Thanksgiving

I havent done a Thanksgiving blog yet, we had a really good time. We went to my parents house. We were not sure if we would go or not until Thanksgiving morning. The twins had been sick the whole week, so we were not sure if we should go or not, we got up thanksgiving morning and no one had thrown up that night so we decided to go. Kyle had quite a few adventures that day he went hiking, made a sword, and drove a car into a ditch, luckily everyone was safe and he had a lot of good stories to tell at school. The girls still werent feeling good so they wanted to be held the whole time and they wouldnt eat, but I think we only had one episode of throwing up. Friday the kids got to help cut down a christmas tree which they thought was great fun, and grandma let them help decorate. Marc and I were also able to get most of our christmas shopping done and the kids got to make peeps. we had a nice weekend we were all glad that we ended up going.

Snow!

This morning we woke up to about 5 inches of snow. The kids were very excited, they could not wait to get out and play. after Marc left I decided to attempt to get 4 little kids ready for the snow, it was a major job to get them all ready everyone seemed to be missing something, there were a lot of tears involved. But we finally made it out. The twins have never been in the snow they would take a step fall down and giggle it was pretty cute. Kyle and Hailey built the snowman by themselves they were pretty proud of it. Then we all came in and had Hot Cocoa, it turned out to be fun. It is still snowing Im sure I will get to do it all again soon.

Grandpa's and Grandma's visit

Friday night Grandpa and .Grandma came for a quick visit. the kids were very excited, we had a fun evening. My Dad made a shelf for the dining room so he and marc put that up. It looks really nice, now I just need to get some cute things to put on it. Grandpa sat and played with the kids, he and kyle played an intense game of checkers. grandma brought cute pillowcases for Kyle and Hailey, princesses for Hailey and Pirates for Kyle, they both said they slept really good on them, i dont think they slept good enough they were all up by 5:30 the next morning. It was a short visit but fun to see them.

Crazy night with Kyle and Hailey

Tonight Anna has a meeting, so Dad gets to watch the crazy kiddies.
Hailey wants to say: We took a crazy picture. My mom is the best cook ever. I got a new dress for christmas. It is blue and has a blue flower. The flower sparkles.
Kyle wants to say: Mom made the best cinnamon rolls today. Hailey and I are the naughtiest kids in the world. We had a fun saturday cleaning out the yard. (Marc: Kyle and I had so much fun that we cut down some flowers that anna said we should have left.)
