One morning, couple of weeks ago, the kids and I decided to take a drive around our area and soak up all of the beauty that belongs to winter alone. Sometimes we get so impatient for spring to arrive that we forget to appreciate the splendor of the cold months. I wanted the kids to see the hand of God at work around us. They wanted to know where we were going and I told them that we were just going to take a drive and see how beautiful the snow was and, as we were driving, Anna said "Look Mommy! The trees have frosting on them!" Yes, they do. Frosted by the hand of a loving God as a special winter-time treat for us.

Anna & Micah "boxing"
This is a video of Anna & Micah pretending to "box" like on the Wii Fit that we got for Christmas. You can hear Anna coaching Micah "Right, Block, Right, Block..." (notice Micah's outside mittens substituting for boxing gloves!) and then at the very end she says "you didn't even break a sweat did you!" (just like on the Wii game). It's pretty cute!
Anna's 4th Birthday
Anna Joy had a My Little Pony birthday party this year (she'd been planning and praying about it for almost a year - truely.) Hmm, I wonder where she get's that pre-disposition for planning ahead? ;) Anyways, it was a fun, pink, glitter and pony filled party which made it a success as far as the birthday girl was concerned. Mom on the other hand, can't believe that my baby is 4 already! Sniff! But we can't wait to see what God has planned for your life sweet girl - we love you so much! Now to start planning next year's shindig! ;) cake decorated by Grandma Jeanne
Christmas morning 2009
I should really tell the photographer that unless the camara is set for fast action, any attempts at photographing excited children moving about at the speed of light on Christmas morning are going to be futile. I see she managed to capture a couple of non-blurry moments... Anna Joy and her new piggy enjoying a spot of tea with her new tea set

Thanksgiving 2009
Anna Joy was so tired that she just fell asleep right in the middle of all the action & noise at Graunty Kathy's house - she slept just like that for a couple of hours too! So sweet! I guess Aunty Kate was a bit tired too!
Thanksgiving #3 (in four days) All the Lindgren cousins... You'd think that we'd eventually learn not to wait until it's late and all the little ones are tired and crabby before we decide to take pictures - you would think, but then, you would be wrong. At least they're all sitting together, and most of them are not crying.
Yippee Ki Yi Yay!
In early October we celebrated Micah's 5th birthday (which was actually in September) at an Apple Orchard in Delano. It was a Cowboy themed party and everyone had a lot of fun with it - especially the kids! It was a great way to combine our annual trip to an apple orchard with Micah's special day. Here's the rootin'-tootin' li'l cowboy himself...Cowboy cake by Mom... My 3 little cowpokes!
