Photoshoot!

February 27, 2011 by Aliesha

I got to help out with a photoshoot yesterday that Andrea did with three of our girls in our youth group!  I helped with hair and makeup and carrying props around.  The pictures turned out wonderfully!  These girls are beautiful on the inside and out!

 
 For the pictures, visit Andrea’s blog here.

Game Night

February 25, 2011 by Aliesha

We had a fun time at Travis and Andrea‘s last night!  We taught them how to play Fast Scrabble and enjoyed eating Andrea’s amazing homemade chocolate chip cookies.

Vera had a blast too!

Pictures are, of course, by Andrea!

How to Play Fast Scrabble

Place all tiles face down on the table (or floor).  Everyone draws seven tiles and turns them over when the game begins.  Each person forms their own crossword puzzle using only their tiles.  The first person to finish their crossword calls out “draw two!”  Everyone draws two more tiles.  This continues until all of the tiles have been drawn.  The first person to finish their crossword puzzle at this point is the winner!  As in traditional Scrabble, no foreign words, contractions, proper nouns, or slang words are allowed.  It’s lots of fun!

**edit (2):
Apparently I already blogged about how to play Fast Scrabble here.

Special Outfit

February 3, 2011 by Aliesha

Vera wore a special outfit to church on Sunday. 

When Andrea was pregnant with Taite, she was convinced that he was a girl!  She even bought this sweet little dress for him.  Since she has yet to have a girl, Andrea was kind enough to loan me this adorable outfit so Vera could enjoy it.  (The big hair bow is from my mom.)
