Our new family pass-time is playing a game on the XBox called Rock band. Allie plays the part of an adoring fan. She loves posing for pictures and in every one she is a princess.

Carter loves to be the drummer.

Hanna is usually the singer, but does well on the guitar also.

Sara is usually the drummer, but being a good sport and letting Carter have a turn.

Carter got a new tie for Christmas and even let dad comb his hair for church so I had to get some pictures.


The kids had a 2 week long Christmas break with ugly weather and kids wanting to play in the snow, but it wasn't great snow, and it was so cold. So... the first day back to school we wake up to beautiful snow and a warm sunny day. Carter and Allie enjoyed it and then Hanna and Sara played for a little while after school. The timing was not great in my oppinion. I would have loved this storm a week earlier. Carter and Allie were having so much fun and I ran in the house to take a picture, only to come back out to them eating the snow. Oh well, just avoid the yellow spots!
