Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas came early at our house this year, because we were leaving for Ohio on Dec 24th!  We are actually pretty tempted to have Christmas come early or on random days EVERY year, because it was so fun having the kids be super suprised!! AND we got to sleep in. The kids usually let us sleep on saturdays while they go upstairs to the toy room and play for a while. Lane finally ventured downstairs and we hear this shriek, then he runs up to get the girls and all we hear is a breathless..."CANDY CANES.....PRESENTS!!......HULA HOOPS!"  it was helarious!!!!!! So the kids all ran downstairs and were checking out their stuff and me and Scott finally ventured downstairs and we had a nice leisurely morning playing with our new toys.  Perfect! :)

Good times!  Merry Christmas!!

Scott's 31!!!

YUP scott's becoming an old man :)  We celebrated his 31st birthday in December!!! The kids were excited...lucy danced, the boys made silly faces...I made a BERRY PIE!  and we had lots of fun!  Happy birthday Scott!!! We love you!!!

Crazy animals

So we finally got a dog house for our dog......the cats moved in immediately....closely followed by the remainder of our chickens.....The dog gets to come in sometimes...when they are feeling generous :)

Lucy's first concert!

Lucy is in preschool this year, and L.O.V.E.S. it!!!  Her teacher is Miss Roxanne, and she is awesome, we love her!  She taught Lane too, and is a sweetheart.  Lucy had her first Christmas concert and they did awesome. They sang 2 songs and it was adorable.  AND *I* did not cry this time!!  I'm growing up! :) haha...
