Christmas is Coming!!!

Yes folks, Christmas is on it's way! Only 15 days, 7 hours and 28 minutes...but hey, who's counting?
Here are just a few reasons how I know Christmas is coming:

1. The nativity scene on the piano.

We are going "small" this year and not putting much up because of our --soon to be here-- trip.


2. Little kids eating Gingerbread Houses.

 Reason #3 (my favorite) is....

Christmas cards : D

4. The music in the air!

I love Christmas carols!


Well, that's all for right now...

WISHING EVERYONE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Editing!

Presently editing my blog face.... Trying to give it a "winter look"....
Let's hope I don't mess to many things up!!! Wish me luck :)

A Summary Of Random Events

Hello Everyone!
I know it has been awhile since my last post and so... I thought I would catch y'all up on a just couple random things that have happened since Thanksgiving week.

Random things like goin' hunting:
Papa and I went hunting last Monday and we didn't see anything --the two blurs we saw don't count--
When we came home we found these two little hunters "going hunting":

I thought they were so cute :)
-----------------------------------

Crafty things like:
Going to sewing class this Saturday and making a candy bowl.  (Joanna, Abigail, I and sometimes Faith go almost every first Saturday of the month.)

Joanna sewing the pieces together! 

Erica showing Joanna and Abigail the next step. 

Showing Abigail and Keturah how to sew the snaps on! 

Ams sewing snaps on.

The first step was to sew the interfacing and two swatches of fabric together. Then we had to sew six snaps on....and.....tada...

The finished project!!!

--------------------------------
Crazy things like: running to change after Church and then going to pick up a road*kill:

Lds and Papa had the right idea...they just put on their hunting clothing over their church outfits!  

Taking the guts out (won't show some of the pictures I took, I know that some of you don't care for that type of thing....and I want you to come back)!!! 

Uncle Eddie, Papa and Lds, looking at the deer. 

Getting ready to skin...

Well, not much else has happend lately.... Life has been good and we have been very busy; with school and preparing for our trip to AZ.


Will post when something "blog worthy" happens!


Au revoir,
Zippi

A Thanksgiving Celebration!!

Yesterday we had many friends and family over for a Thanksgiving celebration.

Thanksgiving has always been my very favorite holiday. I think one of the reasons it’s my favorite is because I have lots of things to be thankful for!
                                                                          *****

I am thankful for the wonderful people we have over....

****

Another reason that I am thankful for Thanksgiving is because of the delicious food that is served!

The mashed potatoes! 

Grandpa carving the turkey.

Mom working on the ham :) 

Aunt Carol  

The food...waiting to be eaten.

****

I am thankful for nice cousins that we can play and talk with!

David and Bethany :) 

Josh and Lincoln, playing with legos! 

Ping-pong with cousins can get pretty wild! 

and funny ! 

Hope and I.

Dear little Elainah :) 

Kaitlyn :)

You are soooo cute Joyanna!

****

I am very thankful that my Grandpa and Grandma from IL got to come down for a week.

My wonderful Grandparents!

----------------------------------------------------------------

I am so THANKFUL for the many things God has given me.

           Thankfully Yours,

                      Zoe



Oh give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
1 Chronicles 16:8  (KJV)

B is for Bethany !

Bethany is a little *sunshine* She is also my little 4yr old sister. Who gets into everything and anything, but always manages to look like she knows nothing about it !
 She is hilarious and I'm loving watching her grow. 


This is our blue eyed blondie:

She may be only 4 but she already has a sense of style. (Her own style):

Love it!!! Yes, I think she is a real cutie :)

------------------------------------------
Lincoln is Bethany's favorite playmate ... They do everything together, like robbing stagecoach's or catching up with bad guys. Better get out of these buckaroos way!

 No surie, ya don't want ta get in our way :D


She loves trying new things...like walking around in snowshoes on the carpet, it took a little doing.

Speaking of trying new things, this is what I found when Mom called me yesterday to go get Bethany. I guess, that she had decided  the banana and peanut-butter tastes better when you grab a hunk of banana and mush it into the jar... what joy!

*see, I told you she always looks so innocent* 

and...tada! Banana feast...err, yes it looks very yummy :P

Yep, that’s our princess!

I LOVE YOU BETHANY!!!

Keepers @ Home; A Meeting

Today Keepers was at our house! The topic was poems, and we each had to bring along a poem to recite.

Mom started off the class with a little speech about poems. She told us about different types of poems...(example):  Verse is a line of poetry. Quatrain a stanza or poem of four lines. You get the idea :)

Paying close attention!

Good job Mom :)

Then she paired us off in groups and we each had to write a different type of poem.

Elisabeth & I, working on our poem.

Working away!

What hard working poem writers :)

After that we had to recite the poems we had brought along....in front of everybody.
I thought that everyone did really well!

Kaitlyn doing; Psalm Of Life

Joanna, reading a poem that was made into a song! 

Anna

After everybody had recited their poems and we had sang some songs....it was: Tea Party Time.

The food was delicious, and the company was wonderful :D Here are some pictures of the mouth-watering yummies!

Elisabeth.... 

Elainah :) 

Just a picture of some of the pastry's... 

Teacups galore! 

Mmmm....which tea do I want? 

Awe....Bethany !  

The scones & Lemon bars 

Grapes, cheese & crackers 

Keepers was so much fun, thanks for coming everyone!




Have a wonderful week,

Zoë
