Random Christmas Activities!

My dad invited us to his work's Christmas party.
It was a lot of fun! There was free food, free cookies,
 free bowling, free drinks, and Santa was there, 
but my kids didn't even want to go see him! 





Every year we make Christmas cookies and 
take them to our neighbors and to our family
members, along with our Christmas card. Our
kids look forward to this! I, on the other hand... =)
It's a lot of fun, and I love the memories, it is just
a lot of work. =)



Derrick's grandma Beulah took us all out to dinner. It
was so much fun visiting with everyone! We missed Brandie
and her family, they were sick, dang it!

Paytin and Oddessey were being silly. 

Pretty little Aria.
My handsome little man.
My pretty baby!
Qunnley, with aunt Erin.

Lowynn got a present from his "girlfriend". =)

Quinnley, opening one of her's.

Out doing some Christmas shopping!


We have had a very busy month! We have had
so much fun spending time as a family!

Oddessey's Christmas Recital!

She did such a good job at her recital! We
are so proud of her! She is a natural. =)
I LOVE to watch her on stage. & she LOVES
dancing on the big stage. =)

We had to take some pictures before her 
performance.



I took some more after!
She got these flowers from her aunt Brenda, 
uncle Jay Dee, and cousins Abbie, Kaydee, and
Arianne. Thank you guys!!!!




Here's one of her dances. Facebook said the 
other video I posted had copyright issues, so 
they removed it. Dang it!

The Kid's Christmas Tree!

They always love putting their tree up in their room!
This will be the last year of them sharing a room, next
year Lowynn will be in his own room. We'll have to get 
another tree! =)








Christmas Party!

We had our first Christmas party of the season! It was
at Derrick's uncle Jason, and his wife Katie's, house. Our
kids had so much fun playing with their cousins. It was
such a fun night. I am so grateful for family! Thank you,
 Jason and Katie!

Oddessey's turn! She was a little hesitant at first, but 
warmed up to him! =)

Chase and Quinnley had a turn, too!




Thank you for inviting us into your beautiful home and
hosting such a fun party! I am so glad we were 
able to go!

Gingerbread House!

We made a gingerbread house in 2010, and hadn't
made one since. My mom bought us one, so we 
decided to put it together. The kids had so much
fun, we'll definitely have to make one every year!

My  big girl!
Love my kids!

Selfie! =)
