Better late than “never”

I know I know, here she goes again with the family pics of the “little rascals and all, but ya know folks, this is my life and I love it!

Saturday after Christmas, who should arrive at our door step, none other than "the little rascals” Christmas 09 St. George new camera 012and boy oh boy was it a busy 3 days!   Come on in and enjoy the ride….I can tell you that you will be exhausted as we were when all is said and done! LOL  First off my new camera, that I am taking a lot of pictures with and still am not sure how to use it took a lot of pictures.  The night setting, I am still not sure how to use.Christmas 09 St. George new camera 015   But I am having a lot of fun!  Yes…they brought their new bikes and scooters and YES we let them ride them around the house….they were good not to run into anything….hehehe

The first night, Saturday, they all climbed into my bed and got all snuggled up to watch a movie, they like our bed because it is adjustable. 

The next morning, Sunday, was blueberry waffle morning with fresh juiced apples and oranges.  They all got to help Papa make the yummy juice…

Little missy tried on several of the hats that Oma made for her.  Is purple a favorite color for every little girl?

 

 

The ducks and geese are very friendly!  They saw the kids coming with a sack of bread and pretty much followed them around, sometimes chasing them to get more!Christmas 09 St. George new camera 057
