Sleepy time

I love my little sleepy heads.... some day they won't let me take pictures of them sleeping....but until then I will keep doing it.  Sweet dreams my angels.

Cousin time

Nick and Lauren have been getting along really well.  They both love to play mine craft together.  This was sometime in February when Nick spent the night.  They had a good time.

Annie

Mom took Amy, Lauren, and I to see Annie at the Bloomington Center for Performing Arts.  It was such a good show.  We all loved it.

Luke's Birthday

Luke turns 6!  This was the year for his big friend party. We had it at gymnastics etc.  He had friends from school, neighbors, and close friends.  About 14 total.  It was a basketball themed party.  We had basketball cookies, cheese balls, basketball suckers.  It was super fun!

We also had a family party.  Luke is loved by everyone and he was spoiled rotten!

Cinderella

Stephanie and I took Ava and Lauren to Cinderella at the Peoria Civic Center.  It was such a neat show.  Very whimsical and pretty.  The girls loved it!

Luke's basketball

 Luke started playing for the YMCA basket ball team back in January.  He played all the way through March.  We have decided this might be his sport.  He is pretty good and he loves it.  He played with other Kindergarten and 1st grade boys.  Their team was not too good so they lost quite a bit but Luke made several baskets and he was great on defense.

Christmas 2016

What a wonderful Christmas we had.  Lots of fun gifts, family and fun!

We had a neighborhood brunch.  Everyone had a ball.

Ella our Elf showed up for the first time this year.  She was up to a lot of mischief!

More neighborhood brunch pictures.

Aunt Mindy and the kids.  This was taken at Bobby Jo's.  We were their for our Christmas with Craig's extended family.

Ella is not the only naughty elf in our house!

The kids picked this our for peanut at 5 below.  He hates it!

They did not want to touch Ella!  If they do she will lose her magic.  So they held her in the plant to be on the safe side.

And that's Jay!

Ping pong anyone?

A wonderful church service.....Tis the Season!
