Christmas Break

 Every year we hide the pickle.  Ashleigh was so kind to help Andrew find it since she always finds it.

 We hid two pickles this year so that the other kids had a chance to find it.  Brynn found the second one.  She was so happy.

 These two boys are loving what they got from Santa.  Connor loves his new trains.

 Kevin made us some yummy breakfast.  Eggs, sausage, and juice.  We used to make monkey bread every year and they never ate it because they were all sweetened out.  We decided we will make it for New Years.  One of our friends made us yummy blueberry muffins.

 

I finally did it.  I printed all of my blog.  There were four books printed.  One for each year.  The kids are having so much fun looking through them.

 Ashleigh is posing with her new nightgown, new scarf, new socks, and new vest.  She loves new clothes!

 The girls made some sugar cookies on Christmas Eve and then finished them on Christmas day.

 We always have seven layer bean dip on Christmas day.  Yummy!

 Brynn is loving her new disco ball.  We've enjoyed lots of dances in the basement.

 We had fun at Bounceland after Christmas.  They needed to get their energy out.

 The boys all had fun playing tag and climbing the air structures.

 Ashleigh and Andrew gave us some sweet crafts for Christmas.  They are so good art.

For Christmas I got new carpets.  Yippee.

 
 Andrew really wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese and play on the rides for Christmas break.

 Ashleigh made this cute snowman with the snowman kit that our cousins made for us.

 I thought it would be fun to take the kids out to lunch with one of our gift cards.  They loved the treat.

 Our favorite part of Christmas is to hear from all of our friends and family.  We love pictures and cards!

 Here are the new carpets.  It's hard to tell from the pictures.  It's a beige frieze with a chocolate and caramel twist of fabric in it.  It's fun to have a shag carpet.

 Ashleigh is so sweet to take Connor for a ride on a little hill.

 I wanted to go ice skating so we did.  I loved it.

 Kamren loves to try new stunts and isn't afraid to fall.

On your mark, get set, go! The kids had so much fun racing each other across the arena.

 I've had these jars for 10 years now but my friend made some vinyl letters for me to label the jars.  It's fun to have a change

 Andrew just graduated from nursery and he's receiving a certificate from his daddy (Bishop).

 We had a fun time hopping on the trolly downtown.

We loved the Christmas music and decorations in the trolley.  It was so much fun to have a free ride!
