Holiday Bowl 2009

Charles and Caleb had a lot of fun at the game.
Of course it didn't hurt that we won 33 to 0.

After the game they went down on the field.

Caleb was a little sad he didn't get to "play" with the players.

Caleb and Charles December 30th, 2009

We they finally got home at around 10:30 Caleb couldn't stop

talking about all the cool things he saw. Football Players, Little Red,

Parachuters, Girl Cheerleaders (actually the first thing he asked for

when they got there), Family, Fireworks, Trumpets, Drums, and more.

While the boys were at the Holiday Bowl the girls had fun at "The Spa".

Complete with a manicure, and pedicure for each.

Play-doh

Does anyone actually buy play-doh for their own children?
Nana and a friend of mine bought play-doh for the children.
After much convincing on their part and a clean living room
for me they lots of fun playing and creating.
Joy do you want me to send it up with Alexis? :)

Christmas Day 2009

Christmas Eve

Tonight we went to church for a beautiful Christmas Eve service.
Then we braved the mall not for shopping but to visit are dear
friend Uncle Joe who has been a friend of daddy's for a long time
and he drives the train in the mall.

When we got home the children opened one
gift from Aunt Jonni Ann as she requested.

New Christmas pajamas!!! The children were so excited...

...that they had to put it them on right away.

Thank you Aunt Jonni Ann!!!

Cleaned and Organized

Winter cleaning ~ Monday the children and I did a clean sweep (2 piles ~ keep and give away) of all of their toys. They have been cleaned, sorted, and put away. It is Wednesday and it still looks great... and yes they have played with them since then. We will see how long it lasts. While we were cleaning they would come across toys they have not played with in a long time... I made sure to point out that if they keep their toys organized they will be able to find things faster.
