Christmas break!

After Christmas we headed up to the cabin with the Sanders family.  We are so lucky to be so close to our niece and her cute little family.  Our kids have such a fun time with one another!

We played games, watched movies, took naps and ate.

And of course there was plenty of snow to play in!

We also had an experience with the deer around our cabin that I will never forget.  In the Winter months the deer will walk right up to you and eat out of your hand.  I ran and grabbed my camera after we fed them for a bit.  My kids were beyond happy.  Lincoln giggled the whole time he fed the deer.   It is something I will always remember, such a magical time.

It really was the perfect way to spend the remaining of 2018.  We can't wait to see where and what we will do in 2019!

Merry Christmas!

The kids woke up around 7am ready to open presents!

Lincoln loved his whoopie cusion and his helicopter drone the most.

Addison loved her doll house and American Girl Doll!

And Cambree loved getting her very own hola hoop, Harry Potter books/dvd's and a ukulele.

Later that afternoon we headed to my parents house to celebrate Christmas with them!  

We had a wonderful day celebrating with family.  Hope you all had a great holiday as well!

Christmas Eve

This year we went to my sister in laws, Kattie's house for dinner.  It was so fun to get together with Papa David and Grandma Marie!  It's been a long time since we spent the holidays with them and we were all so glad to be together.  Also Benton's and Kattie's Aunt Kathy and Uncle Allen came and they brought a student who is studying at college nearby who is from Africa and came to America to study.  She was so nice and interesting to talk to!  We had the best night eating, laughing and watching the kids reenact Christ's birth.

Afterwards we hurried home so we could sleep before Santa came to bring us presents!

Mr. Grinch

Lincoln is OBSESSED with Mr. Grinch.  Watches it every night before bed.  He thinks he's hilarious, and when I saw these pj's I couldn't resist.  Also in this picture he's trying to make his face look like Mr. Grinch.

Mrs. Claus

Addison had a Kindergarten gingerbread performance at school where she was Mrs. Clause!  The program was for grandparents only, however since she's so shy she begged me to come.  So of course, I couldn't say no.  And since I was going, Batman had to come as well! She did wonderful and I'm glad she asked me to come!
