Christmas

I'm finally updating!!! We had a great Christmas, we were able to go home for 2 weeks and see both our families.
The first week we spent with Tyler's family. His 2 brothers were able to be there with us too. The cousins had lots of fun together!!!
Here are some of the highlights of our fun week.


Since we weren't going to be there Christmas Day we opened up presents early. The kids all got cute Pj's from G&G.


Luckily we got to take some fun pictures with G&G Overall. Here is our family with them on the night we celebrated Christmas!

For our present to Grandma we surprised her with tickets to "The Rockettes" We had a girls afternoon out. It was a fun outing with us girls. It was a neat show. It was fun for both kids and us. I was nervous the girls would get a little bored but they loved it!!! They had to dress fancy for the show and Grandma supplied them with perfume, necklaces, and lip stick. Everything a girl needs to get fancy!!! Thanks to our husbands for watching the other kids so we could go out as girls!!


We made gingerbread houses together one night and the kids LOVED it!! We had each of the them make their own and they spent so much time on them and kept adding more and more candy!!! It was the first year that we didn't make one big one as a family. I think next year we will each make our own little house! It seemed to work perfect for us.



Here is Tay's finished product.



This is before he put any candy on his. His was covered with candy and he was one of the last ones to leave the table. The 2 boys that are 3 and 2 loved this project!!! It was fun to see how long they both sat there and kept adding more and more candy to their house.






We were lucky to get into Boise since it snowed the night we drove there. We hit the storm about an hour before we got into Boise. The next day the kids loved playing out in the snow. Grandpa went out with them and had a snowball fight which was the highlight of their day!!!






We also had a great White elephant gift party, went to McDonalds and played some fun games!! Thanks Overalls for a great time together!
