is Christmas Day with the well-loved scooters from Jojo and Papa or Poppy as Bella Ruth calls my Dad.

That's my girl playing football with all of the men!!! My Mom has a picture of my on my 4th Christmas playing football with my cousins. I had a football helmet on, where as she has a football.

My nephew Hugh loved his big wheel as much as his Daddy loved his many years ago.

Scooter riding some more. And more closed eyes!

Will Henry playing Peek-a-boo in my parents bedroom door. He had such a great time.

Christmas Blessings

We had a wonderful Christmas in OKC with my family. It has been such a crazy time since we have been home that I forgot to post about the holiday. This was my favorite picture, and one that really captures each childs personality.

We don't get to spend a lot of time with my brother and his family and it always amazes me that our children are so completely connected to each other. They do spend about 3 weeks out of the year together, and sometimes more. They each have their own personalities that really seem to harmonize together. I was anxious to see how Will Henry would blend in with the others this holiday, and they didn't miss a beat. There were lots of scooter rides around the lake, Chik-Fil-A runs, and pretend play. Of course there were some wii bowling and baseball games thrown in.

I hope that each of you had a wonderful Holiday too!

Hugs,
