it's been awhile

I haven't posted in awhile.
A bit of a quick recap post.
We left off in November just before...

this amazing Thanksgiving Dinner at Aunt Amy's house! Delicious turkey!

An elf appeared on Thanksgiving morning, the kids named him Fred, and he stayed with us until Christmas Eve.

Soccer season ended. Good games.

The weather is wonderful, the Barbie jeep, bikes and rollerblades are back on the road.

Aunt Robyn came to visit and helped us put together our gingerbread house.

Another tooth fell out (thank goodness Aunt Robyn convinced Ella to give it a little tug!).

Together with the cousins again, playing Legos.

A special 4th birthday celebration for Zach and Nate.

4 super heros all 4 years old!
(Zach, Josh, Charlie, & Nate)

Christmas card photos were taken.

Christmas desserts were made.

Grandma Betty's raspberry rhubarb jelly is the best!

The bubbles packed inside out of town packages are extremely entertaining.

Getting ready to open gifts with Mo and Grandad!

Snow toys from Kylie! Opened just in time for a trip to the North Pole (Williams, AZ) and some fun with fresh snow!

Charles and the girls made a wall!

Christmas Eve!
