FIRST SNOW DAY!!!!

TODAY THE DAY THE KIDS WERE SUPPOSED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL AFTER XMAS BREAK THEY GOT A SNOW DAY!!! LUCAS CAME OVER AND SPENT THE NIGHT AND AFTER A FEW ERRANDS WE CAME OVER TO BRENDAS TO SLED. IT IS EXTREMELY COLD OUT ABOUT 12 DEGREES BUT THAT IS NOT STOPPING THE TWO OF THEM FROM RACING DOWN THE HILL. HUNTER AND I DECIDED TO SIT THIS ONE OUT IT IS TOO COLD FOR ME OUT THERE.

CHRISTMAS #7

SO SATURDAY AFTER XMAS WE HAD PLANS TO GO TO MY BROTHERS. MY DAD WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT IN DUE TO THE WEATHER. SO WE WENT AHEAD AND WENT ON OVER. THE KIDS ARE NOW IN THE ROUTINE OF WAITING TO EAT TO CLEAN UP AND THEN THEY GET TO OPEN GIFTS. TARLAYN GOT A NEW VEST TO RIDE IN. WE GOT ADDI NEW BOOTS AND PURSE. LUCAS GO HIS TAPOUT CLOTHES FROM US AND WAS SO EXCITED HE PASSED OUT!!! WELL NOT REALLY BUT THAT WAS THE IDEA. HUNTER GOT A ROPING ROPE FROM HIS AUNT AND UNCLE. SO BY ALL MEANS IT WAS ONLY FITTING THAT THEY SHOULD GET TIED UP FIRST. BY THE END OF THE NIGHT EVERYONE HAD ENCOUNTERED THE ROPE. I BELIEVE THEIR WERE ONLY A FEW ROPE BURNS.

CHRISTMAS #6

SO AFTER OPENING GIFTS AT OUR HOUSE CHRISTMAS MORNING IT WAS TIME TO HEAD TO GRANDMA'S FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER AND MORE GIFTS. SINCE I BROUGHT HOME MY MOM'S TRUCK IN THE BLIZZARD AND WE HAD A TON OF SNOW WE STOPPED BY AND PICKED UP BRENDA ON THE WAY. I CALLED AND OFFERED JACLYN AND HARIOM A RIDE BUT HE SAID THEY WOULD BE FINE. SO AS TIME WENT BY NO JACLYN AND HARIOM. FINALLY THE PHONE RINGS THEY HAVE NOT ONE BUT BOTH CARS STUCK IN THE STREET. SO AFTER GETTING THE ONE OUT THAT WOULD ACTUALLY GO FORWARD WE DECIDED THAT EATING AND PRESENTS WERE MORE IMPORTANT AT THE TIME THEN PULLING OUT THE OTHER CAR. TARALYN WAS VERY EXCITING TO FIND HER GIFT AFTER GRANDMA MADE HER GO ON A TREASURE HUNT, IT WAS THE FASHION RUNWAY KIT. HUNTER GOT A NEW TRACTOR AND ANIMALS. I WAS VERY EXCITED TO GET A NEW PERSONALIZED PAN AND MY PAULA DEEN STONEWARE I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING. AFTER PRESENTS AND FOOD WE HEADED OVER AND PULLED THE OTHER CAR OUT OF THE ROAD. IT MADE FOR A VERY EXCITING DAY...

CHRISTMAS #3

WELL I HAVE NO PICTURES OF CHRISTMAS #3. BUT LEE AND BABY BAILEE CAME OVER TO OPEN THEIR GIFTS. TARALYN GOT A COOL NEW STYLISH SHIMMER PURSE AND HANNAH MONTANA TOWEL SET. HUNTER GOT A NICE NEW JACKET AND CARS TOWEL SET. WE GOT BAILEE SOME NEW CLOTHES BECAUSE EVERY GIRL NO MATTER HOW OLD OR YOUNG NEEDS NEW CLOTHES. WE MADE IT A SHORT NIGHT WITH DINNER SERVED BY PIZZA HUT.

CHRISTMAS #2

MONDAY NIGHT WE HAD XMAS WITH WESTON SINCE HE WOULD BE LEAVING FOR HIS DAD'S TILL SCHOOL STARTED BACK. WESTON GOT LOTS OF COOL BUG KEEPER TOYS, DS STUFF, AND A COOL BEAVER HAT TO WEAR IN THE WOODS. TARLAYN GOT A TON OF COOL CRAFTS AND HORSE STUFF. HUNTER GOT HIS PUTER AKA COMPUTER WHICH HE LOVES. IT WAS JUST A QUICK NIGHT TO OPEN GIFTS BEFORE WESTON LEFT.

CHRISTMAS #5 --ACTUAL CHRISTMAS DAY

CHRISTMAS MORNING FINALLY ARRIVED. THE KIDS HAD A GREAT TIME GETTING ALL THEIR STUFF OUT OF THE STOCKINGS. BOTH HAD HUGE GIFTS FROM SANTA. TARALYN GOT 4 NEW FLUFFY PILLOWS AND A DIGITAL CAMERA. BY LOOK ON HER FACE SHE WAS SO EXCITED TO GET HER CAMERA. HUNTER WAS SO EXCITED TO GET HIS NEW SPIDERMAN BIKE AND ROPE. SO NOW HE CAN TIE UP HIS BULL WITH HIS NEW ROPE. THE ENTIRE LIVING ROOM WAS COVERED IN PAPER AND GIFTS. THEY BOTH GOT LOTS OF NEW CLOTHES AND TOYS. I GOT SOME GREAT BLACK SLIPPERS FROM SANTA THAT TARALYN HAD STOLEN FROM ME ALREADY. TARALYN AND AUNT BETH HAD ALSO GONE SHOPPING FOR ME AND GOT ME SOME NEW CLOTHES AND JAMMIES. I ALWAYS LOVE TO GET NEW JAMMIES.

CHRISTMAS #4

CHRISTMAS EVE WE ALWAYS GO UP TO MOM'S TO OPEN GIFTS. THIS YEAR I WAS ABLE TO FIND JAMMIES TO FIT ALL THE GRAND KIDS FOR THE PICTURE IN FRONT OF THE TREE. I WONDER HOW OLD THEY WILL BE BEFORE THEY DON'T ALLOW ME TO BUY THEM MATCHING PJ'S AND MAKE THEM SIT IN FRONT OF THE TREE FOR PICTURES. ADDI AND HUNTER HAD FUN WRESTLING WITH UNCLE JEREMY. WE HAD TON'S OF GIFTS TO OPEN AND ALWAYS LET THE KIDS GO AT IT FIRST. THE MOST EXCITING PART OF CHRISTMAS EVE THIS YEAR WAS THE DRIVE HOME. OF COURSE WE HAVE TO COME HOME SO WE CAN WAKE UP TO SEE WHAT SANTA HAS BROUGHT US. THIS YEAR EVEN THOUGH WE HAD TO DRIVE HOME IN A BLIZZARD IT WAS WORTH IT. NORMALLY THE HOUR DRIVE HOME FROM MOM'S TOOK US 3 HOURS THAT NIGHT. IT WAS DEFINITELY AN ADVENTURE WE WON'T FORGET. PLUS THAT MEANT WE HAD A WHITE CHRISTMAS A VERY VERY WHITE CHRISTMAS.
