I love this picture. These are most of "my girls" from my Friday Bible study and I am so glad we have it documented
my sister

then after lunch we can home to decorate grandmas tree
sadly this picture came out fuzzy but you can still see that we had a christmassy time

the kids insisted gram put on the angel

then we went down to put up the boys tree downstairs

and finished off the day putting up the decorations at church. 3 trees in one day may be a family record

the kids were happy that aunt betty wanted the boxes re wrapped ripping the paper off fake gifts is even fun

"hippy Christmas"

christmas tree #1

my 3 little elves decorated our 1st tree in the house today
the best night light

FYI the face paint is from the children's museum earlier in the day

very serious work I guess

then we had a little pampering happening, ahh 2 girls what fun

as we head home

the little kids made a plan to keep us from leaving



we drove and stopped in Louisville to visit louisville slugger on Abbies recommendation. so after we ate we walked by this thing. It was a science museum, sadly no time to visit today. I didn't even notice Bs face is covered till now- oops

this is the woulds largest bat next to my tiny little son

we even enjoyed the batting cages

the big boys got 40 mph pitches

the worker said sky needs to be in baseball, ugh

after the tour everyone gets a little bat my kids were thrilled! this really is a great stop if your ever around Louisville. we all had a fun time. Thanks ab

then it was back in the car for another 7 snowy hours to sweet home chicago.
