Christmas

Every Christmas we have a special little elf visit us. His name is Sassafras and sometimes he gets bored when we fall asleep. On Christmas Eve morning we woke up to this in our kitchen!

THEN

On the night of Christmas Eve the kids each got to open one present. This year they each got COZY robes! They put their robes on and we drove around to look at Christmas lights. When we got home, they got to drink some special snow man soup! They brushed their teeth and all fell asleep in Mom and Dad's room. Its our tradition for them to sleep on a mattress in our room, so they don't sneak a peek at Santa.

THEN

On Christmas Morning we all woke up early (thanks to Mom) and checked to see what Santa brought the kids. C got a BB/Pellet gun. M got a huge art set and L got a Power Ranger's sword and hydro bow.

THEN

We jumped in the car and headed into town.

At

N and B's we at DELICIOUS food opened presents and talked to L and B on the phone. The kids enjoyed playing with all FOUR doggies. Finally enough doggies to share the love!

THEN

At Mema and Papa's we opened more gifts. I'll post a picture of what J&K gave us when I have it up. We ate more good food and played a HILARIOUSNESS game called Curses inside while the kids played outback with all their cousins.

OCTOBER

October in a nut shell.....

Nikki got to hang with the kiddo's all day. They had a BLAST with her. They did crafts, colored, played games, painted toe nails.... Thanks Nikki for watching them for us!

Lando turned 5 this year. He had to wait all year for his birthday. Which is hard for a 4yr old to do. He had his buddies come over for a camping party. Complete with a campfire and a smores cake!

Dust and I got to fly to Dallas and surprise Brit. We had so much fun hanging out with them. Maybe we'll get to do it again eh?

We mighta had a little too much fun eh?

Lando's first field trip was to Schnepf Farm. Lots of fun for about an hour. Then it got hot.

HALLOWEEN - I wasn't a very good mom this year and didn't get pictures of my kids in their costumes. But, considering they only wore them for less then an hour, I'm not too worried. We didn't go trick or treating this year. Instead we went to the YMCA's block party (which was not attended well, so we pretty much got the run of the place) CJ spent about 20-30 mins on the rock wall. He finally made it to the top. (that reminds me, I owe him some monies)

What do YOU do on Sundays?

What does your family do on Sunday afternoons? Bake cookies? Visit the sick? Go to grandma's house? We have a suggestion for you... Do some sweet moves and take pictures of your awesomeness! This is not for everyone. You have to have super talented and good looking kids to pull this off.
