Christmas!

We had a fun Christmas this year. I had most of my shopping done in November and then 2 weeks before Christmas I had every little thing done. I was paranoid that I wouldn't have time to do everything, especially with the babies, so I got it done early and really enjoyed Christmas. This is the twins in their Christmas pajamas watching us eat breakfast. I made cinnamon rolls, little smokies and mini quiche - it was YUMMY!

We got up at 6:00 this year and the twins woke up about 1 1/2 hours later. This is Hadley bright eyed and ready to go.

We started a 1000 peice puzzle at Thanksgiving and it took forever to finish - what was I thinking??? I was so tired of having it on the table, I will NEVER do a puzzle that big again.

This is a picure of the snow we got 3 days before Christmas. On Christmas it snowed another 6-8 inches it was crazy! We have a pretty big slope in our backyard and the kids spend days sledding down the hill. Phil always scoops the snow from our driveway with the tractor and makes a huge sledding ramp for the kids to get a big start going down the hill.

Gingerbread houses for family night!

On Christmas day my sister Sunny and her husband Josh came over and we went sledding at our house. Phil always knows how to make things more exciting! Josh got on his snow board and Phil would pull him down the driveway with the Rhino (4-wheeler) towards that hill he makes with the tractor and then Josh would let go of the rope and fly up the hill and do tricks - I was pretty impressed!

New additions!

Sunny and Josh had their first baby on Dec. 27th. They named her Hailey and she is so darn cute. She weighed 8pounds 10 oz (poor Sunny)!

Two days later my sister Cherish had her fourth baby. His name is Rylan and he weighed 8 pds 3 oz.

Thanksgiving party at our house!

For Thanksgiving we had Phil's side of the family come to our house. Phil had the great idea to have the boys take care of Thanksgiving Dinner this year and of coarse the women were loving that idea. Phil and the boys went and played paint ball in the morning and then came back and cooked most of Thanksgiving dinner in dutch ovens. We rented a couple blow up toys for the kids to play on and they all had a blast.

The kids were getting frustrated because the adults were having as much fun as the kids. One of the kids blocked the door and told us no adults were allowed.

This is the other toy we put in the garage in case in rained. This is Kelsi jumping down the slide.

Presley and Hadley are so much fun. They both are so sweet and love to laugh!
