Our life-size Cabbage Patch Kid

When Davis came over the other night, he reminded us of something from the past especially with that shirt on. We couldn't put our finger on it. Then it hit us!! We ran to the toy closet and got down the Cabbage Patch Kids. And there he was!!!

Family Traditions

Our Annual Christmas Nativity

Good participating this year except we couldn't get the wise men to show up!

It's always hard to gather the grandkids for a pic and get them all sitting. It looks pretty calm but after they shouted "CHEESE!"......the little ones burst into tears! The volume was pretty high. That next pic would have been a classic.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

What a wonderful time of the year to enjoy our families and to

remember the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Our Family has been truly blessed this past year.

Our desire is to be like Him and celebrate His birth by being followers of Christ in our words and deeds.

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and send our love to all of you!

My love/hate relationship with sandboxes

Every once in a great while I come up with "something" that I'm kinda proud of! This time it would be a sandbox for my grandkids! I have great memories of playing with my cousins in my Grandma Hansen's sandbox. We would spend hours out there under her tree having a wonderful time. We always had sandboxes for our own kids but I hated how they would track it in the house in their shoes or pockets...whew....and in their hair! (I didn't solve that one, so get over it!) So, here is my sandbox!

you heard me- a - sand - box.

Comes with a lid!
They sit "around it." Not "in it." And you can get little cushions for their little buns! (optional)

I put my sandbox on my pavers so when the sand gets dumped out, accidently of course, I just sweep it into the cracks!
