New Year/ New Room

Right before the New Year approached, Hubby and I decided that the room with all the "Junk" needed some redo. So here you go...

It started off with an ugly shade of pink and old track lighting.

With some paint and track lighting it already looks like a new room.
The cabinetry for sewing and crafts and a place for the laptop.
A tall cabinet for yarn and fabric

And even a corner for the kiddos to play.

I have been under the weather for the last few days, but am on the upswing of getting better. Hubby is expecting great things out of me now that the room is done...better get to work!

Merry Christmas!

From Our Family to Yours

Christmas Choir

Well it's that time again, unfortanately my camara (or is it just me:) didn't take that good of pictures. I didn't realize until the end that I should of had my flash off...so here you go. All three girls sang in the Christmas special this year. And it was Jordan's first having a trio part, although, I think it was actually a duet...Not sure how it all worked, but she had fun and no nerves to be had:) Unlike her mother who didn't breathe the whole time.

A Night of Fun

Saturday evening, our friends dropped their kiddos off at our house so they could go to a company Christmas party. We had fun ourselves...Pizza, decorating cookies and a movie. They are great kids to have around and they decorate a mean cookie:)

A Very Full Weekend

Saturday started out with the girls going to choir practice for the Christmas special. Then off to home for lunch and then to see Santa at the train depot in a near by town. They had at least 12 different train sets up and running. Hot cocoa, cookies, crafts and a ride in a caboose...to see Santa.

More pictures

Hubby had a great idea of pulling the kids in the sled...by tractor:) The kids had a blast! The snow was so deep that it was coming over the sled. All in all I think we got about a foot of snow during the week. But now it is melting...in fact it is almost gone:( Jaelyn had fun until it tipped over then she wanted to drive. So she hopped up with daddy and drove. Sorry the pictures are so dark, even with the flash this was as good as it got.

Snow Time Activities

We played hookie from school today so we could play in the snow. After my youngest went down for a nap the other kids and I set up the tree.( For you Thanksgiving visitors...yes the table is still in the living room, seems my hubby has grown quite fond of it GRRRR) The kids did a great job and it went up and was decorated in less than 2 hrs. We also put up our stockings and decorated the rest of the house.

The kids came out of the cold to hot cocoa with marshmellows, and how buttered popcorn. And then for dessert I made pumpkin bread and topped it with Cool Whip. What a fun day...I think we might do the same for tomorrow:)

Here hubby was holding our youngest trying to get her to put the angel on top...she didn't quite get the hang of it...

So we tried #3 and she couldn't get it on either..Hubby just ended up doing it. Made for some laughs and giggles

Thursday Snow

The Thanksgiving post or post Thanksgiving post not sure what it is. Anyway, we had a great time having Thanksgiving at our house this year. It was so relaxing...yes, I said relaxing. Including us there were 21 in our house. The food was good but the company was great. Would love to do it again next year.
