Christmas 2014

Oh how we love this time of year!

It seems every year I get a picture of the kids by this tree that we got at the Dollar Store the first Christmas we were married.  It always shows me how much the kids are growing!

Throwback to 2010

Christmas Sunday

We went to the cabin for a night a day or two before Christmas.  Just for fun.  There was ALOT of snow, a solid 2 feet at least.  Our car made it up the hill, but got so, so stuck trying to turn into the cabin driveway.  After trying to go back and forth for awhile we realized we were really stuck.  The kids were so funny!  They were getting scared and when Isaac got back in the car they said they had been praying.  Anyway, we ended up walking up the drive and then Isaac lugged all our luggage and food up from the car.  Isaac and I then went back down and used some pine tree branches and some pushing to move the car a foot more, just in case anyone else came up the road.  Fun memories!

"Sleeping" in the loft together.

Out enjoying the snow and beautiful scenery!

Sledding.  Love these faces!

Emry is so brave when it comes to sledding.  She loves it and has no fear!

Christmas Eve.

We read the story of the birth of Jesus from the Bible and acted it out.

Here we have a shepherd, Mary, and a wise man.

It looks like she's performing CPR, but she's really wrapping the baby in swaddling clothes.

What a great tradition to start!

Sleeping together in sleeping bags, excited for Santa to come!

Playing with her new play-doh dentist toy.  She's been into play-doh lately, 

which is helpful when the boys and I are doing school.

On Christmas day we went out to some friends' land with a bunch of friends for a little while.  There were 4 wheelers, and mini snow mobile (which my kids loved, and completely took over) and sleds, and cold.  

Asher lovin it!

We had a great time.  

We played games the rest of the day and had a nice Turkey, mashed potatoes, salad and Martinelli's dinner.

A friend snapped a family picture at the sledding and we are excited to add one more to our family!
