December

Another year has passed and I will go ahead and say it...it just doesn't seem possible...where does the time go??? Bryan was on Christmas leave for 21 days and the kids had their 2 weeks off of school. It was so nice to have all that time together. We stayed way too busy doing things like school parties and Christmas performances at both school and church. We attended the Ranger Christmas Dinning Out. Lots of trips to the town square for chai tea, cocoa and Christmas shopping. Since everyone from Bryan's work was off we were able to have several dinner& fun nights with other families. But the best part of all was all the baking with my little loves, listening to Christmas music (watching Bryan dance around the house singing Baby it's Cold Outside), curling up on the couch to watch Christmas movies, picking and decorating our Christmas tree. Those are always some of the best memories for me. I haven't been taking too many pictures but here are some pictures from the month of December completely out of order and all.

Town Square checking out the Live Nativity.

Cohen is so full of mischief

Tried to get all the kiddies in one sleigh for a picture

Didn't work out that well

So instead we took a picture together.

Decorating the tree.

Payton is growing up too fast.

She is so independent and full of personality.

She is my little side kick especially in the kitchen thanks to the

step stool my dad bought her.

Our pretty tree

and crazy kids

School Parties

All the boys in Trent and Brynn's class love Bryan.

They made him wear this Reindeer headband in Brynn's class and

in Trent's they wanted to know if he was in the Army and then stood around whispering about how big he is.

Cohen and Payton are the lucky ones who get to go to both parties and eat twice the sweets.

We had a pizza night at our house with 2 other families.

I didn't take a single pic of any grown ups but I did get some of the kids painting cookies.

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and we wish you many Blessings in this New Year!!
