Every Christmas is the best. We do exactly the same things every year. Christmas Eve we have a full blown turkey dinner and Seth makes home made ice cream. Then we have a white elephant gift game, then a spiritual program with lots of singing, the I read Christmas at Grandmothers that my dad wrote and I always cry, then we play games, with Gestures being my favorite, then we end off the evening with "It's a Wonderful Life." Christmas day we have a big late breakfast with Salmon and waffles with strawberries and whip cream, eggs and juice. the kids play games and they usually go on the four wheeler. Family is pricless and we have been lucky enough to always have some kids around, which is my favorite part of Christmas. Ahhhh, such wonderful memories.

Here's another video of the game lightening.

Here's some pictures of our Thanksgiving. We have the pie pig out, playing lightening at the church, Braden feeling sick, Mycah and Dejah making pies and the ladies crocheting.

Okay, so here's the finished products.

This shows the difference in Keaton and Kelsey. Keaton is enjoying decorating by throwing his tree together and Kelsey is taking great pains to make hers perfect.

Today's a typical Saturday. Seth is remodeling the t.v. area so we can put in a bigger screen t.v. Keaton is the puzzle master. He's really enjoying some down time, while waiting for his date. Kelsey is fixing her hair getting ready for her Saddie Hawkins date and I am studying my Sunday School lesson. What a peaceful day!

Gabe and Christy bought us a new dog. Why, I'll never know as we already have a dog but he sure is cute and we are getting attached to him. His name is Buster.
