Christmas

Pictures are coming soon - J.W. has been sick so I haven't taken the time to download everything. And no, our Christmas card didn't get lost in the mail - I haven't sent any. Maybe New Year's cards... or Valentine's Day... So goes life with 4 kiddos; we are blessed!!!!

Anna Claire's Early Birthday Celebration

We had an early 12th birthday celebration for Anna Claire. We spent the evening at Fiesta Texas with the kids running from one ride to the next. They loved being able to ride the coasters over and over again!

Christmas Pageant

Chloe Mae was the camel guide and Sara Beth was the golden sheep. Sweet, sweet girls.

Our Family

I took this picture as we walked into church this morning. Look how tall Anna Claire is! Mike is 6'2" and AC is wearing flats. Wow! Chloe Mae is holding J.W., as usual, and he is sound asleep. Sara Beth is wearing black socks on her hands in preparation for her role as a sheep in the Christmas Pageant.

Sara Beth's Kinder Class

This is the fun we had painting the dough gingerbread people we made. All 80 kinder students painted one - they had a ball. Now I get to varish them, yea...

Sara Beth

She wanted a haircut... this is before.
This is after, she is in the middle between the little girl wearing black and the one in the print. She looks so big! These pictures are from her Girl Scout Investiture Cermony on Friday night.

Her Daisy Leaders, sweetest ladies.

Chloe Mae, Anna Claire and one of Sara Beth's friends sister's were helpers since they are all older Girl Scouts.

Region Orchestra

Anna Claire and her fellow Driscoll Defender classmates. We spent more than 1 hr curling her hair - she was beautiful! And the concert was amazing. I have video but haven't figured out how to upload it. The young man with the hat is 1st chair. He comes from a family of musicians and is very talented. Anna Claire is determined to surpass him at least once this year (she is 2nd chair and holding). The boy in between them is her dear friend, Dallin. Great kid!

Making Gingerbread People at 5 a.m.

I am helping the kinder kids (yes, all 80 of them) with a fun art project. We (Sara Beth and I) made salt dough ornaments and the kids are decorating them on Wed morning. It goes along with the gingerbread man theme they are following this week. So, when Mike left at 5 a.m. this morning to catch a plane, Sara Beth and J.W. heard people up, and of course, they got up. Sara Beth and I were able to make enough for kinder and Chloe Mae's class of 23 before she left for school. Wow! J.W. finally gave into sleep around 7 a.m.

Comegys Christmas Party with Santa

Our friends - Lauren, Karin, and Brian. They girls were so very thoughtful and allowed the younger kids to see Santa before they did. Love these kiddos!!!!

Now that is love...

Comegys Christmas Party with Santa

Sara Beth and Santa. She told him she wants Pixos.

Anna Claire wants the 2nd Narnia movie.

Chloe Mae asked for a Kick n' Go scooter.

J.W. didn't cry! That's a first for the Beasley babies. What a good Santa...

First Presbyterian Choir Program

Tonight was the choir program at church. Sara Beth was not pleased about having to wear the robe. She was wearing a new Christmas dress and thought it was silly to cover up such a pretty dress!

Sweet girl...
J.W. and all his teeth. He loves this bouncy seat. He jumps up and down as long as we will let him.

We had our advent festival today. The kids had lots of fun.

Estes Park

We were able to very close to several different elk yesterday. This was the largest.

Happy snow girls. They were lovin' life!

Another large elk.

Estes Park

We went to Cheyenne, WY today, just cause we could. This ram was on the side of the road as we left the mountain region. Very cool.

There are these type of boots all over Cheyenne. Kinda like the cows were in SA.

This was a monument in front of the state capital that paid honor to the fact that WY was the first state to recognize equal rights for women.

Mike and the kids in front of the capital. It was closed. It reminded us of a small town courthouse. There is an elementary school directly across the street and houses along the back side. Very, very low key. We thought the pace was slow in Estes Park, but it was really slow in Cheyenne!

Largest outdoor rodeo arena in the world.

Estes Park

This is Fall River. It is about 15 ft from our front door. Sara Beth loves to come and go from the river...

We went to the premier of Twilight for Anna Claire (with Mike). CM, SB, J.W. and I went to Bolt. Neat theater.

J.W. and Sara Beth having fun while we waited for AC's movie to be over.

J.W. at the airport.

Chloe Mae loving life.

Sara Beth loves it too.
