My mom made the boys jammies again this year. I appliqued the cute frogs on their shirts.
And the big news is that we bought my mom a kitty for Christmas. We gave it to her early because the animal shelter would be closed. Joren loves the kitty and wants to spend any waking (or sleeping) hour with her. Her name is Myah and she's about 3 months old.
I made him a fun golf cake... just in case you couldn't figure out what it was.
Logan and Sydney and my parents baby sat so we could go to dinner and a movie. It was fun to go on a real date with Ryan.
(sorry about the crazy pic... I had chosen poorly on my retro camera) The big boys had fun building a fort out of blankets with their girl cousins.
Terek loved playing the fighting game.
They are getting to be such great little builders.
The kids were very excited. Brenner said it was the best bedtime snack ever.
Joren made a penguin.
Terek made a snowman and Brenner made a polar bear.
The 16 year old life guard dressed as Santa was not quite my idea of Santa.
However, it's been awhile since the kids have been swimming so it was quite fun for them.
I can't believe our Christmas countdown is half way over... the time is flying!!!
It has always been a tradition that we eat our dinner on my mom's green plates. The kids got excited that we were using grandma's fancy dishes and having a fancy meal. Brenner made a menu for us. 
The kids helped me make name cards.
The food was delicious even though some people didn't like some of the things that were the letters in Christmas (mushrooms). 
Joren said, "Get me whatever you want."
Brenner had a huge list... He wants spy net stuff, light strike stuff, ear muffs, toe socks, sun glasses, etc.
Terek wants a batman bike and a mean looking hulk suit.
(Well at least 1/2 of them... we ran out of envelopes. Let me know if you don't get one... I always forget someone... usually the people closest to me.)
Dane and Sarah was suckered into being Joseph and Mary. Grandpa Tom was the narrator. Terek was the Angel. Grandma Rose, Ryan and Anisa got to be the wise people.
And Joren's doll, Brock, was the baby Jesus.
Brenner loves penguins...
Joren loves the grinch... he decided to let the hermit crabs use it as their stocking... what does Santa bring to hermit crabs?
Terek picked a whole pack of super hero ornaments.
The kids had fun playing...
and I had fun chatting...
We wish we could have stayed longer... and we wish we could have seen more friends.
On Thanksgiving we got together at a church for dinner with the Scholes family. The kids must have been starving because they couldn't wait for the food:)
Lucas and Shellie came down from Wyoming, so on Friday we headed back home to spend the rest of the weekend with them.
Logan took us shooting...
Okay, West is just CUTE!!!
Shellie and I were in the craft room and looked out the window to find this.... It just made me laugh. I guess we should have gotten rid of our Halloween pumpkins sooner.
Good weekend with good friends and family:)
