Ethiopian Christmas

We celebrated Ethiopian Christmas and so did Fisher -- we just were not together. 21 days until we are together forever as family and we cannot wait.

Fisher's Ethiopian Christmas Celebration at Sele Enat, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Our Ethiopian Christmas Celebration at The Ethiopian Diamond, Chicago, Illinois.

EB and Grandma

EB was so excited to see Grandma and Grandpa when they came over. She was all smiles and was quick to jump into Grandma's lap.

Off to School

The kids always walk to school together or home. I do love that the girls insist on holding Tate's hand to and from school and he lets them. Today Tate got dressed in his coat and got his bag ready about 20 minutes before he had to leave for school but he was so excited to get to go to school after being home for Christmas Break for two weeks!

Star Wars

Tate got Star Wars Pancake molds from Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas and LOVES them. He said as he was eating his incredibly difficult pancakes to make that they were his favorite present EVER!!!!! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!



Peter and I were in super basement cleaning mode and Tate was so excited when Peter found his old comics. Tate wanted them so bad but first Peter made sure they were not super valuable and once Peter found out they were only worth a few bucks they were all Tate's!

Go Michigan!

Today we got Christmas cleaned up and then Peter said he wanted to watch the Michigan game with the kids and promised he would fold laundry as Grandma has been slacking on her chore!

First try and then we thought we would give the timer a try so I could be in the picture!

Self Timer -- maybe we need a tripod, not a plant stand but still we are all in the picture!

Tate Daniels

The girls got some new crafts for Christmas and one of the first things they made was for Tate!

Project 365 -- 2011

I am going to do Project 365 -- take a picture everyday and write a brief description of it. I thought this would be a great way to document our first year with Fisher and our new life as a Family of 6!
