Crazy Kids

Christmas!!!

Christmas was a wonderful day!! Of course Christmas Eve night we read the Christmas story and the kids got to open their new PJ's!!  Grandma Leetham read us a cute story about a reindeer and wishes and started a new tradition of what we wish for every year!

This year we had a family Elf that we named Kindle.  The kids loved him! He went to the North Pole to tell Santa how the kids were that day then he came home and hid in a new spot and the kids had to find him every morning!!

On Christmas morning the kids got up at 530 waking everyone up in the house!! We came and opened presents where we were spoiled again!! Jake got a new smoker and a jerky maker where he had to restrain himself the rest of the morning from just going out and using them both.  I got a new camera and some cute boots and a makeup case that i wanted!!  The kids got guitars and clothes and barbies and monster trucks and blankets and magic eight balls (remember those!!) and movies!! They were definitely spoiled.

Then we went to church and had a wonderful meeting!! Christmas night we had the Merritts over for dinner.  It was Delicious as always.  Then the Berrys came over for dessert and Games!!  Abram is the master at the games!! It was a great day spent with family and friends and a great way to end the 2011 year!!

Christmas Tree cutting

We decided to cut our own Christmas tree this year!!!  We did last year and loved it so we went again.  We all bundled up and set out on our hunt!!  Jake took us to a beautiful spot that had lots of trees.  We ended up being really close to a heard of deer which was really cool.  We hiked and hiked and hiked to find our perfect tree!!  The kids were such troopers.  We were hiking through thigh high snow (thigh high on me) and the kids did not complain once!!  Kate was a dog most of the time and believe it or not she had the easiest time in the snow!! Brystol just loved being outside!!!

 Jake was so good to drag the tree all the way back to the car!! He is amazing!!

Here are 4 things we love about Tagg:

1. He is very playful

2. He Loves anything his dad does

3. He is very helpful around the house

Halloween

Halloween is such a fun Holiday for the kids!! This year the kids went downtown and went trick or treating!!  They loved it and had so much fun.  Kate was a cat, Tagg was a bat, Brystol was a lady bug, Kash was superman, Kali was bat woman, and Kori was a bunny!!!  After downtown we went to the Merritts and had soup and bean dip and waited for the 5 trick or treaters that came to get candy!!
