A few days ago we all celebrated the pretend marriage of Hannah Ross and Peter the Pan (again). Here you see Luke walking Hannah down the aisle. Hannah made her own flowers and other decorations. We even had a little reception with pretend food. Kids are so much fun!
A visit from Nana, GeGe and cousin Addison sure did brighten a short cold January day. As you can see, Luke has taken quite a liking to Addi. In fact he loves all of his cousins and talks about them regularly as he looks at their pictures. He is very apt to pick one of them as his invisible playmate and tells new people he meets that he has cousins.
We have also had a lot of snow and very cold temperatures this January. The kids have had only a few chances to play outside because of the extreme cold but really enjoy it. They both had their first taste of snow and thought that it tasted wonderful.
In other happenings, Hannah is continuing with Kindergarten and is almost done. She has really become a whiz at math and her reading is coming a long much better. Luke likes to join us with school and has learned his alphabet and can count to 12. It is hard to believe how much they are growing.
We did have a wonderful Christmas season enjoying special time with all of our families. Here the kids are spending time with Papa watching the train. The kids got so many fun presents and they are still having a lot of fun playing with them. John and the children enjoyed a beautiful and inspiring Christmas eve service. I had to work but was glad to get out early. We are thankful for all of the presents and most of all God's gift of his Son.
