December 2013

We started out the Christmas season by making Gingerbread Nativity sets with Grandma Judy and Grandpa Mike, which was sooooooo much fun. 

Jackie did not want hers to break.

What a yummy and fun craft!

We had so much fun making graham cracker mangers.
 This is going to be a tradition.

Jackie was very creative and made her own angel of marshmallows.

This is fuzzy, but I had to include Chloe's Cheesy smile.

The kids had a lot of fun seeing where the elf hid and what trouble he got into.  Christopher Poppinkins was fun.

We got our first "real" tree, and it was delivered, which was exciting.

It took several tries to get everyone looking, but we love Christmastime

Jackie's second grade English teacher Mrs. Cooney.  We love her!

Jackie was in the Click Clack Moo play.

She was awesome as the "Farmer."  Her teacher complimented her on how good she did.  I wondered how it would go, but it was great.

Just Relaxing.....

Willard State park adventure.  It was sooooo cold.

We escaped from the cold to see Santa.

Jackie had fun sitting with Santa.

Wes liked him too.

Tommy was happy to visit him.

Chloe acted excited and waved from a  distance, but got scared when we were up close.

Jackie loved being Mary at the Richards Christmas party

Parker and the twins joined the Christmas nativity re-enactment, which was funny and sweet.

Christmas morning!!!!

We went sledding over the holidays with the new sled.

Holly's best friend's brother Steve is a famous cellist.  He is part of the Piano Guys.  He and his wife performed at the wedding dinner.  This was a surprise to most of us and was so cool.

Her friend also played the piano, and it was great.

Meg flew in for the day.

All of the Murray kids together was my favorite part.
