I know that I’m several weeks late, but April attended Ean’s preschool party for Valentines day. The kids had a blast playing games and eating cupcakes and cookies. They played with a parachute and silly races. Great fun by all!

Here is some pictures and a couple of video clips to show for you.

It looks like April’s great crafty skills has helped the Indiana McIntosh family win the 1st McIntosh Holiday Challenge.

Great job, April! I know how much you disliked the putting the icing on and the fact that you wouldn’t let me bloody the horses head and have the other animals eating it.

I know – crappy home videos that people dread watching, but I wanted to share them anyways.

Ean’s preschool class made a trip to the Christian Care retirement community before Christmas to help spread some Christmas cheer and some of their excitement. The kids sang a couple of holiday tunes, handed out cookies that they helped decorate, and show off some of their favorite toys to the residents.

I was really surprised at how open Ean was in sharing and talking to the guests. He tends to shy away from the large crowd type of activities. Maybe he is growing up after all.

Well, our Christmas holiday is wrapping up and we are working on retiring the old stuff (clothes and toys) and moving the new toys/clothes into the rotation.

Other than the snowy and cold weather, our holiday was a good one. Ella wanted nothing to do with unwrapping presents, but loved pulling socks from the stockings. Ean, on the other hand, loves opening presents so much so that he was unwrapping his presents and not waiting for anyone to watch him.

We still owe a couple of gifts and should get them out hopefully by the beginning of the new year.

I hope everyone had a great holiday as well.

While there is not a creature stirring in the house, we wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and safe holidays!

Thought that I would try and get everyone into the mood.

Although a bit chilly, Halloween was fun this year.

Here are the photos from Hallow’s Eve.

I was going through my phone pictures and saw that I had some decent shots of the Bluffton fireworks.

It’s been a busy end of year.

Here is the slide show of the pictures from Christmas 2008 with multiple families involved.

I hope everyone is having a good new year. We are making preparations for Ella’s birthday party now.
