Winter Videos

 

Christmas Eve

 

We made it back home for Christmas Eve. Jeremy had to work all of the Christmas days so we celebrated with him when he got home from work on Christmas Eve. I made ham and potatoes and we opened gifts. Jeremy went to bed early since he had to work this next morning. 

The kids got new tablets this year as their old ones were slowing down and not working as well anymore. 

Opening some presents! 

These 2 have been dressing like twins by accident a lot lately. It's kind of funny. 

A Fashionable Christmas

Elizabeth had been wanting a poncho. Ever since she spun around in the Christmas tree skirt, she wanted to find something to wear that was like that. Gram got her this cute poncho! She wanted to put on a fashion show in her new clothes and hats. 

 

Christmas in Royal City

We visited the Royal City family a few days before Christmas. There was a little snow so the kids did some sledding. 

We opened some gifts. 

Gram got WAY too much cat food for Christmas presents. In fact, I think that's all she got! 

Elizabeth had really been wanting some big fluffy earmuffs. She also got a regular hat and some other fun gifts. 

Nathan got some Space-X gear and a calendar.  He also got a multitool and some ammo and targets. 

Elizabeth took a picture of her gifts! 

She got this great "Listening through walls" machine. She also got a science kit! 

 

Christmas in Yakima

We went to visit Papa Ray and Kim. Brian was unable to make it because Brady was sick. 

The kids threw some snowballs at Uncle Brian across the valley. He called the FAA on them. 

 

Yaktraks

Grandma Pam came down to visit. The kids got some new Yaktraks for Christmas!! 

 

Operation Candy Cane

The Fire Department had a food drive! If you brought food, they gave you a candy cane! We brought food to our favorite firefighter so he gave us candy canes. 

 

The Grandma Project

 Elizabeth decided that she would paint the grandmas all something that "fit their personality" for Christmas. Here are the final results!! 

December Rose

I noticed on Dec 1 we still had one lone rose hanging in there.
