New...or maybe, old...videos

Since I now have figured out how to get videos on the blog...I'm back tracking and downloading some of my favorites.

Here is one of Kiley singing. I had been trying to get this for a while without her knowing and finally got her!

A Family Christmas

We went to A Family Christmas at Lake Norman Baptist the first weekend in December. Great time, as always! The girls loved the smores! I think the favorite every year is the carriage rides.

Operation Christmas Child

On December 1st, we took a field trip to Operation Christmas Child. It really was a great experience. The kids all brought a shoebox filled with gifts and they explained what happens from there. The girls were able to fill in and color a sheet telling all about them and include their address, so maybe they'll get a letter one day?

It's amazing to see how much goes into this ministry! Many of these kids have never received a gift, ever! How different our life is from most of the world!

Print your blog!!!! Yes, I said print your blog!!!

Did you know you can print your blog with very little effort! I found this tool online where it automatically puts your blog entries with pictures into book form, comments and all! It's going to me my new scrapbook for each year and I can get a couple printed out so each girl will have one some day. The cover and text could be improved, but I would think they will be improving it for the future. Check it out. It will show you a preview in just a few minutes.

For some reason my links don't work, so go here:

Update: Lindsay just commented about www.blurb.com and that one looks like a much nicer quality book for about the same price. I had looked at that one a while back but didn't see the option to download your blog...but you can!!!

Sisters....

Ashlyn gets scared easily during movies. I mean, even when the Man in the Yellow Hat has to tell everyone "there never was a statue!" She use to run to me during any suspenseful, uncomfortable, or scary scene. But I am glad to say, she will now go to her sister (some)times for comfort!

Soccer Comes to an End...

Ashlyn's soccer schedule ended (in early November). She was so excited to get a trophy and really liked soccer. She said she wants to play again, but not with girls that can run so fast!!
