Fun with the family

 We had the best time playing with our cousins and Aunts and Uncles over the Christmas break!

 The girls all played so well together and Kate and Lily begged for the Farrs to move to Evansville and live right next door to us. I like this plan very much!

 On a warm day we took the crew to the park to burn some energy.

 One of the best things we did? Ice skating. 

This was Kate, Lily, and Elise's first time on the ice, and it was a blast. 

 Lily and Melanie took to the ice like naturals, 

bravely letting go of the wall and striking out on their own.

Elizabeth and I spent most of the time clutching the sides in efforts to keep our clinging children from taking us down with them! 

Some christmas

 Christmas 2014 was a huge success! The girls receive many items from their lists and we were able to have Elizabeth and company, and Jonathan and Mandy in town for the Holidays

 Elise had been asking for those tights for 4 months. 

 Kate picked out this shirt herself.

 This one was not that impressed with the festivities.

 Christmas morning pictures with the cousins.

 Christmas day at Dad's.

Proof that I was there for all the fun!

Elise's birthday and a Gingerbread House Competition

 On Dec 1 Elise turned 4!It was so fun to celebrate this little angel and all the time she has spent with our family. She brings us so much joy!

 We were excited this year to attend a Gingerbread House competition in early December. The houses were so good and the girls want to enter next year with Drew.
