Cy and Hannah "hid" in the fish. Lydia must've thought that a bad idea, because she never would try it!

Hannah, Cy, & Lydia had fun "playing" with the manequin kids. I probably took about 6 pictures with them. I guess they were just amused that they were "their size".

There was a "shooting range" inside the Bass Pro Shop. The kids enjoyed it alot, because when you hit the target, a stuffed animal (fox, bear, etc.) came out. It was really neat. Of course, Lydia thought she could do it too, because in her mind she is just as big as the other two. But we did let her hold the gun and pretend!!!

As Mommy, I am always the one taking the pictures, so I am so excited to be IN the picture! This was taken just before going to church, which is another exciting thing--that we actually had time to spare to take pictures! We are usually running madly to get anywhere on time!

Little miss prissy Lydia. She has truly brought joy to this holiday season, from rearranging the ornaments on the Christmas tree (which she calls a "merry Christmas" instead of Christmas tree), to ice skating in the kitchen, she knows how to have a good time! She loves Dora, and has added the Princesses to her favorites as well. She loves going to church, and can sing "Amazing Grace", "Jesus Loves Me", and a couple of Christmas songs that we have sung during school. She also made up her own song...."My name is Lydie, I like to dance, I like to dance...." that she will sing loudly over a over (but at least she put a nice tune to it). She was named after my grandmother, who went to be with Jesus while I was pregnant with Lydia.

The holidays have been alot of fun this year. The kids play well together, and pretend alot, and just make the season one of child-like fun! I enjoy just watching them all together. They play around the Christmas tree, which they did a fine job of helping to decorate, and they "ice skate" around my kitchen. They have also enjoyed Daddy keeping us a fire going on the cold nights we've had.
