Daddy Daughter Valentine Dance

Daddy took Tressa out to dinner -- Noodles & Company.  Then they made a quick stop into Home Depot.  And then on to church for the Daddy-Daughter Dance.  They had a blast!  Tressa got a corsage and they had their picture taken together.  Then they did a couple crafts and had ice cream and punch.  And they danced, danced, danced.  They were inexhaustible!

There's No Business Like Snow Business

Snowman #1.  It's that tiny snow chunk with two twigs for arms, just south of Tressa's right boot.

Snowman #2.  Now we're getting somewhere.

 Snowman #3.  Practice makes perfect!

Family Heirloom

While at my parents house over Christmas, I came across this beautiful quilt.  It was made by my great-grandmother, my dad's dad's mother.  I love the fruit appliques.  It is perfect on Tressa's bed!  (And that "hungry caterpillar" she stole from Hayden is perfect with this quilt!)

Piano Recital

Evan played "O Come All Ye Faithful" in his first recital last Friday night.
This was Meghan's third recital and she played "O Holy Night".

HO! HO! HO!

The Best We Could Do!

  

Outtakes:

Christmas Traditions

Time for school...

...and we're waiting for Meghan. As usual.

Evvy Ray Cyrus. (DadGUM he's fine!)

Target Halloween Clearance.  Craig says it's the best 80 cents he's spent in a long time!

 Seriously, Evan?!!  This is where you hang your mullet?!

This took me aback when I walked into the kitchen.  About 20 minutes earlier I'd been chastising Evan for twirling and tossing the mullet around, telling him he needed to take good care of his mullet or it would get tangly.  He took it to heart. ☺



The Hobbit Project

The Sixth Grade class did a major project based on the book, the Hobbit.  Each student was assigned a character.  Meghan was Bilbo Baggins.  Each student re-wrote a portion of the book from the point of view of their character.

Meghan (as Bilbo) reads her chapter to the kindies (see Tressa third from the left)!

Is This How I Taught You?

I don't think so!

My girl needs a refresher lesson on POSTURE!!

To Mom. Love, Tressa

Creative...

...and sweet!
