Pumpkins!

 I sure love these kiddos. They are so much fun!

We love our traditions.

I kind of hate that we are doing so many of them without Jeff. But he is working hard and we appreciate all he does.

 Sydney didn't want to carve her pumpkin this year... we cut off the top and she gutted it and then she just gave him a pink face and didn't want the pink cut off! :)

Tim's pumpkin is a perfect replica of his personal, original comic people.

 Seth cut four sides to his pumpkin.

 

 

Summer Ice Cream Party!

Partying with the Shulers. Last day of school tradition! Woo hoo!

Christmas Eve PJ's & Fun

We had such a fun and busy Christmas Eve. Sydney got up early and I got busy! I made cinnamon rolls and then sugar cookies. By the time I was on to the cookies the boys were up and helped me cut them out and then everyone got to frost a few, even Sydney. :)

We all worked together to clean up the house and then we went sledding (previous post :)) We had a fun seafood/soup dinner and then the kiddos opened their Christmas PJ's!

 

I love these four kids so much!

Silly boys!

After our pj's and pictures we read our books. We always read The Night Before Christmas and my favorite nativity story- Bright Christmas. Jeff had given me a new Christmas book so we read that one too and then my sister gave us a book by President Monson along with a CD of him reading it. We listened to that and we all loooved it! So many fun traditions.

Christmas Eve is my favorite! :)

Holiday Sledding :)

We love to go sledding on Christmas Eve. Last year there wasn't enough snow... zero snow I think, just freezing cold.

This year we had just enough snow and the boys were thrilled.

Sydney had never been sledding before. This girl loves the outdoors and she loved sledding. We even helped her make a snow angel. :)

The boys on their homemade jump.

The Gerrards came along. :)

 

Kinslee & Sydney

Carston

Sydney and Jeff came zooming down, hit the bump... and this was taken about 2 seconds before they flipped completely over! Jeff  did a good job keeping Sydney safely tucked away, she never hit the ground and he did a full 360 and landed on his butt with Syd on his lap. -ya, gave me a bit of a scare!!

The Gerrards!

Taylor

We didn't make it far before she was out!

Sledding is a great way to wear a girl out. :)

Christmas Eve Eve Moive Night!

We had so much fun, all 6 of us on Christmas Eve Eve. We just had a little Home Alone movie night. But it was lots of fun. Sydney even hung out with us for the whole show.

Gingerbread Houses

My friend Heidi bakes gingerbread house molds every year for her pre schoolers, she baked a few extra so our kids could make some too! It was so fun! The kids loved it.

Sydney had a great time... even if she didn't do a lot of decorating. :)

We were so happy they invited us over for some fun!

The boys all loved it!
