What A Merry Christmas!

We had a great Christmas this year. We were able to spend it with family and friends.

Our reindeer!


With Daddy working at No Worries and at our friend's tree lot on the weekends for the whole month of December we stayed busy making Christmas treats to give to our friends. We tried to encourage our kids to give not just recieve- hopefully they understood that a little.


Makenna had a Christmas program at school. It was so cute. She had a speaking part and she did a great job. She loves attention so it was perfect for her!

Christmas outfits. We spent Christmas Eve at my parents house and came home that night so Santa could find us. We had Christmas dinner with Cory's family and opened presents and played with our cousins. Then we got an extra special treat because Cory didn't have to work that weekend. It was so nice to spend time with him- he's has been gone a lot the past couple months, but when you have the work you gotta take it. We had so much to be thankful for this year and hope it can continue into the next. Happy New Year!

6 Months!

I can't believe how time flies. Baby Gage is already 6 months. It seems like just yesterday it was June. I took him to the doctor yesterday and he is tall and skinny and the smallest of all our kids. He was 2'4" and 16 lbs. He is so happy all the time! He loves rolling over (until he gets stuck), playing in his activity station, and laughing at his brother and sister. We are so lucky to have him!

Gotta love the things kids come up with

Tonight Makenna didn't want to eat her dinner ( she has some problem with just about everything right now) and she was mad that we were not going to let her help put up Christmas lights. She finally ate some and was able to help. As we were cleaning the table Cory said to her "If you do this again you will lose, no Christmas!" She just looked back at him and said, "Fine, I'll just celebrate Hanukah!". I guess she showed him. It was so funny it was hard to be angry at her after that.
