Random holiday pictures







Ashley celebrated her 16th birthday this December. I took her and her friends to the mall to see Santa and then we went to Angie's restarant to "clean the sink". We had Emily and her kids to our house for New years they decorated mask among a ton of other fun activities. At Emily we decorated gingerbread houses thank you to Cortney it was fun and so messy. Sugar and Ashley wanted to build something other than a snowman so they built this cute reindeer. They named it Blizzard.

Happy New Year

I am not about to share my resolutions with everyone because I think most of mine are more on a personal level. Everyone has something they would like to improve upon and I am one of them for sure. So I decided that I will take my time and just be happy.

Emily and her girls came over to our house for new years and we had a great time. I saw a local morning show not to long ago share some fun ideas for a new years party with kids and my sister and I did so many fun things with the kids. Clint caught up on some sleep(YEP! he got to come home) and Emilys husband had to work. We filled gift bags full of activities and each hour on the hour(or when they needed a new activity) We started a new project or game. This was really geared towards the little kids but the big girls got involved and had a good time(I hope). I think the funnest one was throwing the sticky hand to grab the paper. We laughed and laughed all night long. We also played flashlight limbo. I think it would be more fun with more kids so maybe we will do this one again in the summer with the neighbor kids.

I hope everyone has a really great new year ahead of them and we love you all.
