Cuddle Time

Hannah loves to play with Zach. Today she decided that she needed to lay him down for nap and cuddle with him.

Fun with the Everly's

We had a great time playing and celebrating a late Christmas with the Everly's.

Ryan and Hannah at the Maple Maze.

Hannah quickly disappearing in the maze.

Josh and Ellie at the bottom of the slide. Josh and Ryan did a great job helping the girls through the maze. We completely wore the kids out.

Emily and Ellie at the bottom of a slide. I think that the parents enjoyed the Maple Maze almost as much as the kids did.

Ellie near the top of the maze. She is trying to find her way to the red slide. Hannah is chasing Ellie up the structure.

Janelle and Zach had a lot of fun playing in the ball pit.

Zach climbing into the ball pit. He thought he was pretty big stuff.

After we got back to the Everly's house we opened presents. Zach is really enjoying opening presents this year.

Dance

Dance started back up again today after our Christmas break. Hannah and Ellie were both VERY excited to wear their new tutu's they had gotten for Christmas!

Thank You's

We tried to get a picture to send out with our Thank You notes for Christmas gifts. This was a little harder than one would think it would be! We may not have gotten a great picture, but we sure did have fun!

Marshmallow Sculptures

1/21/09

We learned about the letter "M" during our preschool swap today, so we made marshmallow sculptures. Hannah was very creative and tried to make a merry-go-round. Great job, Hannah!
