December Flew By...

As always, December goes by way too fast.  Here's a few of the things that happened in our family....

All five ready for church.  Alyssa has started making weird faces

Andrew turns 11

Getting some new camping gear for scouts.

Andrew is my science fan.  He's excavating a mummy.

Annual Gingerbread houses-Chris and the three littles.

Team two-the two big boys and me 

Andrew had a pian recital at Kori's house.  He memorized his two songs and is really enjoying piano.

We had our annual Christmas Eve celebration and Alyssa was the angel (with ladybug wings).   We work with what we have.

The "Three Wise Guys" as Chris' family refers to them.  

I LOVE this picture because of Hailey's expression.  Kind of like, "Not sure you're up for the job."  Hailey as Mary and Zach as Joseph.

Making reindeer food before bed on Christmas Eve.

New pajamas for everyone.

Christmas morning-Santa brought her the suitcase that she wanted.

The 3DS was a big hit

Her next American Girl

An IPOD touch.

Another IPOD touch.  I miss the days when he asked for a frisbee!

Playing his new toy with his backpack and robe on.  He was too funny walking around like this.

My eye was twitching, but these 3 boys were in this position most of Christmas Day.

Playing a game together

For more fun, my sister and her family flew out to our house on Christmas night to stay for 10 days.  We loved having them and the cousins were in heaven.  Paul showing Hailey a game that he can play on the IPAD.

Sweet Lily

This old teeter totter was a big hit over the break.  It provided hours of entertainment and the kids would flip each other over.

The girls watching something as their legs are all tangled up together.
