First Snow of the Season

My poor poor Libby! She was so excited about the snow, she couldn't quite grasp the concept that there really wasn't that much snow! She had to bundle up and go outside anyway!

She headed straight for her swing set.

It was feeling neglected...it hadn't been played on since fall!

Here is my precious little one tossing up snowballs into the air and trying to catch flakes in her mouth as it came down!

There is nothing more fun than playing on a trampoline covered in snow (and leaves). Libby tried making a snow angel on the ground but it didn't work out.
Here she is giving it a try on her trampoline..it worked better!

Libby even had to try her sled. I tried to explain to her if you can still see grass, there is not enough snow to sled.

She didn't really care. She was having fun sledding down what she thinks is a hill.

Actually, it's more like a bump in the yard!

A Birthday Party

My BFF Vosko's baby boy turns 1! Libby and I went to his birthday party one early Sunday afternoon (after I worked Friday and Saturday night)! Libby had a good time playing with the other kids at the party and even made off with over half of the party favors!

Here is Jack. He is very excited to turn 1!

This is the only pic I got where Libby actually was looking at me!

Not a single cooperative kid in the bunch!

One picture...is that too much to ask!?

Field Trip

Libby had her first Kindergarten field trip to the Children's Museum. I was lucky enough to be one of the parent chaperones. Although five minutes into the hour long bus ride to Indy I thought I must have been crazy to have volunteered! The kids finally calmed down after 15 minutes! It was nice to be able to spend some time with Libby and learn who the kids in her class are! I think all the kids had a good time!

Libby on the carousel...one of her favorite things!

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!
Yes, she is getting good at pics with her eyes closed!



Here are the kids "skating" on the "ice!"

Oooh...wipe-out!

Here's Libby playing on the castle inside the winter wonderland!

This part was really cool.

They had a huge kitchen set up with a big oven, plenty of food, dishes and what-not!

Libby getting her baked goods out of the oven!

Look! She even put her oven mitts on first!

Thanksgiving!

Another Thanksgiving at the Hoover House...

Libby picked out her ensemble all by herself.

She was very insistent on her dress.

I tried to persuade her in an entirely different direction,

but she wasn't having it.

I think she looks like a go-go dancer.

She's still beautiful!

Here are 3/4ths of the girls,

acting crazy as usual!


It has been a long time since I've actually gotten all the kids together in a picture!
I guess they are all old enough now to sit still for 5 seconds!
Nathan 10, Kenzie 8, Cassie 7, Libby 5, Jules 4

I'm positive everyone had a great time...
There weren't any leftovers to speak of
and the play room was a mess!
