Christmas Break

Christmas Break was a lot of fun. We went and saw The Grinch with Al and her kids. I really enjoyed that one. The kids wanted a picture with the Spiderman display.

There was a day before Christmas where we were going a little stir crazy, so we went and saw Mary Poppins too. The weather was really nice one day, so we played outside with Shiree and her grandkids.

We ended up getting a little snow that the kids liked playing in.

Our friends Jim and Kamee had us over for dinner and games one night. That was really fun. Tessa and Leah hit it off right away and loved playing together all night.

Acacia came and babysat while Paul and I went to dinner and Elijah's basketball tournament. I love watching his games.

Mel offered Jonah $20 to go in the middle of the court and dance for one minute during halftime of the varsity game. He rocked it! :)

The kids loved playing with all their new Christmas toys. Tessa and Damon were so cute playing their instruments together! Tessa would hold the mic for them while they took turns singing.

They painted.

And shot targets.

They've had a lot of fun with Damon's camera.

Grandma Ham came over to see what they got for Christmas. Rockwell loved playing games with her.

Hallee and Wyatt came over and played.

The boys had a blast having a Nerf war in the Nerf course that Paul and Rockwell set up.

We went to Paul's school twice to ride bikes and play basketball, soccer, and dodgeball.

Paul turned on the music, and Tessa was in heaven. She danced on the scooter all around the gym, doing all sorts of tricks. It was absolutely adorable!!

The Carr's and Loosli's came over for New Year's Eve. Paul made street tacos and we played games until midnight. 

We went to Adria's house on New Years Day for our Christmas party with Marmie. It was fun to visit with everyone and play some games.

Tessa and Damon got to hold their new kittens, and they were in heaven. They wanted to bring one home SO SO bad. Damon has asked to see these pictures of the cats every day since then, and he tells everyone he sees about the kitty cats. They really were adorable, but we'll just keep visiting cute animals at other people's houses for now. :)
