Break

We finished up our last school day before Christmas break, and it's been nice to have some time off.  I just wish that we were healthy!  Maybe our next week will be better! 

Brie's last spelling test of the year!

Our Christmas present, I can honestly say we all are really enjoying it!

We went outside and played Frisbee with some glow sticks after all of the festivities!  I liked this shot looking back into the house!

I know this isn't the best picture,but it was too hilarious not to put on here!

Our birthday cake for Jesus!

These are some of Brie's creations.  She is such a creative girl.

 

Like I said we've been sick so I opened up her window to let some nice fresh air in! 

Cars...  We have cars all over most of the day!   How about you!

 Reuben and Titus driving the cars on the Life game!

Zeke playing football on the iPad.

Reuben waiting for his turn!  I just love his little face, it says it all doesn't it!

Satisfaction!

More cars! (or vehicles!) 

Titus keeping a close watch on his stuff!

Christmas with Marks side!  Aren't they cute!  (I just wish I could've taken a better shot)(having more camera issues!)

Christmas fun

Our unit this week has been Christmas.  We've been doing some fun crafts and reading some great books.  The first thing we did was to make an edible nativity!   I got the idea from here.  I thought it was a great idea, another way to keep the focus on Jesus! 


Reuben putting his "baby Jesus" on the "hay"

Brie thinking it didn't really look like Mary!

It seem like every time I took a picture of her she was snacking on something!

Reuben eating Mary!

I have no idea why he's pretending to sleep? (but he's cute!!)

I just realized this is the only shot i uploaded of Titus.  (he had more, i guess thats what happens when you upload too many pictures!)

Our next craft was to make Christmas trees.  You take sugar cones, flip them upside down, frost them and then decorate.  This was really easy, and made a yummy dessert after dinner! 

Christmas

Christmas
It's approaching very quickly
I can't wait
a day to celebrate the birth of my Lord and Savior Jesus. 

Life

I don't often share "random" shots of our week.  I'm trying to use my camera more and really learn how to use it.  Some shots are great, some not so much.
( I'm still finding it hard in low light to get a good shot, oh well, more practice I guess!)

Brie working on spelling...

Reuben and his really short eyelashes!!  Can you believe those suckers.

 Reuben being cool!

Titus practicing some cutting skills, Zeke encouraging him!

Zeke with a football, because with out that ball life just isn't the same!  You can see in the picture that it is in motion, trust me it is always in motion.  He has end zones in different areas of the house, and  is constantly running plays!

A puppet show put on by Brie and Zeke.  Acting out Luke 2! 

And this pretty girl is staying with us till Christmas when she will go to her real home!  We are all absolutely loving her!  As you can see in the pictures below we are holding her, and it's amazing how much she's calmed in just a day.  She sat on my hand for a good 5 minutes today with out trying to fly away.  (her wings are clipped so she can't fly!) (otherwise we would be in serious trouble!!!)  =)
