Christmas and then some

We pulled out the playstation for a little karaoke Christmas Eve.




This is a little video of some of the fun we have been having in the snow. Forgive the bumpiness. I was riding on back of 4 wheeler


Here are my snowy pictures





See that little black thing? That is Bo trying to run to me

Kids having some fun

We had a great Christmas. Mom and dad came up Thursday. Christmas Eve Brians parents and Mike and Summer, Andrew and Ali joined us as well. Shelby didn't want to wake up too early Christmas morning so the older girls got a bit impatient. They were happy with what Santa brought. 



Brian was very surprised when he got a pitchfork. Well, I guess he was surprised when he found it 2 days earlier while hiding other items. He looks like an excited little boy.

Grandma and the girls

My favorite present. It makes really good hot cocoa. I can't wait to make myself some hazelnut steamed milk. 
Made me sad seeing the girls go to the bus stop this morning. I'm excited for summer break! At least Brian has today off still. One of the best things we did in this house is wire for an audio system. We finally got it up and running last week. Sunday morning I turned Pandora on to nice relaxing Sunday music. It was so nice to have it playing throughout the house. It helped calm my nerves for my new calling. Primary chorister. AHHHHH! (I cant sing and I haven't played piano in years, however, I did survive the first day though)
We had a fun new years eve party at Karen and Kelly's house. And it was fun to see Suzanne and Jeff and Ryan as well. 
Now that all the parties are over, we are going to build shelves in our storage room, so we can organize the basement. We have our doors ordered for down there and all we need now is baseboards, trim and carpet. Then we are going to start building some beds.

Long Time No Write
