Christmas 2013

We had a great Christmas this year.  We decided that with baby number 4 due in February that it would be good to spend Christmas at our house.  Andy's parents came to celebrate with us, as well as Cassie's sister's family.

The girls got a desk for Christmas from their Grandparents. 

Fall 2013

The girls all dressed up for Halloween. 

Lily had a great time handing out candy to all of the kids.  She was very generous at times :)

For Thanksgiving morning we went and did the Turkey trot fundraising walk/run.  We obviously walked. 

We did a reveal cake made by Karyn Grenz after we did a scavenger hunt around our house.  It was a surprise for Andy and the girls.

Hannah cried at first when she saw that the cake was pink.  She really thought that it was going to be a boy, but she quickly adjusted to the idea of having another sister. 

We had fun going to the apple orchard.  Always a fun family outing. 

First Day of School

Hannah got to pick a special breakfast for her first day of Kindergarten at Washington Elementary School. 

The first day was just an hour and half introduction day.  We drove her to school and had a parent meeting while she got to learn more about being a kindergartner at her school. 

Chloe also got to have a special breakfast for her first day of school at Kingdom Kids Preschool

Hannah's first official day of school.  Here she is waiting for the school bus. 

 

We actually did not follow the bus even though she had to make a bus change to get to her school.  There was an older neighbor girl that was going to help the kindergartners make the transfer.  Everything went well!

Fort Wilderness

 

We went to Fort Wilderness for Family Camp with Autumn Ridge Church for a week.  Andy was the speaker for the week.  We had such a great week there!!

Lily is quite the climber and finds herself in some interesting situations.

Hannah found a new love for archery this year. 

Hannah wanted to go shoot bow and arrow as often as we would let her. 

Chloe did not like the archery because of the guns.  She really does not like loud noises!!

Chloe loved riding the horses.  She said that she likes horses because they don't lick her like dogs do.
