Christmas.

I only took a couple pictures

 Our tree that I got in and up by myself.  Even had to learn to use a sawsall and put a blade in it

 The look that you get when you tell her she has to wait

 Grandma J is sending us tubing for the day so she had each letter of the website for the place we are going on a piece of paper hidden thru the house so they were trying to figure out what it is and where they were going.

Every year I have gotten the kids each a Christmas puzzle.  The only ones that they really like are Disney so we ended up having to go big this year.  So here is Elyssa's puzzle.  It is 2000 pieces.  I am not sure how much she helped but mom and I worked on it.  She was not around when it was finished tho. Now we are onto Keisha's itis only 1000 so it should not take as long and then we have another 2000 and a 1000 and then a 100

Barnyard Christmas

This year for the church production Taylor was able to be in it as "Buck" the goat and she was also able to help write the play.  She really enjoyed it.

 Eating hay.  Guess maybe she is spending too much time with the goats.

 climbing the ladder to be the star over the stable.

Some December Fun

I tried to do this earlier but could not figure out how to change from Shaun's google account to mine.  So here we go.

This is a picture of the road that you turn on right before ours, after the blizzard.  They cleared the road but it was very narrow and this is the snow.  There is a ditch on this road too.  

 Shaun's school did a Christmas Party out at Pioneer lodge so we headed off for that one Friday.  Do you really need a better excuse than sledding, crafts, and food to miss school for.  I don't think so.

While the younger 4 were sledding Taylor was crafting.  This is what she made.  I am not sure why there is a line in the middle of the picture.  They are really cute snowman tea lights.  The other kids also made Popsicle stick  snowmen and ornaments too.
