New Year's Eve

We actually did something this year for New Year's.  We had some friends and family come and play games, eat food, laugh and giggle.  We were so busy having fun we didn't take any pictures, but the kids playing downstairs took a  few.

Kaydence made it all the to 11:45 but just couldn't stay awake long enough to make the final countdown with us.  

but she was bright eyed and bushy tailed the next day and loved watching cartoons at my house.

Snow!

Finally we got enough of that white stuff we can call it snow.  Dustin made the kids a sledding hill in the backyard. And of course the inevitable snowball fight.. :) 

Christmas Day

 With Matching pjs. Oh so cute.

I love this: 

missing our England girls.. but all the other grandkids were there.

Christmas Eve

We decided that we needed a special visit from the Grinch today to make sure our kids would continue to be good for one more day. Ryker was TERRIFIED of our visitor but hasn't stopped talking about him all day (and brings him up occasionally over the next several months) 

Then it was off to the family Christmas Eve party and the exchange of sibling gifts.

We got my mom a new computer that hopefully makes things move a little faster for her...

 and of course a box of pjs for the kiddos.
