Happy Easter

This year we spent Easter in Tennessee. The Easter Bunny made an early stop as we got up for church. After Easter service we went out for lunch, and then we invited some family over for an egg hunt.

Happy Birthday Will

Happy 13th Birthday to William!! We officially now have a teenager in the house (Pray for us - and for him)!!

Disco Fever

Kendall and Daddy attended a 70s-themed dance with her Girl Scout troop. (Afros and bell-bottoms galore!)

Christian couldn't be left out of the afro action!

Finally a Warm Day!

There has finally been a break in the weather and the kids have gotten to enjoy the backyard again. And - no - I'm not sure Christian decided to wear his helmet.

Christian and Evan ventured out to play and then they were off to a picnic lunch in the park.

Congratulations Will

After placing 1st in our local Jack and Jill chapter oratorical contest, Will placed 2nd in the state competition.

Will meets Oprah

We all knew Will would be rubbing elbows with some great people!!!

Kendall's Cheer Camp

Kendall attended a Cheerleading camp at MTSU. So now, of course, she wants to add cheerleading to her schedule (along with dance, soccer, basketball, girl scouts...)

Ski adventure 2009

Well - we had to top 2008's camping adventure so for 2009 the Mitchell's head out on a skiing adventure.


Before shots:











After shots (notice who is still standing)









And we made it back with no (major) injuries.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Mitchell Holiday Traditions

Christmas Eve is one day the family indulges Mom and agrees to an evening of activities that we do each year.



We all get dressed in our Christmas PJ's and read a Christmas story...

We bake cookies (we did gingerbread people this year) ...



Then we all pile in the van with blankets, pillows, and hot chocolate to go look at Christmas lights.


And of course we can't forget Santa's cookie and the reindeer food.
