Christmas Hangover


Merry Christmas Everyone!!
Christmas has come and gone at our house.. yes, Andrew went to work this morning with an amazing tree and decorations, and came home to a clean home! Yep... it is all packed away. The next time I decorate a tree we will be in Colorado!  YAHOOO
We had a wonderful Christmas Eve with the boys, reading the Christmas story, playing bingo, opening that one present that they get every Christmas eve (PJs).
Thank you to all that sent Christmas Cards, I secretly wish there was some sort of competition on our street for who got the most Christmas Cards.. I am sure we would have won!!
Have a happy week..

Winter has arrived in Pocatello

Well we finally had a bit of a snowstorm in Pocatello so Camden and Britton decided they needed to go sledding.  We went out on the little hill behind our house and they had a good ol time.  It looks like we are going to have a white Christmas after all.

Camden and Britton enjoying the new snow.


More sledding


Michelle, Braden and Peyton enjoying the sledding from the warmth of the house.

Christmas 1977 and Hail to the Victors!!!


Here is a pic of Michelle, we are guessing it is 1977 when she was 2.5.  Do you think the twins look like her?


A pic for comparison.


And another one cause they are so damn cute!


Michelle made one of these blankets for each of the boys for Christmas.  Isn't she amazing!!!



I need to give a shout out to all the Michigan fans.  We got our coach and I think that he is going to be a great one.  He may have been the third choice, but I think he is the best of the bunch.  GO BLUE!!!

11 Days Till Christmas

I love Christmas.. but I can't wait till it is over!  Picture Britton on the filthy floor of Fred Meyer crying because I didn't give in to his latest whim. (before we went into the store we totally had that 'talk' that you can show me what you would like for Christmas, just don't ask for it) And for all of you that know Britton, he is not quiet!  I just kept on walking, looking back once in a while to make sure that he was still there (not really, I can hear that he is still there and I was just looking back so that I looked like a loving parent).  Finally he comes our way... at what point do I get a Psychologist?  I am not kidding!  This kids works it.. maybe I am the one in need of a Psychologist.  And a little disclamer on his loudness, I have finally blamed God for why he is so loud.. he can't help it, that is the voice he was given at birth!  So from now on the kids stay home with Dad when I go out shopping.. I am done!!
On to Christmas Cards.. I am such a fan of snail mail for Christmas.. Thanks to all who have sent out the cards!! I think the Cards from Friends and Family are the best gifts ever!!
I took the Twins to Camden's School for there Christmas Presentation.  Camden did a wonderful job singing his songs. Not to sure why they teach those kids songs they have never heard, or will ever sing again.. but what ever.. it was fun.  Then music teacher totally gives the shpeal that you should stay for the whole presentation of all the grades and 'support the school' by not leaving after your kids of done.  I am going to arrive 1 hour early next time so I can get a front row seat so I can leave.. I am not kidding.
Happy Counting down to Christmas. We made a chain for the kids to count down till Christmas Eve.. I not sure if it was more for me!
