Christmas Eve

Hannah had two different pairs of Christmas jammies so I had her wear her tutu one on Christmas Eve!  I was trying to take a picture of her and of course Jeffrey needed to be in the pictures too.  He loves her so much!

Jeffrey woke up with some cut on his hear.  It was really bizarre!  We still have no idea how he got it but it wouldn’t really stop bleeding.

Like usual we headed to the Carlsen home for Christmas Eve dinner and traditions.  Ray reads Luke 2 and the youngest grandchild puts Baby Jesus in the Manger and then everyone opens one present.

And because we got home super late like always, I put out the cookies for Santa for the kids.  I think they did a great job decorating the cookies for him.

Snow Days

On December 22nd I shoveled the driveway while the kids played inside.  Then to cheer up the winter day I dressed up Hannah in one of my favorite outfits my mom got her.  She looked so cute with all the ruffles!  I got Anniversary flowers from Brian later in the day and I thought they were so pretty so I had to take a picture.  I wish I could   I remember if we went out on a date that night or not.

On December 23rd it had snowed again and this time the boys wanted to come help me shovel.  They helped for about 5 minutes and got to playing, which I knew would happen.  They made snow angels and then when I finished all of the driveway and walk ways I joined them in a failed attempt to make a snowman.  I guess it was the wrong type of snow for a snowman.  Who knew?  Anyway we then started to throw snowballs and I watched them sled in the backyard.  We spent quite awhile outside and when Tyson hit his head on the fence while sleding I knew it was time to head inside and warm up and rest.  It was such a fun day with the boys.

Jeffrey quickly got frustrated becasue the snow wasn’t going where he wanted it to go, his gloves kept falling off and his hands would get too cold.
