Christmas 2008

Well the last 2 weeks have been an adventure to say the least. With all of the snow that fell and our 1st white Christmas since I can remember, we have been having a blast. Dad was home a lot during this time due to the holidays and snow and we were very spoiled. We spent Christmas Eve with the Earle family and had such a good time. The kids could hardly contain their excitement to open presents and play with their cousins.

Christmas morning we opened our gifts from each other and Santa and then headed over to my side of the family where we opened MORE gifts and had a very yummy dinner. The kids were in heaven and have been busy ever since playing with their new gifts.

We are so thankful for all of our family and friends and hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Next...Birthdays!

Snow Fun Day #3

We love the snow! I know that in a couple days we will wish the snow away, but right now we just can't get enough. The kids have been having a blast sledding and playing with friends.

Snow Fun Day #2

We were out early to enjoy the snow some more today. The kids love this stuff. I'm sure we'll be out for most of the day today. The twins can't get enough and Bry and Bug are getting more and more bold on Grandpa's old sled. Bry was snowboarding at a friends house yesterday and loved it. Dad said that he was really good doing jumps and turns. I'm sure we'll be heading up to the mountains before long to get snowboarding lessons.

Snow Fun!

We waited...and waited...and waited for the big freeze to hit us and finally got a little snow last night. The kids had a snow day yesterday with no snow. That wasn't fun! We woke up this morning and had about an inch of snow for the kids to play in. They were so excited. All of them loved it, now all we can do is keep hoping for MORE SNOW!

We are Best Friends!

Gingerbread House

With the cold weather in town we decided to do some indoor activities. The boys painted decorations to put on the tree and we made a gingerbread house. The had so much fun creating and eating. The last photo is the tiny amount of snow that started to fall last night around 9. There probably isn't an inch on the ground but the boys are out playing in it right now.

Merry Christmas

Santa, I would like a Robot!

We had our yearly visit with Santa tonight and as always it was very entertaining. The boys were very excited to tell Santa what was on their Christmas list. For Bry he wants Bakugans and for Bug he wants a remote controlled robot. Miss was most excited to get off of Santa's lap with her life and O was excited to see the candy cane and football from Santa but didn't care about much else.

Bug's Field Trip

Bug had his 3rd field trip today to the bowling alley. All the kids had so much fun. On his first try he knocked down 8 pins. Way to go Bug!
Nice roll Bug!
I can't look!
Yeah!

Tis the Season

The kids couldn't keep their excitement in when it came time to decorate for the Holidays. They were all such big helpers, including the twins. They seem to be more fond of undecorating these days but we are working on that.

December Fun

After being stuck in the house for 2 weeks with sick kids we decided it was time to venture out of the house this week. We made it to Spanaway lights again, a tradition we have done for the last couple of years and the kids love it. They cheered and clapped for all the lights and didn't want to go home afterwards.

Last night we went downtown Puyallup for their annual Santa Parade and the kids enjoyed that as well. Next, zoo lights if the weather permits and a visit to Santa.
