Visit!!

Sarah was playing around with my camera (again.) FELIX! You need a shave buddy!! (I found a few more like this too.. one of me, Aunt Wendy and the dog. Too funny!

Maggie and Sally begging for meat. :)

Sarah and her Auntie Wendy. My brother and family came to visit us for a few days which was a real treat. We normally don't see the Drake side of the family over Christmas since we've moved to NH . We had so much fun!!! We miss them already!

Zach and Christian got to hit the Dartmouth ski area two times during our visit. Zach was in HEAVEN!! Here they are in the lodge.

Getting ready to go up the lift

Here comes Christian!

Christian and Zach goofing around!

Sarah and Maggie (who was smacking her lips or something?!). As usual Maggie got tons of attention from Sarah! :)

My brother Randy with Maggie and our pup Sal on his lap (some jealousy going on there!!)

December 2009

I thought I would add a bunch of pics (since my wonderful husband got me an air card type of thing for the computer!! wow.. it's SO much faster!!!) He's heard enough complaining out of me about how slow our Internet WAS..! Here are some pictures from this month. Merry Christmas everyone!!!




What are these???

Celtic's tickets!! It took him a while to actually look at the tickets to see what row he was in. He was just so thrilled with the actual tickets themselves.. when he saw row 5 he was even more excited! Daddy is going to go too, plus a friend and his Dad. A very special treat. (he's not going to believe just how big those guys are!!!)
(I just added these two (12/30) so they don't really go in order here!!)







Christian, number 14. Go raptors!!!

Sarah with the big guy himself!

Christian at his band concert, playing trumpet, third from the left in the back row. Good job on the solo bud!! :)

Sarah in the choir at school (5th from the right on the bottom row.. counting the girl with the violin, who did a great job might I add!!) This was Sarah's first year playing flute too, so she got to be in the band. The pictures never turn out well for me in the gym..

Sarah after her concert at school with the snowman she made!

Christmas eve service, happy birthday Jesus! (Sarah is an angel in there somewhere!)

three wise men!! (no pun intended..haha!)

reading "twas the night before Christmas" a tradition at our house!




Santa came to the barn too!

Happy tenth Sarah!

Our little girl turned ten yesterday.. she's not so little anymore!! Happy Birthday Sarah! We love you!

our Christmas tree!





The power went out on Wed. night for at least 5 hours.. what else to do??? Watch Sarah and her amazing cats do tricks!! Here is lacey showing us the "high five". haha!!






Christian read and we all played trivial pursuit. After that we made popcorn on the woodstove then we went outside and had a snowball fight in the dark! (I won...) :)
