Which is the real girl and which is the American Girl?

Merry Christmas!

We celebrated Jesus' birth today with an angel food birthday cake, candy cane candle, and egg nog ice cream (a blend of the meaningful and the timely.)

ICE!

ICE! The Opryland version, of course! After being inside the 8 degree building, the outside temperature of 50 seemed more like a summer day! We had a lot of fun, and no one got hurt sliding down the ice slide!

Happy 50th Birthday!

Today we had the final celebration of Eddie's (November 13) 50th birthday, as his gift, a pellet stove, was installed. It looks great, cranks out the heat, and will be forever a remind of this special occasion!

Emily is Baptized!

Got the Fever

Daniel got the fever for a four-wheeler! Emily posed for this shot after riding as a passenger in the front, but Daniel did all the driving he could (with help from Grandpa Euel, of course.) Grandpa Euel and Grandma Wannie are Eddie's "other parents," as we call them, with a ranch in the mountains of NM.

Part four in the series on our trip to see family and friends in TX/NM last week.

Carlsbad Caverns

We took a side trip to Carlsbad Caverns on the way to visit other family. Considering that our last science class was on caves, this couldn't have been more timely!!! It was great to explore with only a few other people around.
