October, November, & December 2007- we've been busy!


We have not updated our blog in such a loooong time, and we are going to blame our busy schedules for such a catastrophe! Mommy tried to pick out pictures from the past few months that tell the story of what we have been doing. The oldest pictures are from Halloween where I am dressed up as Violet Incredi-Wulf. My sister, Maeghan was a Mummy Fairy and in the group picture are our cousins Patrick (Pirate), Mikaila (pretty fairy), and Peyton (masked Raggedy Ann). Maeghan lost a tooth that night too! In some of the pictures I have lots of makeup on; that is from when I got to be in the all-district musical Cats in Wenatchee. My cousins Peyton & Patrick were also in the play, and there is a picture of them here too. I had a great time learning all the songs and making friends with the big kids. (Probably the only part I didn't really like was my mom french-braiding my hair every night so I could wear my wig!) Did you see that great snowman in the picture with Maeghan? She made it all by herself after our very first snowfall! Pretty cool, huh? Next up is a picture of Daddy with the shooter-buck (that's what I call 'em) that he got in Canada during Thanksgiving weekend. It is huge! Then I am in costume (yet again) for The Nutcracker in December. I really do like being in shows, mostly because it is fun to hang out in the dressing room with the other kids. We eat lots of snacks, we color, play games, and some of them even let me use their Nintendo DSes (because my mom won't buy me one). Also, I'll let you in on a little secret: when you're in a show... people bring you presents. It's totally true! I got flowers, balloons, toys, candy... all kinds of great stuff! So, if you are in the market for some new things and you want to learn some good dance moves (courtesy of Mr. Paul Atwood, the best Director ever) and cool songs, you should audition for the next musical. It is great! We have had lots of fun the past month too. We went to a party at Lala's house at the beginning of December, enjoyed Christmas Eve with our Nanny and Poppa and Grandpa (Mommy & Daddy too), and got to see our Brewster cousins up at Grandma's house and some of our Adams' cousins at Nanny's house on Christmas Day. Maeghan helped Daddy clean ducks (it was way too cold for me... plus, I hunted with him that day already). And lastly, is some pictures from today. When we got home after school, Daddy had already cleared a course for sledding for us. Because our yard is completely flat, we have to improvise. Fortunately for us, our Dad has the coolest toys/tractors for his work, and he pulls us on a sled behind one of them, the Gator. It is a lot less work than having to hike up some hill to sled down, I'll tell you that much! Well, it is almost time for dinner, and I have to go check things out in the kitchen (make sure Mommy is not making anything gross, like last night, when we had green beans). We just wanted to update everyone on what we have been doing... we still care about our blog... we just got busy, that's all. It is supposed to snow more this week... so here's to lots of fun times on the sled!
