Amyism #54 & #55

A couple of weekends back we were invited to a Christmas party at the BOWLING alley.  We were running a little early, so decided to take a drive down Vine Street to see the lights.  As we were driving down the street, Amy shouted, "Hey, look at the donkeys!" referring to some reindeer ;)

 

A couple minutes later, she asked, "When are we going to go play with the milk bottles?"

So...here is what the Shicklets would have looked like in the mid 1800's.
We had the great opportunity of attending a civil war ball. It was very

You can see, even Nala is begging for some, and Hannah is trying to get some first ;)

everyday News, and then some

Our family really enjoys the little news casts from everyday News, and we watch them periodically. Today, little Hannah was asking permission from the older kids if she could get on the step stool with them. They said that she couldn't, and Hannah (2 y.o.) replied, "And this is everyday news. Amy and Caleb are not nice. And this is everyday News."

Thank you for the Happy Birthday, Guys
