Christmas Blessings!

Ok, So this hasn't exactly been a year of blogging for me... I imagine that will change this coming year. Here is a quick update on us.

The girls are amazing and doing so very well!

Abigail is 9 now and still loves school. She is playing on a competitive "travel" soccer team and Loves it! (thankfully at this age, travel doesn't really mean traveling!) She is a fierce reader and an even fiercer Lego fiend! Case in point, she got Hogwarts (harry potter's school) Lego set for Christmas and finished putting it together the next day! She's amazing and sweet and helpful and sarcastic and we have a lot of fun together.

Ava Lynn just turned 6. She is a Beautiful and Sweet, Spicy little girl. She has a Love of adventure and is in perpetual motion (Kinda like her mother!) This year she started Kindergarten and she really likes that. She loves her teacher (Mrs. Schmidt) and is learning to read. She still loves books and can sit for hours making up stories to go with the pictures. Now she is even writing "sentences" and reading some things! She is currently our little dancer and loves her Tap and ballet class with her two best buds, Gianna and Victoria.

Ella is communicating much better now. It's been a long year for her. She tested out of both Physical and Speech Therapy. Both of which we are trying to continue with a little at home. She currently goes to Pre School at the JCC and loves her teacher Miss Rachel. She is quite the chatterbox and has a Great imagination! She is 3 years old right now and talks constantly about her birthday party :) (which isn't until May) She loves to sing and will sing for hours if given the opportunity!

I'm doing great! I love being a Mom and spending time with the girls is my favorite thing! I started an online shop this year on Etsy. www.EdenLynnrose.etsy.com. I'm making boutique children's clothes now on the side (along with all of my other daily adventures and things I do "on the side") The shop took a "time-out" once Kindergarten started! I had forgotten how much prep and talk time that takes!
We got to go to a giant Aukema(n) family reunion this fall and that was a lot of fun! guess who is charge of planning the next one? YEP! Me! So, if any of you cousins are reading this... prepare to be stalked for your attendance! :)

Love you all! and Many Christmas Blessings Wishes from our house to yours!
God Bless!
