Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

If I don't get a chance to post anything on here until after Christmas we just wanted everyone to have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! As you celebrate this Christmas holiday just don't forget the true meaning of Christmas! I know sometimes we can get so wrapped up in everything that we forget! Again Have a Merry Christmas and New Year.... and relax!!!

Santa here we come!!

Every year since Jonathan was a baby we have gone to Bronners to go and see Santa. Since we moved we were really debating on if we wanted to go all the way to Bronners. I said we had to go because it was a tradition and every year the kids get to pick out a new ornament to hang on the tree. We didn't really want to go on a weekend because it is just WAY to busy!!! So we drove up Thursday after Trent got out of work and met both sets of Grandparents up there. We saw Santa first then went out to eat and then came back to Bronners and picked out an ornament for each kid. The kids had a good time. They have been wanting to see Santa for a long time!!!! But we had to wait and go see the REAL santa at Bronners!!! Here are a couple of pictures from our night. I have also attached pictures of the ornaments that we got. The last ornament is the one that Trent and I picked out. We thought it was really cool. The picture does not do it justice though. You can turn the ornament on and it changes colors... it's really cool and it's Santa going to see baby Jesus. The other ornaments are the ones that Santa gave the kids. I love Bronners because they have a Christian base and every ornament they give usually says something about Jesus on it!!! :) Oh and one last thing you will notice in all the pictures of the kids sitting on Santas lap that Grace is holding Jonathan's hand. She would not sit on Santa's lap unless she was holding Jonathan's hand!!! Jonathan told Santa he wanted a Blue Thunder Monster Truck and Grace told Santa she wanted a Barbie!!!

Opps... just noticed that our ornament didn't make it on there... I will try to post it later!!!

Our First Snowman

It has finally snowed enough for the kids to go out and make a snowman... so we thought. Trent and the kids went outside after Trent got home from work on Monday. They made a snowman but it wasn't very big... the snow would not pack. The kids had fun anyways just being outside since they don't get out there very often in the winter. We are suppose to get some more snow this week so hopefully they will be able to build a real snowman.
