CHILDREN MAKE CHRISTMAS MAGICAL

Christmas was wonderful! Maga & Papa Len came from Arizona, which made our holiday perfect! We hope you all had a joyous season and are blessed beyond belief in 2008!!!

With love,

"Capturing Time"-Katie Brown Photography

What no one would know... was that Aves was throwing a huge FIT the entire time ;) Katie is amazing! She's a teacher at Buttercup Hill also!! Thanks Katie for a brilliant job!!

Avery's First Annual Cookie Decorating Pajama Party

Taylor, Aidan, Gracie, Avery & Ryder (the new baby of the fam...sorry Aves) had a blast going to town on sugar cookies and holiday fun. I think we'll do it every year, as the kids always get a ton of gifts and I think stretching it out is more fun! SNAPS (yes I said it Auntie Pipes) to family traditions, old & new!

Thanksgiving Day

The summary of T-Day

Hello!!! We hope everyone had a very blessed Thanksgiving, we did! Here are a few photos showcasing the highlights ;) Gigi bought a really cool gingerbread house...that the adults slaved over for hours-just to get the walls to stay up (what's the trick?). I was thrilled when I could finally decorate (as you can tell ;) and then in an effort to spoil my appetite, I promptly ate the decorations off before the frosting had even dried. My cousin Chloe read books to me and it was a welcome distraction from the ensuing belly-ache. My Papa made his best Thanksgiving dinner yet and the ONLY thing that was missing was the rest of our family, who seem to be afraid of cold weather ;) Just kidding! We are looking forward to Maga & Papa Boeder coming on the 12th of Dec thru Christmas and maybe the Boeder Bunch will come next year! They were living it up in Colorado with Sarah's family. Miss you all!!
