We wish you a Merry Christmas!

As Kembrie so sweetly would say, "I would like a Swan Palace this year".

She must have been a good girl because that is exactly what she got.

She loves to play with things that have little pieces, and trust me this

palace has plenty of little people, little food, little chairs, little horses, etc.

Santa delivered lots of toys to our house this year.

Among the favorite was the Nerf turbo blaster for Brexten.

I actually was a little nervous for too much rough housing,

but Brexten is pretty good to shoot the target he also got.

It's Bryan who likes to get carried away with other people.

All ready to crawl into bed on Christmas Eve Night.

Kembrie, Brexten and cousin Abbie.

All dressed up for Christmas Sunday. I absolutely loved red this year

as you can tell, but Brexten and Kembrie didn't mind.

Our annual pose in front of the Christmas tree.

This year for Christmas Grandma Vivi came over and made

the cutest Gingerbread House with the kids while Mom & Dad

went out to our own Christmas Party with friends.

I think they did a great job! Although we did complain of bellyaches

from too much eating of the decorations.

Winter Wonderland

This year has been extremely cold, but there has been enough snow

to build a fabulous snowman that was even taller

than Brexten and Kembrie.

Bryan did a great job helping the kids roll the snow into huge balls

while I was creative enough to find whoppers, M&M's, a hat and scarf, and a real carrot nose.
