Winter Fun!

The other day it was bee-uht-i-ful out! So the kids and I and Rob headed outside to enjoy it!
The kids started out jumping over all the piles of snow in our yard and then of course that quickly gave them the idea to build a snowman!



The finished product!

Ms. Snowman!

 Malorie got a little snow in her boot! 

 Time for sledding!!!












I love seeing the joy on their faces!!!
Next, Rob came out and hooked their sleds up to the back of the 4wheeler and swung them around for awhile!






They look exhausted! I consider that a SUCCESS!!

Christmas


Wow! Amazing how time flies when you are having a good time! I still can't believe that Christmas has come and gone! I think at this point I am just glad we survived! We had a very fun filled two day of Christmas. Christmas Eve morning I spent helping my mom prepare for the next day's activities. After that, Rob and the kids picked me up and off we went to the in-laws for lunch. (i will briefly mention here that I had a stomach bug and couldn't eat anything the entire day). Of course as soon as we were done eating the presents HAD to get opened! :-)

 Mally got the Monster High Doll she wanted!




 What nice helpers!!
 Racyn LOVED his chainsaw from Thom and Melissa
  After we helped clean up the present destruction we headed off to Christmas Ever Church Service... Then it was off to mom and dad's for a very quick stop. It was time to give mom her "surprise" present. I couldn't wait for her to see them, alas, we only had time for the "swap" then it was off to Grandma and Grandpa Iverson's. First a quick glance at mom's reaction to her gift.

I took picture of all her grand kids, then replaced all of her OLD pictures of the kids! 
SUCCESS!!

Ok, so back to the Iverson's! Lots of fun and good food (so I heard-still wasn't eating)

Here's some action from that party!
 Kiyanna and her many bows.




Racyn and his buddy Charlie!

On the way home that night the kids spotted Rudolph's nose in the sky and were so excited to get home and get to sleep! As soon as we did get home Racyn went straight upstairs and went to bed! Now that doesn't happen everyday.

Now it is time for CHRISTMAS morning!
 Happy Birthday Jesus!


Looks like Santa made it to our house OK!
