Klaire's Pigtails

Klaire does not like bows in her hair. So I tricked her today by putting her hair in pigtails, way in the back of her head.  Oh, and her shirt is wet from her attempts at brushing her teeth!

Mrs. Snowman was a good diverstion in my attempts at getting a good picture.

Oh and did I mention, this was her first time in pigtails. And for anyone who is interested they stayed in tack for close to 37 minutes, a new Klaire record for hair accessories.

 

Okay mom enough of this picture stuff! 

Karoline is 3

Wow, I just can't believe it! Can she really be three? Our sweet Karoline is a preschooler now. My my my how time truly flies. Here is a look back of the past three years of Karoline (she calls herself Kara- pronounced Kah-uh).

But first a bit about her at three.

Sweet. Yes, she is sweet. But... she can turn on a dime! Watch out!
Caring. She sees a need, whether it be a paccy, blanket, shoe, or drink and she takes care of the need. It amazes me that a 3 year old can anticipate others' needs. A great characteristic.
Tough. She can take on her 6 year old 60lb sister and her hair pulling, toy stealing baby sister. She is tough, and lets them know it on a daily basis.

What a blessing God has given us in Karoline. May she come to know and follow Christ Jesus at a very early age.

 

 

That was a wasp sting- right on her lip!

Sisterly love

Christmas here we come!

Cards are sent, tree is up, inflatable snowman outside! I think we are getting ready.

Here is a quick overveiw of the Christmas festivites in the Mullis' world.

Christmas parade last week. It was COLD! Our church had a float in the parade and the girls- Katy and Karoline that is- just loved riding on the float. Katy was a cow and Karoline a bit of a sheep in the nativitiy themed float.

Can you find Karoline?

They both had a great time. Kris took pictures and Klaire kept warm in the van.

We have also been working on our Jesse Tree, although it is a wreath. We have been making the ornaments this year. The Jesse Tree is a great way to keep the focus of each day in December on Christ and the leading up to his birth. It is a great Christmas tradition. I will get pictures up of it soon.

More to come, so keep checking back. Also visit my blog, Prelude to Home and see our Christmas decorations inside the house.

Happy Anniversary to Us!

9 years today!

God has blessed us so.

Check out my personal blog Prelude to Home to read the story of us.

Tea anyone?

I was going through my picture files and found these of Karoline back in the summer. She loves having tea parties, dinner parties, lunch parties, whatever suits her she is up for a party! And as always her buddies Boz and Ducky (prounounced Ucky) always are the guests of honor, although Ducky wasn't allowed any food at this particular party- I forget why.
