Fun With Aunt Keri

We had so much fun when Aunt Keri came to visit. She left over two months ago and the kids still talk about her. She helped them build legos, do puzzles, and she even became a make shift jungle gym for them to climb on. We can't wait til she comes back!!!!!! We love you KI!!!!!

Ten Year Annivesary

What better way to celebrate our ten year anniversary than to do it in the City of Love. We spent our anniversary and New Years Eve in Paris, France. It was COLD, but still very beautiful!!!!
We enjoyed some yummy food and some smooches along the way. We went to Notre Dame, The Eiffel Tower, and the Louvre. We had a magnificant time. And thank you to my wonderful sister who stayed with our children, so we cloud spend it together just by ourselves.

Paris at Chirstmas time is so magical. Everything is lit uip and sparkling. It was truely a beautiful sight seeing how they do Christmas. Everything was so festive and lively.

HAPPY ANNIVERSAY JAMES, I LOVE YOU!!!!

Christmas Pageants

I am very grateful for a village school. Over here in England they still teach you the real meaning of Chrstmas. In Jakeb's school and Cole's prechool they both had plays that retold the birth of our Savior and the real meaning of Christmas. They actually read the story from the Bible version. I was so impressed, I almost felt like I was in church, in fact our church play was almost identical to our school one. Jakeb and Cole were both wiseman. Cole actually got to ride a litle (pretend) horse, and they both got to present presents to our baby Jesus.

These pictures above were from our Church Christmas party. We had gone back over 2000 years to when Jesus was alive. We were back in Jeruselem. We dressed up as the parts and played Dreidel, and had coins as payment for any services we wanted. They had food booths, games stations, and activities that all costed a gold coin. It was a lot of fun.

Trip to London

When Keri was here we took our first official trip outside of our town. We went to London for three days right before Chirstmas. It was a bit cold, but so worth it. We had a blast!!!! We visited Buckingham Palace. It is very beautiful and such pretty statues and art work. The above pictures are inside of Kinsington gardens, which includes a park dedicated to Princess Diana. They are both located inside the huge Hype Park

We also went to The Museum of Natural History in London. The coolest part was that it was free!!!! It was the coolest museum, but unfortunetely we didn't get a whole lot of pictures, I guess that is what happens when you are having fun.These are just some casual shots of us. The palace above is the Kinsington Palace that is located inside of Hyde Park.

We also went to the Science Museum, which was free as well, and just as fun as the Natural History Museum. There were so many hands on exibits, which kept all the little hands busy and having a ton of fun. We visited "Winter Wonderland", which is a huge Christmas carnaval inside of Hyde Park. We had so much fun, and the kids even though they were cold had a blast. Keri and I were a bit cold just standing there, but it was a great night.
