Ellie still needs to be upright after she eats and reading is a favorite activity while she's stuck in her highchair.
Just because it's cute!
We took pictures the Sunday before Christmas.
Ellie wasn't cooperating with her brothers but they were looking good!
It snowed a lot the week of Christmas, which was perfect because we had time to go sledding a lot. We can sled on the hill that is behind the elementary school, as long as you stop before you hit the brick building :).
Ian and Levi made this snow tunnel.
Christmas Eve, after our candle-lighting (and flashlight for Ellie) ceremony.
Christmas morning!
John took the boys sledding Christmas afternoon, and while there were several families sledding, Ian was the one the photographer choose to put on the front page of the newspaper the next day! He was going over a jump, which he surprisingly didn't get hurt on (until later in the week, that is).
Ian did not do this sledding, but in movement class at school. We thought it might be broken, it was very swollen and bruised, but no, just sprained. He tried to write with his left hand for a few days but thankfully it got better quickly.
Caleb and Levi sang in their winter concert in December. Levi wasn't feeling too well that day, but he really, really wanted to be in the program. He went and made it through, but I took him home right after, he was pretty miserable. But this is the first time he's been sick in at least the past year and a half he's been in school (probably in the past 3 or so years) so he's not doing too bad!
