Winter Break and Art

My classes have been keeping me really busy,
but have also provided some family fun.

This is an example of what I have been doing in Ceramics.
Butterfly Mask, clay, before firing

Some artsy shots of the kids.
I had to visit two museums in Williamstown, Ma for my class.
It turned into a family trip.

These are taken at Williams College.

A Little bit of Ruby

Peeking around the corner looking for Mom. She really does keep track of me.

Loving her bunny from Grandma Green!

How can you resist this face?

It is even cute with a little bit of a runny nose.

And these curls, are amazing!

She is the Best baby, she keeps herself busy and stays out of trouble at least for now.....

Snow Day

Wyatt wanted to build a snowman,

but the snow was no longer sticking together,

so a football was sufficient.

Sydnie was telling me how cold her face was,

and that she was ready to go in and warm up.

Austyn built her own snowman when the snow was sticking together.

A Snowcapped Ruby. She was happy as could

be in her little suit on my back.

And a snowcapped Mom and Ruby.

We actually spent a good part of the

day out in the snow. We intended to just

go on a walk, then we found our friends

and started sledding, and stayed for a while.

But it was nice to be out of the house

and busy having fun in the snow.

The Stockings are hung and filled, Santa must have visited......

It looks like he did!

Sydnie was very Exctied to get this
many chapsticks all for her!
And a case to put them in!

Wyatt was super excited to get a nerf vest
for all of his ammo to go into.

Austyn loves art, she asks every year for a
new art kit and every year she gets one.
She really does enjoy it and having a mother
who loves art, it is encouraged in our house.

Ruby June, we found this busy box and
it is very cool! To get the shaped out she
has to open a door on the other side
with a key. She has used it for many
minutes, well as many as a 1 yr old has
attention for.

Merry Christmas!

We had a really great Christmas at our house. Everyone enjoyed what they received. We are so blessed and grateful to have the things that we do. It was a delightful day! There was lots of good food to eat, fun times, and relaxing. We couldn't have asked for a better day.

* Sydnie's favorite part of Christmas was getting stripped tights.

*Austyn's favorite part about Christmas was the food!

*Jordan favorite part about Christmas was seeing the joy on his children's faces,
and his itunes cards.

*Wyatt's favorite part of Christmas was getting his nerf bow and arrow.

*Ruby was happy to see all the commotion and did love her busy box.

*Keighty's favorite part of Christmas was taking a short nap, and seeing the joy on her family's faces.

Ruby is 1 year old!

Yummy Cake!

Finally her very own phone!

Her sibling helpers

She is our little Ruby Beauty

It's Beggining to look alot like Christmas Break

The kids are home, Craft time it is. This is what it looked like after only 40 min.

They were making flowers, you can kind of see one in the middle there.

Finished Flowers and a clean table.

The kids made 28 of these little beauties and then we went to a
Christmas party at an Elderly Care Home and the kids
handed them out to all of the Elderly people. They had a great time,
and the Elderly people loved seeing the kids and their creations.

Busy December

We have been busy, and so busy that I didn't get any pictures to show just how busy. But We had something every weekend in December. It is nice to be busy though. Austyn, Ruby, Jordan and I attended a dance convention in Boston the first weekend. The next weekend we were able to go and see Scrooge preformed by the Woodstock high school. Then Austyn and Sydnie danced beautifully in a recital On December 17. That brings us to Ruby's birthday and Christmas celebrations. In between all of that we all went to work and school. Wyatt also started basketball.
