Thanks Aunt Mel and Uncle Ryan!

For Christmas Aunt Melody and Uncle Ryan sent the kids a plant kit with three different kinds of plants. It was a really neat gift and they begged and begged to plant them. Each of them had their own to plant and they have already started to sprout. The kids loved it! Here are some pictures of each of them going through the process.

Alma Preparing the dirt

At first she didn't know if she wanted to touch the dirt, but after she got into it she had a good time.

Adding the seeds

The finished project

Saralyn

She jumped right in as soon as she could and wasn't worried one bit about getting dirty :)

Planting the seeds

Finished!

Easton
Well, obviously, I helped him a little. He liked to feel the dirt, and strangely seemed to enjoy how it tasted :) He always has to taste everything anyway, but after he tasted the dirt, he seemed to want more, it was pretty funny.

Tasting the dirt

Tasting the dirt some more...I really didn't just let him sit there and eat it, but he's a fast little bugger! It was hard keeping his hands out! A little dirt won't kill him, right :)


Thanks again guys! And thanks to everyone else who sent such thoughtful gifts. The kids really had a fun Christmas :) We love you all!
