I am so old!

I cannot believe that Riley turned 13 on April 10th.  Am I really old enough to have a teenager? 

Christmas Day

We had a great Christmas Day. 

Christmas Eve

Christmas with Todd's family

Pokagon State Park

Todd and I took the kids to Pokagon State Park today to toboggan with Landin's scout pack.  They had fun going down the hill, and I had fun taking pictures of them. 

Festival of Gingerbread

The kids made Gingerbread projects with some friends from Fellowship Gym Class.  They entered their projects into the Festival of Gingerbread at the History Center.  Landin made the Polar Express train going up the mountain, Amelia made a carousel, and Riley made One Summit Square.  Amelia's group won the Presidential Award.  We were told it was for creativity.

Sleeping Beauty Ballet

New American Youth Ballet did two performances of Sleeping Beauty today.  They let the Children's Division audition, and Amelia got the part of a wedding guest.  Amelia started coughing last Sunday.  Thursday she had a fever.  Friday she had no fever and went to dress rehearsal.  This morning she was coughing but had no fever.  We gave her cough medicine and breathing treatments and she was able to perform.  She was a very elegant wedding guest!  Right before she went to bed she told me she felt really cold.  She ended up with a 102 fever again!  She is really upset that she has to miss church tomorrow and 2 parties, but she is happy she was able to perform.  She had her camera and took some pics backstage.  I took a few, too!

Mohawk!

Todd gave Riley a mohawk for the Homeschool National Tourney. His team came in 4th place this year.
