Annelise was a sheep in our church's first Christmas play

December was a full month for us. We enjoyed some time at home, as well as celebrating Jesus's birthday at my parents house, then having some of John's family at our house to celebrate the New Year. It was a nice month.

Terra

Here are some family photos with Terra. We had a lot of fun with her and we are thankful that Annelise will remember her a little. November 3rd, 2010

Belated Birthday

On July 5th, Annelise turned 4 years old. We had a birthday party for her. She had a great time with her friends and was just telling me about her special cupcake. That reminded me that I have not shared the photos here. It was a hot July day so we had a morning party. Because of the 4th of July holiday being on July 5th, we were able to have the party on her birthday. I am sorry I did not post these sooner. The first few pictures are from a few days after her birthday. We went hiking after church, then went to the park for fireworks in the evening.
