Christmas Eve

These picture are really late, we have had a lot of trouble with the blog. These are pictures of our quiet little Christmas Eve dinner. We bought a new camera for Christmas and these are the first pictures taken with the new camera.

Our simple and quick Christmas Eve dinner.

I am getting huge!!!!!

Testing out our new camera.

Technical Difficulties

We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with are Blog after being forced to switch to the new version of Blogger. For some reason we are unable to log on to our account with our computer at home. Sharese has a lot of pictures she wants to put on the Blog and has been unable to do so for a few weeks. So as soon as we can she will be posting more Christmas pictures and others we have taken since then.

Before Christmas Pics

We got our first major snowfall the middle of December. It was fun to play in but very cold.

The snow was too powdery to make a snowman but we were able to build a snow castle with some buckets. The snow is not as fun to play in when you have a big belly like mine and can't do much.

Kory and I went to the temple and got McKay his very first babysitter to come to the house and watch him. No, it wasn't Chase. Hailey was the one and Chase wanted to join in on the fun.

Our great babysitter.

Eating out.

An ornament McKay got in his Kidsmeal.

Hard to see but Kory has a crown on one of his top teeth that has had a crack in it for years. Well just our luck the tooth chipped off and Kory needed to get it replaced. It was an unexpected Christmas present costing $400.00 even with the insurance paying half of it. OUCH!!!

McKay at playgroup. We went to the church and played red light green light and ate snacks and played with balls.

Most of the kids brought their bikes. They played with those most of all and had a lot of fun chasing and following each other. When I told Kory that we were supposed to bring McKay's bike to playgroup to ride in the Church Gym, Kory was not very happy and said that that was why when he went to play basketball that the floors are so bad.

Christmas time

Here is our tree this year.

My little village above our fireplace.

My wooden block manger scene.

Our noisy train under the tree.

Cute McKay.

These are the last of our vacation pictures. We helped clean up leaves one morning. McKay had a lot of fun. However, the next day there were about the same number of leaves that had fallen as we had picked up.

Thanksgiving Vacation

Dad putting Kory to work on more fountains. Kory was the happiest on this trip when he was doing manual labor.

Mom also put Kory to work and had him climb the mountain and pull down some dead trees. Kory got really into it.

Dad helped also. A good supervisor.

Kory pulled most of them down with a rope and a rock but then at the end used a saw.

At the Grandma and Grandpa Hall home. This is McKay's favorite toy there, marbles.

Thanksgiving time!!!! Charles and the boys building with the toys.

Dinner time.

Thanksgiving vacation

McKay and Jefferson played together all the time and ran around and played outdoors. They had a lot of fun together.

Leif and Julie and family rode their four-wheelers to the Thanksgiving feast. They let Kory and McKay have a little ride in the dark before they left for home.

There they go.
We helped Grandma and Grandpa put up Christmas Decor after Thanksgiving was over. We had a lot of fun.
McKay took a friend to the new penguin moving called Happy Feet. This is his friend Craig who is the son of one of my best friends from High School.

The day before we left we went with Leif and Julie and their family on a four-wheeler trek. We drove on some fun trails around Grandma and Grandpa's house. We went all over mountains, rivers, rocks, and bridges and had a lot of fun. We even got Grandpa to ride one. He had fun also and did really well probably from all those riding lawn movers he has had over the years, this was just a bit faster.
