Elisabeth's 10th Birthday Party
We had a family celebration today after church. Grandma & Grandpa Tate were here but left after the gifts beacuse of the snow . . . its snowing here to beat the band! 
The birthday girl requested a chocolate & vanilla ice cream cake.
It was a rowdy crowd.
The cake was really hard to cut!
Our 10 year old! I can't believe she's ten!
We had lots of fun with the blue frosting . . . check out her teeth.
more blue frosting
Can you find the ice cream in her hair?
He ate his entire piece of cake and licked his plate too! Can you see the blue frosting?
The large white spot on his sweater is ice cream.Saturday, December 6, 2008
Christmas Traditions: Saint Nicholas Day
The night before . . .
St. Nick gave the girls cookies shaped like hens and the boys roosters and there was a barn with a T on it for Tate. The cookies represent our year of being involved in 4H, gardening and learning how to use the resources God gives us wisely.
Elisabeth is writing everything down in her journal.
This box was left outside by the van in the driveway. We do not know who dropped it off.
It's a Christmas tree!
What a surprise!
This is my (CRT) Christmas mug that I have had since college.
Watching Christmas videos on YouTube . . . this may be a new holiday tradition.
Obadiah kept bringing me unwrapped chocolates . . . he was unwrapping everything!
. . . the remains of delicious goodness.

Christmas Traditions
Busy Elves. We try to make gifts for family members (especially grandparents) for Christmas every year. Two Two-Year Old Boys + One Tractor = Sadness
The boys fought over Obie's John Deere tractor this morning which resulted in Joel putting it out on the front porch. Lots of tears occurred as a result and therefore Joel decided a snack was in order. Isaiah was pleased with the plan . . .
. . . Obie was not!
Before the tractor incident we had happy boys.
