A little bit of snow!





Well, as many of you know it started snowing Christmas morning... and did not quit... for a long time. The morning after Christmas we were heading up to the cabin. This is what we had to dig out of before we could even leave the driveway! Wow! More than 11 inches in 24 hours. Brent and Tanner had done the drive way Mid day on Christmas day...that took them about an hour, and it took them 2 1/2 hours to get this done less than 24 hours later.

Christmas Day






This year all three of the kids got a Nintendo DS. They were all very excited. I was a little concerned that Meg would not be so impressed. But as you can see... she thought it was pretty exciting. That may have to do with her getting hers after the boys had gotten theirs. If they were so excited I should be too... right?? Well, We had a wonderful Christmas. Brent and I were slight on the present side this year. We decided to invest our money into another toy or two and they did not fit under the tree. We have gotten two snowmobiles. I don't have a picture because..... technically I don't have mine yet. But you can see a picture of Brent sporting his on Rae's blog... We have bought me a sled but it is having some work done and of course that always takes longer than you plan for. We are hoping to have for new years day. I'm sure I will post some fun pictures of us playing with them.

Christmas Eve



This year we decided to get the kids some new PJ's and give them to them on Christmas Eve. I don't know if it will become a annual tradition, but it was fun this year. Tanner was hyped up all day. We almost had to send him away. All the kids were very excited for Christmas to finally come. We got Pizza, and baked cookies for Santa. The kids ate what they could of them, and set some out for the big man before heading off to bed.

An Early Christmas






We had our Christmas party with Peggy, Kristen, Steph and Joel, and the boys early this year. We really had a had time finding a time that we could all get together. The kids got completely spoiled of course. Tanner got an Ipod docking station, Landon a rip stick and Meg... well, anything you can think of princess. I decided that we did not need Santa to come to our house after all of that!

We had a great time with the family, and were very glad that we could all see each other and spend some time together. We love you!!!

Funny things.....

The other day Brent, Meg and I were driving into town. It was dark and the Stars and Moon were out. She was so cute... She says "I love those pretty things" They are stars Meg. "I love starts and I love that tiny sun!"

Landon said to Tanner last night, "Look what I can do" and tried to jump from the couch over the rebound net in our basement. Well, His feet were not on the same page as his brain. They caught on the bar and his face met a box on the ground. After blood and tears... He had a big fat lip.

Poor Landon!

Tis the Season






We decided last week to gather our Christmas decorations. When we moved into our new house we bought a new tree. I spent a mint on tree decorations that I love. Well, when we got them out this year I was surprised to find that Brent and the kids really did not like my old Tree. Brent decided that we should redecorate. The kids wanted to put their Sponge Bob, Scooby, Disney ornaments on my tree. They really did not work with the look I was going for. We spent the day and went to Sams. We bought some new decorations that would work. We put up the tree and all their decorations. The boys told me that their tree was soo much better than my tree. I like it but I don't know. Maybe we will have to trade off every other year.
