Picture time!
We went out to
Roscoe Village on Saturday when we went to Columbus for Hannah's baptism. It happened to be their Christmas celebration, so Santa made a stop to color with the kids. Awesome! He even drew a picture for Haley. Here she is showing her gratitude:
And of course, Haley and colored pencils can't be in the same room for 20 seconds with the little artist making use of the drawing implements...
OK. So this next picture has some motion blur, but the story is so sweet, I just had to share it. Kelsee had wrapped the presents for me, Cameron and Haley and placed them into some big sacks (like Santa would carry), each with our names embroidered on them, and placed them under the tree. I had not yet wrapped any of Kelsee's (I know I procrastinate; leave me alone), and Haley commented on the absence of presents for her mother. Even though we explained, Haley was still concerned. She disappeared for a short while we went about our normal activities.
When she returned, she handed Kelsee a a brown paper bag tied closed with a ribbon. She told Kelsee that it was present for her with all her favorite things. Inside the back were indeed many of Kelsee's favorite things. Without our knowing, she had gone outside and gathered leaves, sticks, rocks, walnuts, and pinecones, then grabbed a few things inside pencil, candy, picture of Haley.
This picture says it all:
Here's Haley at her class Christmas party. The freaking looking blurry kid is Blaine. He's not really freaking looking or blurry. It's just the picture. Honestly. BTW, all the kids are wearing jammies because the received an "in school snow day" for filling their compliment jar.
And last but not least, one of the coolest buildings in existance: the
Longeberger Basket Company's home office. Seven above ground stories complete with easy to grip carrying handles, located in the middle of nowhere several miles from Columbus.
Amazing...
