Pictures for you all!!

Thanks Becca for putting picture online for us!!

Sorry I can't move the pictures around so they make more sense. Becca very sweetly put them all on for me with her computer
and we both thought we could move them around but I can't.
And it would take a LONG time for me to put them on so
better on then not!! :)

L and E with their stick on mustaches. They loved them and they are reusable!!


J and L with their facial hair and their matching PJ's.

Smiling!! Papa's got a funny look on in the back!!

Our 2nd annual family Gingerbread house project!!

We build it close to Christmas and eat it on New Years.

We got a huge kit this year but had icing problems so this is as

done as it gets. E decorated the trees in the front. J and L did

a side of the roof each and Papa and I did the rest.

Baby R watched from her chair and ate Gingerbread cookies...

I think she has the right idea!!!

(from the one that flopped the icing :)

The boys decorating the roof!!

E, smiling as she happily stacked candies on the trees.

E in J's armour that he got for Christmas..

Papa reading "On the shores of Silver Lake" to the kids in their matching PJ's.

I think this was boxing day!!

J with his brand new 'kid guitar' which he's already learned a chord for,

and in his Knight outfit!! Boy is he growing up fast.

This was Christmas morning.

Note the ice on the window, it was only 0F that morning

and we could see out the window!! Bonus!!

E cooking with her new little kitchen on Christmas morning.

We have limited space so we got

her this little set that all fits into the pink box for storage.

She loves it and made all kinds of things already.

Papa is tuning J's guitar in the back.

L with his new log truck... playing with his sisters moose.

He does like his trucks

but they zip around so much I haven't got a good picture yet.

This was also Christmas morning.

The boys using their new swords to help E open her little kitchen!!

She was quite impressed!!

J and L with their armour and pirate stuff on Christmas morning.

They were both SO ecstatic!!

Note: What you see in the back is about 1/3 of our living space. Kitchen and dining room.

The boys are in the living room.

Oh and just in case you are wondering the curtains have new rods that

will cause them to fit properly... the old ones are too short and too brittle!

L looking very piraty!!

We disliked the skulls that were all

over this set so I took them off or colored over them.

Much better and he didn't even notice!!

J without his sword!!

I packed this all together in a box and wrapped his sword separately.

He was SO worried he wouldn't get a sword to

'protect the family!'

From what I know not!! :) But he loves us!!

E looking very pleased with her new horse from Auntie R.

When I took the picture she had just realized that the horse made noise!!

Taken Christmas morning.

Well that's our Christmas in a nutshell.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures and God Bless!!
