Playing in the snow

So I am a little behind here... these are from the last snowstorm we had. We didn't stay out too long, by the time Daddy came home and we got everyone bundled up it was getting dark. It worked out ok though, Brody couldn't move and wasn't thrilled about it at all! The background in the pictures is so dark, it looks like it's midnight! I don't really have any great pictures for you guys because it was so dark the camera was having a hard time finding the kids in the dark! It all ended well though, Hot Cocoa and marshmallows!! Yumm-o!

Sitting in a pile of snow...

...but only for a second before he fell backwards! (I told you he couldn't move!)

Trying some snow

Not too sure what he thinks about it

Reygann sitting in the snow eating it, poor girl I couldn't see her well enough to see that her hat was pulled halfway over her face!

Kylie making a snow angel

Good job Kylie

Look at her tipping her head up so she can see, sorry honey!

You know it is cold in your house when...

You catch the cat napping on your computer to stay warm!! (Stupid Cat!)

Good Job Kylie

Brody is such a stinker always pulling all the shoes off the shoe shelve. Kylie is always picking them back up for me. This time she did a great job organizing them, all the Church shoes together, all the crocks together, ect. She was so proud of her great job!

Brody likes to color

Playing with the Door

Brody has been having fun playing with the door in and out, in and out... I am a litte worried about his fingers getting hurt but so far so good!

Saint Nicholas Day

Last week we all went over to Mom and Dad's house to celebrate St Nicholas Day. As usual the kids had a great time getting together and it was fun to watch them interact.


Brody kept walking to the camera so all the pictures I have of him have arms in it to try to keep him back!

What a sweet girl, she posed herself here

Silly little Reygann posing for her mug shot!

Once again Joan read the story of St Nicholas for us. When the story was over the kids piled up on her holding the pictures they colored.

Looking for their wooden shoes to put under the tree

All lined up and ready to be filled

We usually celebrate Harrison's birthday since it is right around the same time. Since everyone was busy with dessert we used this time to fill up the wooden shoes.

It is hard to see what he is doing here, but he is picking up all the cupcake crumbs Reygann spilled and was eating them. There were a lot of crumbs and he thoroughly enjoyed them!

Finding their shoes!

Trying to eat the chocolate coins

Putting on her new lipstick

Joan and I use this holiday to give the kiddos their Christmas pjs that way they can wear them longer (we used to do it on Christmas eve)

Doesn't he look handsome! Silly boy kept walking towards me still so another goofy picture. He looks like he likes them though...

...unlike Reygann who is just standing there! That girl! She is either stone faced or cheesing really big!

Haven and Harrison got the same pjs as my kids so we tried taking a picture of them all.

I wanted to get my kids the little people nativity set, but I wanted to give it to them early so they could play with it longer so I gave it to them today too.

We surprised them with it

Can you see Reyganns mouth hanging open?

Even Brody got in on the action

Don't they look cute playing together in their matching pjs

I caught Brody eating a cookie he found and looking through the garbage looking for more goodies (no, the cookie was not from the garbage!)

Dancing with the stars

The girls are so sad that Dancing With The Stars is over, they love sitting on the couch and watching it with daddy. Most of the time they would jump up and dance, it was so cute. Kylie would actually watch what they were doing and try to copy it. She did a job copying them but Reygann was sacrificed a few times with the tricks she was attempting!
