Hille Happenings-Holiday Style

It is amazing how fast one year flies by. I am excited for a new year to begin. I also like to take the time to look back at the past year by creating our Hille Family Highlights DVD of all the top photos from the year. Love looking back at the wonderful year. This year we had 195 top photos!

Noah made a Noah sized fire man at school.

Noel was in a stone soup performance at day care! She did great and she loved singing!

Noah loved putting all his tractors and cars in the Christmas barn before putting the nativity set in.

Thanksgiving and a 3 generation photo. True blessings in life.

Christmas. Peace in my heart. Peace in our living room.

Ben the elf. He is a nice elf. The only crazy thing he does is hang upside down sometimes from the curtain rod. The kids miss him already.

Noah and Mike snowmobiling in the backyard.

 

 

First time at Chuck E Cheese!

 

The kids enjoyed the rides at Chuck E Cheese.

I surprised Mike with a portable ice shanty for Christmas!

Noah was able to shop for us at school. He bought me a Barbie, Mike legos, and Noel a motorcycle. Before we opened them, he said we all need to share. This kid is something else.

Christmas prep at Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Rick's house. Noah always helps with the tree decorating.

Aunt Diane and Grandma Evelyn Wolosek. Love Christmas time to get together.

We enjoyed a winter wonderland in Bonduel the day before Christmas Eve.

Noah started wrestling practice in Bonduel. He weighs a whole 37 1/2 pounds at 5 years old.

Noah loves car shows. We filled up the whole rug!

Noah's new toys from Santa. Tractor, Mixer, and a crane!

Noel received a Barbie Fiat and Minnie Mouse pony cart from Santa.

Mike bought me cross country ski's for Christmas. Good thing Bonduel had snow for Christmas and I was able to ski around our yard on Christmas morning!

Nativity Barn. The real reason for Christmas. Happy Birthday Jesus!

Loving all the Christmas cards from everyone! Thank you!

 

 

The best part of starting a new year, a new planner from Emily Ley called "The Simplified Planner". Love Pink. 

Santa also brought blocks and today we made the tallest tower we could.

Enjoying my new Nikon camera from Mike! Thank you so much!

 

Happy New Year everyone! We were blessed with a great 2014 year! Thank you everyone for being a part of our great year! We love you all.

 

 

2015 Theme "Let's Do This" as Lara Casey would say! I started using her power sheets yesterday! I just love planning new goals!

 

October Highlights

October was a great month!

The fall colors at the park in Pulaski were awesome! Noah loved running up and down the dirt track.

 



 Finally got the drive way done for the shed.

 

Our pumpkins did not grow this year in our yard. Good thing we have a great pumpkin place a few roads away who grew great pumpkins!

Noel loves getting the littlest pumpkin!

 

 

Noel loved getting her Frozen winter boots and she wanted a ball. We ended up getting 3 tennis balls for $1.97. She ended up falling asleep on the way home.Too funny!

Noah loving his new snowmobile. Red just like Papa's. Noah is super excited for the snow storm this week.

 

Noel loving the snowmobile just as much. Playing pretend in their jammies!

Happy Halloween from the black bear and the princess!

Lots of trick or treat candy from Bonduel. It was cold, but worth it!

 

 

Ordered our Christmas photo cards last night! The holidays are coming up fast!

 

 

"Be Thankful Today!"

 

September Highlights

Mike rented a machine to dig a trench from our house to the shed to get electricity to the shed.

 

We brought the kids to the Bonduel High School Football game. Their favorite part was running up and down the hill. Also buying M&Ms and Popcorn!

We have a Wedding Anniversary scrapbook so each year we try to get a end of summer family photo. In this scrapbook, I write a little story of how we celebrated our wedding anniversary that year and then include a photo of us that year to see how we change over the years. A lot has changed in 10 years.

 I took a walk on the Mountain Bay Trail behind our house to enjoy the nice weather.

Our backyard apple tree with no apples this year. I am going to miss using our golf cart this winter. Seeing that I took this picture on September 27 triggers another story. Mike asked me to marry him on September 27, 2002. I came home from college at UW-Madison for the weekend and we went to Romy's for a fish dinner. Mike surprised me and asked me to marry him over a microphone. The whole restaurant clapped. Another great day! Where did 12 years go? 

 

Going to Shawano Lake means going in the water with jeans and shoes for Noah. He just loves it. This kid knows how to have fun!

 

Living it up in the water! Love this photo!

Noah found lots of snails in the lake.

 

Coloring fun when the weather gets cold outside. I loved Highlights magazine as a kid and now my kids love it too (High Five version for the little ones)!

 

 

I need to start focusing on holiday planning already. 78 days till Christmas!
