A puppy for Christmas!

I know, I know. I am always making fun of dogs being pushed around in strollers, and Chiuahuas in matching sweaters. We got a puppy for Christmas. Colby wanted to surprise the kids, and they were. He went to the pound and adopted Nana. She is a one year old hound dog, and they all love her. Welcome to the family Nana.

Christmas Morning

We had a great Christmas. Santa Claus found us, thank heavens. Garrett was sure to leave him milk and cookies, and a thank you note. He was very excited. They all were excited. Merry Christmas.

Christmas Eve at the Turner's

We had a great Christmas Eve party at the Turner's. The Christmas Elf of course came. We all got PJ's. We had a great dinner. Each family made a ginger bread house. We really missed you Susie!! Merry Christmas!

Let it Snow, Let it snow,Let it snow!!!

For Christmas Eve we went up to Pine Valley sledding. We went with Annie, Chad, Luke, and Hallie. It was so fun, and the weather was perfect. We had to take off our coats, we got so hot. I don't know who had more fun, Chad and Colby or Luke and Garrett. They went down the hill so many times. Carly and Rileigh had a blast building snowmen and having snow ball fights. What a great way to spend Christmas Eve.

Christmas Sunday

Everyone look so nice dressed up in their Christmas dress clothes. Carly especially liked her "Big dress". She loved how it touched the floor.

The Nutcracker

Monday night, we had a girls night out. Mom took Heather, Annie, Rileigh, Carly, and I to the Nutcracker Ballet. First we had a tea party at her house. (She served her special hot chocolate.) She bought each of us a scarf to wear. Very cute. Carly takes ballet and loves it, but she had never been to see a live ballet. She was enthralled. By the end she was dancing in the isles, leaping off the stars, crying for their costumes,and twirling in circles. What a hoot!!

Christmas Card

Hopefully you have received my Christmas card by now. I was very excited with Malea's work. Here it is. It didn't have the red on the right side. That is just for printing purposes. The card is square.

Alvin and the Chipmunks

We went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks today. My kids were so excited to see it. They have been quoting the commercials for weeks. It was very cute. I highly recommend it!!

We went to see Santa Claus with Luke and Hallie. Kaden and Rileigh are too big to sit on his lap. I did talk them into being in the pictures with the little ones.

Family Pics

We got our family pictures taken. They turned out so cute. Thanks Malea.
