New Year's Eve

 New Year's Eve was a quite one this year…Jarel had to work so the kids and I stayed home most of the day and hung out. We made a wall out of Costco products to keep the bunnies in that one area...

 …we rolled ourselves up in rugs (Braxton is obsessed lately with rolling my rugs up)...

 …we watched movies while holding a bunny...

 …we went to Grandma and Grandpa Boyack's house for games and treats...

…and we hung out with family

It was a fun day saying goodbye to 2014.

Jarel was able to get off work at a decent time and join us at my parents!

Ouch

Tonight the boys were chasing each other around and one pushed the other into my curio cabinet and the curio cabinet glass shattered. Braxton's head went through the glass and he got a good cut on his scalp. Not deep or big enough to take him in for stitches, but it was like he was scalped in that spot…I could pull on his hair and the skin flap would pull up. So on went the antibiotic cream, gauze pad and underwear to keep it all on while he slept!

Time for a new curio cabinet now!

Magnet Fun

Tyler made signs out of magnets…he had to make this for his Kindergarten teacher Mr. Joshua

He made the Cowboys sign for Jarel

And then of course he made a truck

Game

Playing "Jenga"

Bowling

 We went bowling today and had a great time! Kids are getting better at throwing the ball down the lane!

 We came home and played "fibber"

Christmas Day

Getting ready to go see the presents

The goods before the kids come out

He got treats and he didn't care about anything else!

Makena got a Russian nesting doll that she was thrilled with

His favorite gift this year is a fishing pole! He can't wait to go fishing this summer.

Kali was in heaven with her "snackeeze" it is a cup that you put liquid on the bottom that you can drink and then there is a cup on top for your snack.

Kids got a karaoke machine

We didn't have snow all December and then Christmas morning it snowed a lot! Kids were thrilled. We spent quite a bit of time outside playing in the snow. Kids got some snow stuff for Christmas.

Dinosaur track

Kali got dinosaur track snow stompers

our neighbor came over to slide down our driveway

loved shoveling the snow

Building a fort

Jarel's parents came over to visit that evening!

Our Christmas was a great day. Lots of excitement in our house. Kids were thrilled with the presents they got. We spent our morning opening gifts and playing in the snow!
In the afternoon we went to my parents (so sad I didn't get any pictures) to visit with them and see my siblings. The kids loved seeing Grandma and Grandpa and their cousins. We visited, opened more gifts and had a good time.
That night Jarel's parents stopped by for a visit. Fun seeing them as well.
And before we knew it all our hard work preparing for Christmas was done with. We wait and wait and then the day is done. But it was a good day! Kids were in bed by 8:00! They got up at 5:45.
