Family Picture

My parents came to visit this past weekend! We took a much needed family picture.  It's not perfect but with our busy schedule it will have to do.  I think the one of kids/grandparents turned out good though.

Sledding

We took the kids sledding the other day at the park near our house. It was really busy with school being out and everything. I had a really hard time getting pictures of Jordan because he was running around crazy with his friends. Here are some of the near freezing memories:

Meg

Abby

Jordan

Basketball

Jordan's 1st basketball season started a few days after Christmas. He's really enjoying it so far. Its a little bit frustrating because at this age they're not supposed to be able to steal but the refs don't always call it! The pictures aren't great becuase they play in a poorly lit building but here are a few:

We had a great Christmas.  Hope everyone else's holidays were great!

It didn't work!

We tried to avoid the jealousy and pouting this year but it didn't work. I will have to post Christmas pics later. I have to work 6 of the next 7 days so I won't have time to get the pics up. Everyone here had a great day. We got various dvd's and video games. Abby & Jordan got guitars. Jordan wants to know when he gets guitar lessons from Brian now. Megan got a barbie laptop. We also got a couple of presents/treats for our baby Yogi. He loved them but still felt sorry for his little self. He would get up and watch people open gifts and I gave him so many treats this morning I was afraid he would get sick. He kept running back to his new little bed and tucking his nose down into the corner. After all the fun was over the kids piled thier goods on the couch and all their new clothes onto a chair in the living room. While everyone was running around playing with their new things Yogi nuzzled himself between the gifts on the couch and pouted. Usually he is right there with everyone. When I left for work he was all cozied up in the pile of new clothes. I guess he just thinks he should ALWAYS be the center of attention!

Gingerbread Houses

I finally got around to making gingerbread houses. I made them smaller and simpler than I usually do but the kids had fun decorating. My favorite part this year was this extra large spatula that I happened upon while grocery shopping last week (& it was only $3!). It made it much easier to transport the dough from the counter to the pan and back!

Cousin Christmas Party

Every year we get together with the cousins that live here in town and have dinner and let the kids exchange gifts. Here are all the pics.
