2 down 2 to go....

I was hoping to get the quilts done for Christmas....I finished the girls but the boys I still need to work on......The kids had sooooo many baby blankets I didn't know what to do with them all....Madison wouldn't let me give them away....and when she found out that I was cutting them up she was not very happy with me....until I told her that I was going to make them into bigger quilts......I have never attempted machine quilting before and I'm having lots of fun making them.....

Stick Horses

The girls and I had so much fun making these stick horses......we laughed and laughed.....we think they are cute.....:) the girls like to ride them around the house......

We love horses...

Madison loves her horse she got for Christmas.....almost as good as the real thing.....

Mommys attempt at making a pinata.....lol

Makenna in her favorite gift....

Why we ask ourselves do we spend so much money on gifts when we know that the kids favorite thing to play with is boxes.....

Makenna loves to pose....

Makenna in her new dress......

boys shocked that they got a Wii....

About noon on Christmas day.....the boys found a small present that led them on a treasure hunt to more gifts.....a Wii and lots of games......needless to say we didn't see them anymore that day or since......

Snow.....

It snowed here on Christmas day.......first time since we have lived here.....it was very fun....

Merry Christmas....

The girls got up at 8:30, peeked downstairs and then went and woke up the boys at 9:00...

So excited to get new Christmas Eve pjs..... :)

Yummy

We all had so much fun making the gingerbread houses.....the house smelled really good....:)

They turned out pretty cute......our gingerbread village....

Landon had fun crushing the candy canes and putting them on his gingerbread house

I have never done gingerbread houses before........this year I thought it would be fun to do them with the kids........

Madison and Makenna

Madison liked to rake up the leaves on the trampoline and then jump in them.

Braxton is our conservative driver.....Next time we will need to tell him pretend you are playing need for speed....although, it is good to be safe...
