Christmas

All I can say is this was an awesome Christmas having our family back together again. Our family is so blessed to have such wonderful family and freinds!

Santa Loki

Our good friends the Jenkins, gave Loki an awesome Santa suit for Christmas. I must admit we had a blast dressing him up as Santa. He was a good sport and actually wore it all day even tough he looks like he wanted us all to die in the top picture! we have found a new Christmas tradition!

 Seems like yesterday these three were the little ones running around. Now they have adorable little ones of their own.

Love these girls!


We held our annual family Christmas party last week. It is so fun to see the family and my cute aunt and awesome cousins. We played fun games, ate yummy food and had an ugly sweater competition. Mitch was sad he didn't win and Maddi Thomas and Jake worked hard on theirs but 2 of my cute nieces topped them all and Britt's won in the end. It is such a fun night for the cousins young and old to get together for the evening. We will start getting the ugly sweaters ready for next year!

Gingerbread houses

Every year we make gingerbread houses with the kids (well...except last year, Mitch was on his mission and we didn't do it) This year Mitch tried to make up for being gone 2 years by making the tallest house ever. It is always a big mess and a lot of fun!

Beards

The kids have had so much fun with their new facial hair this Christmas season! 

Christmas Dance x 2!

The Christmas dance at the high school was December 15th. Thomas was asked to go by a cute girl way back on the first of November. he was really excited to go and when it finally came time for the dance he had a fantastic time! Then another day in December he was at one of his swim meets and the announcer said over the speaker for Thomas Sheridan had a "red alert" and needed to look at the scoreboard. he looked up and a cute girl from the other high school was asking him to their Christmas dance. So he went to 2 dances this month. What a ladies man!

Happy Halloween

Jake went trick or treating with one of his buddies this year so for the first time in over 20 years I didn't go trick or treating with one of my kiddos. He scored lots of candy and had a great time with his friends. We stayed home and passed out candy and were amazed by how many stupid teenagers came trick or treating. I let my kids go until they are in Jr. high, then they can still talk me into it in 7th grade if they go with a group of friends as long as they still dress up but really, I swear some of the kids that came tonight shave and drive! What dorks!
Any way, we had a great time carving pumpkins last night. It wasfun to have everyone together again!
