Christmas

The kids built several forts.

And brought home fun Christmas crafts from school.

 We made gingerbread houses.

 Ryan mainly ate the candy.

 I loved that they were just tiny little houses and that they were from a kit.  (Less clean up.)

And the magic was still there.

 We had a Decembering for FHE and listened to the Christmas chronicles while we ate popcorn.

 And we enjoyed having Stewart home, and lounged around playing video games.

These kids got creative and built a nativity scene with their pillows and stuffed animals.

Stockings being enjoyed.

 Ryan showing off one of his Star Wars Lego sets.  He was thrilled.  (And yes, I forgot to take off the price tag.  But look at me get a discount.)

 Evie was thrilled to get a sweater with a cat on it.  Oh, how she wishes she could have a real cat.

Our little Storm Troopers.

It was a fun Christmas!

Catch Up Time

I took an unintentional blogging break.  So, I'll just throw down some pictures from the last couple of months and that will be that.  Here we go:

Stew trying on Dad's work hat.

We visited my parents, and Stewart showed off his juggling skills.

We went to the pond by their house and fed the ducks.

I forgot how much fun it is to feed ducks.

The ducks weren't shy.

And then they told their buddies.

Ryan was a bit nervous.

The highly coveted swing at my parents house.

 The kids carved pumpkins.

Little boys put pumpkin stickers on my wall when I wasn't looking.

Stew was an astronaut for Halloween.  And the only kid I took a picture of in his costume.  Sad. I know.

After Halloween counting their loot.

Stewart fixed out our Mac's power cord and I was impressed that he got it to work.

This little dude, is always up to something mischievous.
