Adventures of Christmas

We have truly had so many Christmas Adventures!! We have had lots of snow, so the snowmobiles had to come out. Halie, KaeLee, Dan, Abbie, Delanie & even Brook got involved in that. I stayed inside where it was warm. We had Christmas Eve at Ray & Juanita's, it is always fun and the kids and us really look forward to it. The family had shrunk in size for a while but it is growing again, the more the merrier. Christmas morning game early and loudly. At 3:30 KaeLee bright and cheery was in our room. She had not gone to bed at all. I can never remember a time we have slept past 4, it is a payback for all the times I did that to my parents. The kids all had a ball, we were back in bed by 5. Kyah got home at 2 and loved all of her toys too. We had a wonderful Christmas with all of our families, the new and old. It is fun to start new traditions and keep the old ones continuing in a new generation.

My Devils!

I got each of the girls new sweat outfits for basketball and they were so excited. I meant to save it for Christmas but I am not very good at that!! Also I thought these pictures of Kyah playing in the lockers at school were too cute not to share!

December news

The last few weeks have been crazy. We had a holiday tournament at Murtaugh and the boys basketball team did an awesome job and they were fun to watch. They also had games in Bliss and Camas County and we had so much fun watching them play. The boys are all having fun playing and they impess me so much because they show such good sportsmanship.
There has also been breakfast with Santa and the elementary Christmas Program. Hopefully Christine or someone will post some pictures on that.
I would just like to wish eveyone a very safe and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Happy Birthday Grandma Nonie

My mom turned 60 on the 20th so we gathered at La Fiesta for dinner. Frank and Shana weren't able to make it because he had hurt his back really bad, and of course we missed Nathan(he was working) and Candace who will be here for Christmas but hadn't made it yet. Outside of our family, which has grown by 3 (Joey, Chelsea's boyfriend, Izaak, and Halie) Uncle Leon, Grandma, Jerry, & Wendy came also. We had a blast and the food was really good. My mom does not like to be put in the spotlight but as you can see by the sombrero she did get sang too! It was a great night! Happy Birthday Mom!

Breakfast with Santa

Murtaugh Middle School hosts a breakfast with Santa every year. We had a great time, as you can see by the picture Kyah didn't think she had time to get a picture taken. I get sad looking at the one of the girls, they grow so fast!!
