Christmas

Man I cannot believe how fast this year has passed. Especially how fast Christmas came and went. Christmas is by far my favorite holiday but with all of the exhaustion I must say that I am glad we have a year before its here again.

We had a wonderful day together, we were waken up just before 7 by footsteps galore coming from upstairs. With my sister and her hubby and their 2 kids plus my 3 kids and grandma and grandpa there was no way to ignore the footsteps no matter how tired we were from staying up so late.

It all started out with the exciting tradition of opening their 1 present on Christmas Eve from Grammy and papa....What could it be?? Pj's of course....All of the grandkids always get matching Jammies.

Here is Caitlin and Abbie so proud of theirs...

And Here are Bryson, Kaleb, and Cameron sportin' theirs...

And this year we got a surprise too...

Every year my Hilarious parents get us something from their dog max. So this is our Max gift...Notice the dogs on the jammies.

Jr. Jazz

So Saturday was Brysons last Jr. Jazz basketball game. He loves playing, and was on a fairly good team. Mike and my dad were the Coach/Asst. Coaches and they would always come home so proud that their team was undefeatable. It was really cute to see how all 3 of them were always excited for saturdays to come so that they could have their "male bonding" time. Here are a few shots from the game.

building...Week 3

Okay so it has been almost 3 weeks since they started building our house and I must say it is taking shape now. I will take pictures weekly and post them. It is so exciting they started Framing the house. It has been fun to see it start from being an empty lot to having a big hole on the lot, then getting cement, to now getting lumber. I drive by everyday now that there is something to look at.
I am going to go snap some pictures of it when I pick the kiddos up from school then I will post them.

Caitlin's Christmas Dance Performance

So tonight was Caitlins adorable dance performance. My heck it was a cute one, let me just say the girl really knows how to shake it. She has been so stoked about this dance that she insisted that she get all dressed up for it right when she walked in the door from school. Isn't her outfit so darling.. They always have the cutest, most stylish ones!!

DIG DAY

Yay how exciting, I drove by our lot last Tuesday and I was so excited to see that the whole crew was out there in the cold digging our hole. I didnt take any pictures that day because all you could really see was mounds and mounds of dirt. I was still extatic...So after the holiday, and the shopping, then the dreadful stomach flu I was finally able to drive by again today. We now have a basement and it is all CEMENTED, here are the pictures i snapped. Not very many seeing how the dirt is still a mile high. I will keep posting new pictures of our house as the progress continues!!!
