Christmas!

 Cory and Cj took the boys sledding and they had a blast.

  Time to wash off the car.

We had Connie over for Christmas eve to dinner and to our story night. We had the kids open their eve jammies and then they got to open the gifts they got for each other.

 We did our Christmas Eve story that talks about the symbols of Christmas but how they relate to Jesus.

 The kids sprinkled out the reindeer food for Santas arrival.

 They set out their milk and cookies for Santa and Carrots for the reindeer.

 We are so ready for Christmas Morning!!

 The kids woke up bright and early on Christmas morning.

 Coopers Christmas!!

 Caymans Christmas!!

 It was alot of fun opening gifts and seeing the kids faces light up.

 

 

 We played a game of mustache smash with everyone and it was fun.

 The Christmas aftermath is just a big mess!! 

 The kids love big hershey kisses. Here they are trying to eat it.

 Cooper got a fun race track.

 We had a great morning and it was a very fun day.

Christmas Week

 We started out Christmas week at This is the place park to do the Candlelight Christmas. It had been snowing for a few days and it was pretty cold but it was a nice night to walk around.

 The kids signed their names on the Nice or Naughty list and Cooper signed on the Naughty side. He got a lump of coal which was really chocolate. Cayman signed on the nice side and got candy.

 We heard the carolers outside and it was just so magical. They are dressed as in pioneer times. It was great.

 Warming up by the fire.

 Saw the live Nativity. It was so peaceful and the baby was so little.

 We did a little dancing in the dance hall.

 We went to Kurt Bestors Christmas concert and took Cayman with us. We like to go to this and listen to the music. Its always a great performance.

 We had Christmas at Connies on the 23rd and ate dinner and opened gifts. It was a fun night.

 We missed Cory's grandpa. He is always thought of and we miss him dearly.

 The kids were able to do a few crafts.

 We sang happy birthday to Jesus.

 We also read the Nativity story.

It was a nice night and we are always happy to spend time with family. Some very big news...My sister had a baby on this day the 23rd of December and I couldn't be more happy. She is darling and weighed in around 4lbs 6 oz. She was so teeny. They named her Juniper.
