Holiday fun

I know this is long...bear with me

I feel like this year the holidays flew by faster than ever...we didn't get to do a lot of the things we normally do. We still had a lot of fun though...here's a glimpse into a few of the things we did.

Decorating the tree was fun. Rilynn was the most into it. She asked for the next two days to put more on the tree. Pax loved to hang the ornaments up as high as he could.

Jenae had a great plan to decorate sugar cookies for Santa. It was so fun. Us, Jenae, Ethan, and our surprise guests Colton and Dakota cut out and decorated cookies.

Paxton was my most focused. Rilynn was determined to do it all by her self (it made more of a mess than actual cookies), but her and Ethan sure did enjoy eating the frosting and candies that were supposed to going on the cookies. They were very efficient at that! The three oldest boy had fun too. We learned a lesson, next year use a table cloth...flour gets stuck in the grooves of the table.

We spent Christmas Eve at Chris and Jessica's. The kids had fun playing while we had fun playing Cities and Knights of Catan. Rilynn and Braxton are such cute little buddies.

This was the way home from Chris's. They were actually lucky because the roads were the worst roads I've ever been on. They were so covered in snow I was petrified! We got home with no problems though (it just took 2 hours).

This is one example of not getting everything done like normal. We just made our gingerbread house tonight for FHE. The kids didn't care that we were late. They we more than happy to indulge in more candy.

Rilynn loved to decorate the tress. Paxton loved doing the frosting and Ev was very precise on where he put the candy pieces. Cooper slept. Great Grandma even came over and joined us at the table and watched the kids work away.

These are the kids with their presents from everyone. Can you say spoiled?! They sure did make out good!
