Christmas is my favorite time of the year. Not because of the presents I normally dont get very many but I love to shop for people and find the perfect gifts. I love giving them to people and watching their faces light up with excitement. This year sadly I did not take any pictures of Christmas day because we got the whole thing on video. I did take pictures of the kids decorating. Aurora was so excited because this year she was able to go on the roof with daddy to put up the Christmas lights.


So here is a picture of my unafriad 5 year old on the roof!


Baby Leif loved the Garland and trying to get him to keep it on the tree was a task! He kept wanting to decorate himself instead.


Here is a picture of me trying to decorate the tree and the kids were helping too.

Leif with the Garland again! ext year I will buy himhis own garland so he can decorate himself if he really wants to.

I hope everyone had a merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving was different this year. Normally most of my family goes out of town and I cook here at home. This year my Uncle Tommy's Family stayed here and we went over to his house and had dinner there. It was a lot of fun. After dinner we attempted to play Pictionary and cranium but it was too hard to get everyone organized we still had fun.



Sadly my husband was not feeling well and spent most of the time on the couch with a stomach ache or in the bathroom. Poor guy!

My handsome son Leif
My uncle Tommy and Aunt Lisa. I am on the end and Erica has her back to us
My cousin Kyle and his friend. I cannot remember his friends name I think its Joel :(
Here are Jaycelyn and her friend Tessa. They are so much fun they remind me of what it was like when I was in High School.

Aurora and Baby Leif sitting and eating at the "kids table"
Here is a picture of my aunt Lisa and I setting the table and my friend Erica is sitting down. I loved Erica's shirt it was pink and brown stripes.

Here is the "kids table" my cousin Jayce and her friend Tessa and Aurora and baby Leif all sat at this table. Really Leif kept wandering over to see what mommy was eating tough.
