Christmas

Christmas at our house was a great one. The kids had a great time opening pressents and making a huge mess. Alexis got a doll house and a bunch of things for her new baby. Phillip took the time and made her a wonderful bed for them. Connor got a new bike. That as you can see he was unable to ride. He was not to excited about the snow at that point. He also got a Lacross stick and lots of video games. Our neighbor was even crazy enough to try to get to work. The snow was nice for the first few days. But even abby got tired of it.

Candy house

Well the kids finaly talked me into putting the house together. The y did a great job. Connor even got into putting the icing on this year. Alexis I think ate more of the candy then she put on the house. It is a good thing that the kits come with extra candy.

first snow

We finaly got our first major snow of the season. We had a great time slidding down the hills at the park. Alexis didn't know what to do with it at first but got into it rather quickly. It was so cold with the wind that we didn't stay as long as the kids would of liked. But we went out a few times later that day.

Zoo lights

Sam and I took the kids to the zoo lights this past week. We all had a great time walking through the zoo in the bitter cold. It seems like it is always coldest the night we go. I guess that is what adds to the fun. The lights are always so wonderful and the train ride is always worth the wait. As they get older though I gues they will be going for us and not themselfs.

Tea

Heather and I started a new Holiday tradition. We all got dressed up in our party clothes and we went to the Heathman for Tea. We all had a great time. Alexis wore her party shoes ans took her party purse. This is definitly the starting of a great new way to start the holidays.
