LOOK WHO GOT BRACES!
I didn't have any pictures of Johanna at Christmas so here are a few. She still loves soccer and plays the piano. Some of her favorite things from Christmas were her ipod radio player, gift cards, a electronic globe that you can upload info from the internet on and of course books and more books.

A few Christmas photos. I wish I took more. The kids woke up and had to find their stockings. Bryan and I told them they had to wait until 7:00am to wake us up. They actually did good. Grandma Chandler made all the kids flannel jammies and rice bags. Juli and Corina both got cash registers so they can shop. Hmmmm... where do they get that from?

Emily loves games and listening to stories at night so she got a new cd player. How many has she gone through now? Who knows.

We got new Christmas lights this year. The nativity is also in the front yard. So pretty at night time.



Corina and Juli both got dolls and lots of doll clothes. Juli wants to visit the American girl store in Chicago for her birthday. How did she hear about that? I think she watched in on Jon and Kate pluse 8. She seriously plays with her dolls all the time. She was almost asleep the other night and jumped up and said, " Oh, I forgot to cover up Nellie!" They have beds and the works. It's so cute. How come Jo and Em never liked them?

Casey with his new Nemo jammies and Nemo fishy. He loves his new garbage truck too. He stores all his stuff in it. He needs his garbage truck to sleep with. At night I can hear the thump of it on the floor when it drops.

MISSION RIDGE

Bryan took Kaden, Emily, Noah and Corina and put them in ski lessons last Saturday. They had a great time and Bryan also got his fill in for skiing. Noah had no fear and wants to go again. Bryan says I'm next. It's been 20 years though. Will I remember?

Emily

Corina

Doing great!!!!

My cute little snow bunny Corina.

Noah and Kaden are in Hockey.

At first Noah could barely skate. Now he is doing great and even skating backward great. They practice about 3 times a week.
He is called a Squirt and Kaden is a Bantam.

In motion.
