Prayer and a Cabinet

Tonight, Adam was praying before bed. Usually, he likes to give us a laundry list of things to pray for (like Busy Bees and Lovable Lions...his classes at preschool....and the Thomas table that's in one of his classes). Well, tonight, I urged him to talk to Jesus himself and thank him for those things. Anyway, he said he wanted to be a Superhero to keep people safe...like Brooke in Schoolhouse friends. Brooke is a girl that he seems to have taken a fancy to at the Thanksgiving program. He was sitting next to her while we were eating refreshments afterwards. For awhile after that, we would have to stand at the end of the hall when we were leaving preschool waiting for Brooke and her mom to walk by...where Adam would proceed to run off or make noises :-). I think it's cute!

Also, just so I have a picture in this post...I'm going to include one of Andrew at his gramma's house. There is a cabinet in the kitchen that he loves to get into. Adam has always loved it since it has plastic pitchers and a wooden serving tray. He'd like to serve us "pizza". Well, gramma has since learned to empty almost everything out, and Andrew likes to get into the cabinet, say "ByeBye" and close himself in. It's really cute, so I'm glad I got a picture.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year! We went to Dan's parent's house again for the long weekend and celebrated with his parents and sister and her family. We had treats on New Year's Eve (sausage balls, chili con queso with chips, and chips and french onion dip) and most of us stayed up to watch the ball drop at midnight (my 2 kids were the only ones that missed it). During the evening and night, it snowed...so we woke up to a winter fairyland. It was a beautiful, wet snow that stuck to the trees. The kids went out sledding on the hill before New Year's dinner, and I got some great pictures. Adam was out for about an hour and a half, and he cried when he had to come inside. Only Kelsey, grampa, and dad were able to stay outside as long as him. Here are some pictures from sledding. I also have video, but I may not have time to add it.
