My Faith and Joy… and Boys!

When we had a few flakes of snow a while back, Danny insisted on making the most of it.  He drug out a stool and cleaned off the car, then he headed to the hill to sled (he only made it a few feet).  So he walked over to the swing set and found a much better place to slide! 

Here’s a vide of me chatting with my little man:

The toy razor set that Jim got the boys as a last-minute stocking stuffer a year ago still is a favorite!

While Susie is planning her future life as an Alaskan musher, Becky is preparing for her chosen career as a zookeeper.  Here she is with her Panda zoo!

My parents got the kids Build-A-Bear gift certificates for Christmas – and boy did the kids ever enjoy that gift!  They were ecstatic to pick out their animals – Becky and Susie picked matching dogs, Jimmy chose Chase from Paw Patrol, and Danny chose a Storm Trooper bear.  Thank you, Grammie and Grandpa!

Here are the kids making a “wish” before placing the heart into their toys:

And here are the boys’ creations (I couldn’t get a picture of the girls’ dogs, because they had built elaborate houses for them and tucked them in to sleep before I could snap their picture!):

The kids received Magna Tiles for Christmas, and all four kids have been playing nonstop with them ever since.  Even Jim and I get in on the action!

Jimmy thinks they make for great target practice!
