Christmas Day

Auntie LeAnne sent WSU hats for Christmas! 

Jeremy opening some presents while wearing his new hat. 


Elizabeth and Papa Norm opening presents. 


Star Wars paper airplane kit!


More unicorns! Thanks Auntie Laura!


Legoes from Auntie Laura!


She started right to work on her unicorn latch hook. It's her first latch hook, but she got the hang of it quickly. 


He started putting together his lego set right away as well. 


Gram and Elizabeth were dressed as twins! Blue flower shirts and pink sweaters!! 


The girls. Too bad I didn't have a pink sweater!

Christmas Eve

We had a Christmas Eve celebration at home. Jeremy had the day off. We had a nice roast dinner, opened presents, and went to church. 

Elizabeth got a bunch of new squishemellows that she was super excited about! 


Nathan and more lego sets! 


Jeremy got me a warm vest. And by warm, I mean warm! It has a battery pack inside of it! The vest heats to low, medium, or high. I can use it on recess duty the next few months while it is very cold and stay toasty warm at least on my core area!! 

I got Jeremy a nifty new mask for his woodworking. We did not get a picture.

The piano looked so pretty! 


She even hung some in her bedroom!

A Husky in the House!

Grandma Pam came down to visit for Christmas. We all got some nice new Cougar shirts for Christmas and then she came out in that ugly shirt! I don't think there had ever been a Husky shirt or hat or anything related to the Huskies in our house EVER. Elizabeth said "Such pollution!"
