Christmas Parade 2010

Pictures from this year's Christmas Parade...

Basketball Girl!

We are making our first venture into organized sports. (Well as organized as a basketball team made up of pre-k and kindergarten students can be...) They are only practicing now. Games start in January.

Mary Joyce modeling her uniform. Her team is the "Lil Hawks."


With her little sister...


Lucky #13


When I made the picture of the back of Mary Joyce's uniform, Katherine wanted me to make a picture of her back, too. This picture cracks me up, so I had to include it.

Tree Decorating Time!

I had plenty of help decorating the tree this year. I told Chet I am way too much of a control freak to decorate a tree with little ones, but really, they did a good job. I only had to move a few things because there were three ornaments on the same branch. :-)

This is not the most flattering picture of me, but Chet caught me explaining to Mary Joyce about the ornament we got when we were waiting for her adoption.


My little helpers...

Katherine walking in...I know this picture is blurry, but it was too funny with her headband down over her eyes. :-)


Katherine and her Classmates, Ready to Sing


I don't realize how tiny she is until I see her with other kids her age.

New Bike Helmets!

We finally got the girls bike helmets. It was dark when we got home from the store, so they wore them in the house to watch cartoons. It was a couple of days later before they could actually put them to use because the weather was not being very cooperative.
