Lots o' stuff!

It's a dart war! The boys pulled out a whole bunch of dart guns and had at it! Jon and the boys had a ball! They were chasin' each other all over! I was the innocent bystander coming through once in a while. Somehow I managed to not get hit!


Dad bein' sneeky!!


"Ow! Ya got me!"
This picture of Andrew and his preschool teacher was just too cute to pass up!
This was from the first round of snow we got before Christmas...it seemed like alot at the time, but we have lots more now!
The snow was actually good for my deer to help them stay up on windy days!

A Very Early Christmas Morning!

Well the boys were sure excited about Christmas this year...I had one little visitor (Caleb) at 5am! Sent him back to bed and then had 3 little visitors (I'm sure you know who!) at 6am. Sent them off again and told them we would get up at 6:30. They still came back again at 6:15! Andrew was so cute when he discovered his "fast car" at 6, he kept singing "Thank you Santa! Thank you Santa!" And of course that was his seat to open his other gifts.
Joshua was so cute with every gift he opened. So much enthusiasm! He either sang a song or did a dance or something. I will try to post some video soon.

And of course Caleb with his unique expressions!
Jon's chair at his office has been "dead" for quite some time now so here is a new one for him! He was so funny when he first sat in it, he said his back was thanking him already!
We had a great Christmas! It's been fun to have family visiting too! (Christmas time really is worth all the craziness that comes with it when you see all those smiling faces!!)

Christmas fun!

With all the crazyness going on we somehow managed to make some cards and gingerbread houses. I'm so glad we did, we had a bunch of fun! The boys gave the cards they made to their school teachers and primary teachers. And for the houses we actually were invited to a neigbor's for a gingerbread house party. There were a few families there and lots of candy! And I loved how we used graham crackers...it made it really easy to put together!



The Hair!

Every once in a while the boys refind where we store all of our costumes. Remember Jon's 60s costume, well Andrew found the hair...yikes! The hair is as big as he is!! Hahaha!

Thanksgiving turkey (not to eat)

So this year for Thanksgiving we used "turkey feathers" to write down what we are grateful for. I should have had a before and after picture because the "featherless" turkey looked pretty funny!
