Christmas

Christmas Morning

Sorry the house does not have lights in the front room so you cannot see the video but you can listen to the little voices of excited kids!

Gingerbread Cookies

Eric's preschool class talked a lot about the Gingerbread Man this year reading the story and going on hunts around the school to find him... We made Gingerbread cookies and let them have at it. Ethney enjoyed eating the frosting and mini m&ms while Eric was concerned once he got messy he needed to clean his hands and work area. Notice how many m&ms were placed just on 3 cookies...

Santa Claus & Aakre Update

It turned out that it was not the right time for Amber to go to work it was not working out with the kids and our family it was too hard on everyone. Amber finally decided it was best to quit. Brian was transferred to a job with a good possibility of weekly overtime on Saturdays (so for the time being we wont miss the little money I was making)... We then had time as a family together we were able to get the tree up and take the kids to see Santa (they have been asking daily for awhile)
They were so excited walked right up to him and Eric told him he wanted "Henry" (another train from Thomas & Friends). He then talked 'Thomas' with Santa and loved it! Ethney asked for a white puppy (she has seen at Target) she loves dogs and horses and that is what she wants to ride a horse and a white puppy (this puppy walks on a leash and barks).
