The Holiday Season

Well this is a long one. . . To start the beginning of the Christmas season Landon had a great idea to sneak down stairs and open the big Christmas present. When I found him he had left the gift behind and was very disappointed as he says "that was a boring present"! Worked great for me I love my new calender, would have been nice if I got to open it first but hey at least he did not get the satisfaction of opening something of his. Thanks Khendra I love it!
We did get our tree decorated and I have to say it looks different every day. Landon was very into the whole process and got mad at Van for moving everything around. I have to say that I am tired of hearing Landon tell Van to stop taking the tree a part.



We were not as lucky as some of you guys and we waited over an hour to get the three minutes with the famous man. Landon came up with some off the wall toy that I am not even sure exists to ask for and Van looked at him and screamed.







The boys in there Christmas clothes all ready for church, to bad we were 30 minutes late but, they looked so cute. Thanks Grandma for the great matching shirts and ties.

What better way to end a Sunday then with a great family night. The kids did the Christmas program for us. Last year my mom was not so satisfied so she took charge and the kids loved it.
You have to follow up with some great deserts and this is what we came up with. I think that my mom may demote us next year but the ginger bread houses did work. So if anyone needs to throw together a ginger bread house (we did have a week to prepare but being prepared is way over rated) mega blocks work great. Defiantly not how my mom would of had us do it!!

Our holiday season was very busy and fun. We would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

Soccer!

Whitney kept telling us how we needed to go play soccer with her "little girl" because she is really good. Well, I have to give it to her soccer may be the only thing Zoey is really good at (unless you count eating shoes). The kids had a blast and Zoey was wiped out by the end of the game.
Thanks Uncle Tommy, Aunt Whitney, and Zoey!

*yes, we know tackling is not part of the game but it was the only way to stop Zoey*
*Van loved it and was actually good!*

*This one just makes me laugh*
