Catching up...

Wow! After Elizabeth's birthday everything went into high speed for us. So much was happening right along with Christmas and the celebration of our Savior's birth. Here's a recap of the past couple of months...

Elizabeth joined a group of home schoolers for a tour of the Hatcher Family Dairy Farm at the end of November. I forgot my camera, typical of me, so these photos are courtesy of my friend...thanks Teresa!

Love this photo and the concentration on Elizabeth and Isabella's faces while they listened intently to our guide.

December brought us snow, and parties and the celebration of our Savior's birth at Christmas.

Before...and...after Dad shook the snow covered limb over head!

Elizabeth sang for the first time in the children's choir at church during the Joy Gift service. The program is always so beautifully done with instrumentals and beautiful music. It was extra special for us this year with Elizabeth's participation and sharing it with our neighbors, Alex and Netta.
