A Peek at Christmas

We had an interesting Christmas. Aaron got sick then Lauren. Ethan had enough of Aaron's cough to keep us on our toes. We stayed home and had Christmas all by ourselves this year for fear of giving our "junk" to anyone else. We were unable to do our traditional meals and things with extended family but we were very rested and the kids are getting better.






























The tree that we almost couldn't get into the house :-)








Fairy Costume-she was so happy!













Serious cookie decorating....











and a gingerbread house.














Brendan was the only one that was 100% well.










A Shiner for Christmas!

Busy Week!

Wow!! What a week this is turning out to be!! The kiddos are back in school and we are back in that school routine. We really enjoyed a low key week during the Thanksgiving holidays. We stayed at home alot, tagged our tree, hunted, put up lights, and just spent alot of time together. They especially enjoyed Aunt Jen spending the nite because they still ask if she is coming over today;)
This week Aaron has a fieldtrip, Ethan has a fieldtrip, two days at the mission,bridal shower on Saturday and the kids are out of school on Friday because of a teacher meeting....WHEW! It will be a fun week but a little too much for ONE week. Next week will be difficult because we WILL NOT have anything to do:) We are carefully planning to NOT plan too much this holiday season so we can enjoy each other without so much hustle and bustle(this week being the ONLY busy one)
I will try to post some pictures from all the week's activities.
