Fun in the SNOW!

The kids were so excited about all the snow, we went sledding on Christmas day in the afternoon! Anden & me hung out in th car most of the time, but everyone else had a blast!

Christmas Pajamas

Chistmas

Tyson & Kyndra came out for Christmas...YAY!! Here are a few photos from Christmas...

Christmas in Kentucky

We spent a few days before Christmas out in KY with my family. It was good to see all the family and celebrate Christmas while we were out there. Jayden enjoys seeing his cousins Kaleb & Carley(they are getting so big). I did make the announcement that next Christmas they had to come to us, since I have most of the kids it is only fair :) And I also told my brother Brian and his wife Amanda, and my brother James and his wife Amy to get busy...someone needs to contribute to the family other than me & Karson!!! We also got to see Tyson & Kyndra when we went to Tyson's basketball game, so that was great! Overall it was a short trip, but it was good to get back home and prepare for Christmas!!

So this is a picture of me & my brothers(had I known we were going to do pics, I would have fixed my hair and put on some make up...oh well this is me in ALL my glory) :)

Bottom left to right: Brian(29), James(21), Greg(33), and me(25).

We took more with my parents & the spouses but no one has sent me a copy, so if your reading this...DO IT!!

Polar Express

So this year before Christmas we went to the North Pole to see Santa via the Polar Express!

I knew Jayden would really enjoy the train ride and of course seeing Santa. But I didn't expect Kolston to love it so much...he was so excited, it was fun to watch his reactions to everything! So here is a photo of us on the train(I should have taken the pic before Kolston had the hot chocolate and cookie). Anyways we had a great time and it was a fun experience for the kids!

A Night In Bethlehem

Our Ward Christmas Party!

So here are our bed sheet/costumes.

Since I am just learning to sew, I knew making the costumes was out of the questions, so I went and bought some bed sheets, made a few magic cuts and this is the end product.

The kids really enjoyed dressing up and the program.
