BETTER WATCH OUT...

he's comin' to town! :0)

Haha... I realized when posting this, that Brandon's pants look really small!
I promise... they're really not short or too small :0)

Going over the list....

Brother was cramping sissy's style so... he had to go.  Haha :0)

Why we celebrate...

The "magic" North Pole mailbox...

Little man thought is was pretty neat too :0)

POLAR EXPRESS....

Last week the kids and I joined a few others from the homeschool group and took a morning field trip to a local farm.  It was chilly, but sunny which was nice; the kids had a GREAT time.  There was story telling, a tractor ride, crafts, lots of play time and s'mores (which were a huge hit...no surprise there :0).  The theme was the Polar Express (that was the story read, the tractor ride was named the "Polar Express Train" and the kids got to color and make ornaments based on the story).

Next stop planned for the entire Siver Clan....Santa!

Brandon is learning how to "smile" for pictures... haha :0)

Slide was a huge hit with all the kids...and even a few parents :0)

I loved this hay maze as I could simply stand back and watch
him run... he LOVED this thing!

One of the few times she was playing, but stopped running
long enough for me to take a picture... haha :0)

Even Mommy would have to admit...
these things were pretty darn good!

SERVING OTHERS...

This Christmas season has been a huge blessing for our family as we've had the opportunity to purchase a few items for the Salvation Army and bake some cookies for a few friends and neighbors. Bailey has been a big part of this as we continue to instill in her the blessing of giving to others.

Thank you Lord for your many blessings.  We are not a rich family, but you have provided for our needs (along with a couple of wonderful extra blessings) and we are so very thankful.
