Christmas morning

The kids decided amongst themselves that whoever was brave enough to wake us up would be the first to open their present. Lol. I guess they were scared but excited. Cam was the brave one so he opened his scooter. Unfortunately it has to charge for 18 hrs...Savannah got her bike. She was so funny opening her presents and wouldn't show any emotion until all the wrapping and tape was Totaly off. Cody got his shoes he wanted and Carter an MP3. It is freezing outside and they are using their new basketball and football.

Christmas Eve

Our family gift exchange

Every year we draw names among each other with a limit of 5$ and we exchange the day before Christmas Eve. Then everything else comes from Santa. It wouldn't be real if we didn't have some awful morning pics of Billy and I...

acrobat

Carter is obsessed with doing flips, handstands, and cartwheels. He now wants to be a stunt man when he grows up!

Bethleham

We took the kids out to a remake of Bethlehem where there were Roman soldiers, King Harod, real Camels and Mary and Joseph with baby Jesus. It was really cool. They also passed out free hot chocolate and apple cider. Before we went we ate at a tiny whole in the wall Mexican food restaurant where I had some authentic food. Yum! I tried the Papuses which were awesome! Not to mention it was soo cheap :)

ginger...what?

Our first attempt to make a Gingerbread house didn't go so well. We couldn't get the pieces to stay together and it kept falling apart...so we ate it...Oh well there is always next year!

Suprise Carolers

The Mutual kids stopped by our house Wednesday night to sing Silent Night. Cody is really enjoying all the activities even the singing...if there are girls around!

Cams Arrow of Light

Cameron has earned the highest rank of cubscouts. He worked 3 years for this and put in a lot of time and energy. Way to go Cam!

Mystery Dinner Party

Ok this was soo FUN! We did a mystery party Clue style. We had to find out who did it, what room and with what weapon. We were taken into different rooms to find clues and interviewed eachother. It was a blast. We were Dr and Mrs Rudolph. We had Mr and Mrs Christmas tree, Eddie and Catherine (christmas vacation) Professor Snow and his wife. Mr and Mrs Green, The Turtleneck twins and more. Combined with yummy food this was a Rocken Party!
