Snowballs

This was supposed to go with the other one of Q & M at the bottom -Oh well!

Dad looks a little worn out from shopping. Not too many people in Pizza Hut at 8:00 at night on a Thursday.

Sorry about the red eyes Mikaila-you're still a cutie.

Camden looks like he's up to something.

Christmas Eve. Quinn & Mikaila

No, not really snowballs, it just seems that way when I go a week or two without updating our blog!

Well, Christmas has come and gone and hopefully the kids enjoyed what they received. Being that we made a comittment a while back not to use cc's, we were very happy to get through Christmas with that same principle.

Christmas eve was spent at our new church at their candlelight service, and then our usual tradition of going out to eat. This year we chose Macayo's Mexican restaurant. One would think you would order Mexican food, but the kids all ordered hamburgers-go figure! Ashleigh, Joel and myself got the "good stuff!"

Christmas morning was very nice and meaningful. I try hard to make memories for the kids whenever possible, so I made sure to set a nice table for lunch with a tablecloth and candle. Anything is better than just an ordinary lunch, and it's always more special to have us all sitting at the table together.

These past two weeks have been kind of like the movie Groundhogs day. Being that Joel and the kids were home, and each day seemed pretty similar........twins open up our bedroom door, come in, turn the cricket noise on from my sound machine, crawl into our bed and then ask for cereal. Next day....repeat. :)

Of course, what would time off from school be like without getting some shopping in, so we made our trip to the mall. We let the little guys play in the play area and then went out for pizza afterwards.

Today everyone is back to work and school and I am enjoying my usual caring for the boys, and trying to keep our home decent :)

Have a wonderful week!
