Bundle of Joy

Here's Mary, all bundled up and ready to try sledding for the first time~
She really liked it! It took forever to get her ready to go though, and then she only stayed out for about 20 minutes. But she liked going down the hill, and didn't even cry when she got a face full of snow.

Mary hanging out at the MSI today~

Christmas Cookie

I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. ~Charles Dickens

Spirit of the Season

We finally got our Christmas Tree up today. Mary had a blast! She is such a goofy hamball sometimes~
And of course, after all that hard work, Sam and Mary needed an apple to make it to bed~

Fine Art

While trying to get some school work done today, I set Mary up in front of the easel for the first time. It's twice her size!
But she really liked it~

And she was pretty darn pleased with her work~

You can barely see it, but she pretty much stuck with only green and yellow~

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up. ~Pablo Picasso

"A little Snow was here and there..."

Mary thinks she's a big kid now, right in the midle of her brothers' and their friends' snowball fight~
She loves being in the snow~

Snow Bunny

We had our first snow here today - and Mary is finally old enough to really appreciate it. She loved it!
