Visiting Great Grandma Beda

Great Grandma Beda with the blanket we made for her. She loved it.

It says We Love Our Great Grandma

Harper, Ellie, Tate, Annie and Theo!

Ellie hugging Grandma Beda.

Harper and Grandma Beda. Notice the lipstick on Harper.
She spent the entire car ride there applying her lip gloss.

A Day of Fun!

Harper and Anna when we got to the zoo!

Tate at the Zoo as a Tiger with a mustache. He was very proud of this get-up!
Ellie and Andrew.


Tate by a big tree at Brookfield Zoo!

Ellie on a Panda Bear at the Carousel.

Bedtime Stories with the kids. They loved the movie and best of all they all sat through it.

Notice the girls' purses. They insisted on taking them to the Movies at the York!

EB hamming it up for the camera at Sweet Tomatos

where we met Grandma and Grandpa for lunch.

Mr. Scary with a blue tongue.

Tate after his haircut at the Barber. Tate did not like the old guy

with the shaky hand and a razor.

Brookfield Zoo

Fun painting our faces with Peggy and Liam. Tate was a dolphin and

EB was a panda bear who liked pink.
Love their artwork. Look at the house Tate drew with him in the window!

Fun spraying the plants with Liam.

Peggy and EB at the Dolphin Show.

Tate and EB drawing their pictures.

Peggy, Tate and EB. Tate said the sun was too bright and

he was not going to look at me but he would smile.

The inside of their cards.

EB sews a bear!

One of EB's favorite friends just got her tonsils out and we wanted to make her something very special. EB designed and sewed this bear all by herself for her. Isn't it great! We hope she likes it. EB said one of the best presents you can give someone is something that you made because you took time to do it.

Take Me to the Moon

Here are three new Astronauts that were hired today by the Adler Planetarium. I cannot believe now tall Harper has gotten.

The girls getting ready to watch Big Bird's show where he takes you to China.

Some cute videos of going to the moon. Thinking Ellie would love something like this for her sensory breaks!

Meeting Pascal

After the Planetarium we went to the Noonan's house to meet Baby Pascal. Both Ellie and Tate loved holding the baby. Ellie said if she could not get a baby from China she would just take a baby from my tummy -- not!

Merry Christmas

Tate and Grandpa Christmas morning.

Tate opening his presents!

Coming down the stairs Christmas morning.

Harper posing with her Sigg bottle from Uncle Joe, Aunt Rachel, Annie and Theo. She loves it!

EB with her iPod. She would only have been more

excited if Santa had brought her a baby from China!

Twas' the night before Christmas

Saying goodnight to Levi before heading up to bed.
The kids were very eager to please because Santa was coming.

Tate's Christmas artwork!

Tate's Christmas artwork from Methodist. He was so proud of it all.

Tate can Sing!

Tate had his preschool Christmas Sing A Long at Methodist. I could not get enough of him singing -- perhaps because he is my baby!
