December Shots

WOW! It's been a while since I posted anything! I hope you like the changes I made to the blog. New Year, New Look!

Here are LOTS of pictures from December, including The SayGan Invasion!

Mikey building levels out of the driveway's ice blocks. (Too Much Angry Birds!)

Hold on Katie!!!

Katie got a new tooth for Christmas.

He Came! He Came! He Came!

Zehnders and Bronners

Yippee! One last trip to the Water Park in Frankenmuth to end the year! We had a great time. Here are just a few pictures of our days on vacation.

Katie put her "hat" on.

Katie swinging from Derek's hand.

Time to leave the water park :(

Off to Bronners! Christmas will never end for our family!

Mikey LOVES Nutcrackers.

Sewing Day

Katie took a really good nap and Derek and Mikey were out, so I finally had time to set up my sewing machine and hem some pants that have been sitting on my table for a month.

I just felt like sewing more, so I made Katie a little pillow from old receiving blankets. I don't know if she'll use it, but it's soft so maybe she'll like it in her bed.

Then I got really inspired and made a little quilt/pad for Katie's cradle. Now her dolls will have something a little softer to sleep on :) I cut and sewed all the squares, put quilt batting in it and sewed on a solid color back! I'm very impressed with myself if you can't tell already. I can't wait for you to see it in person!

Jackie's First Thanksgiving!

Wow! It's been a long time since the last Homecoming post!

Here's a little taste of our wonderful weekend at Jackie and Jason's house. It was a great first Thanksgiving on Guild, and we're looking forward to this family tradition for years to come!

T wanted to try out Mikey's head dress from school.

"We're thankful for our feast. We're thankful for our feast. Thank you, Jackie and Jason, for cooking our feast. We're thankful for our feast."

Time to dig in.

Mikey was talking about the turkey leg Jackie was going to cook him for Thanksgiving for the last month. He enjoyed every bite of it!

Happy Birthday to Us - Cha Cha Cha!

Katie in her sleeping mask.

Nice first Christmas Tree!

Great decorating!

School Spirit!

Go Hornets!

Go Spartans!

The Most Popular Fair on Earth

Before we get to the fair stuff, here are a couple other fun pictures from the week.

First, we have Mikey and the friendship bracelet he made at school.


Second, Katie got her new Rosie train stuck in her hair.

Okay - now here are fun pictures from our super awesome trip to the Hillsdale County Fair.

Here are Mikey and Katie playing on the hotel baggage cart.

(I was almost as fun as a shower curtain rod.)

Mikey and Jackie relaxing on a bale of hay outside Grange Hall.

Getting ready for rides, rides, and more rides.

Waiting for the train ride to start.

Mmmm... Corndogs!

I think you guys have a picture in a boat ride like this.

Mikey got to ride this all by himself - big boy!

Fun time on the carousel!

Katie taking it all in... she'll be riding the rides next year.

Last ride - the Bubble Bee ride.

Mikey was dizzy after this one, and couldn't walk straight when it was done.

Great spot for the parade!

Katie was a natural "waiver."

We may have a beauty queen in the making.

The Tea Party hits Hillsdale.

Saucy Dogs for lunch!

More corndogs for Mikey.
