Weekend Fun...

  Another weekend gone :(  We had another wonderful weekend!!  Saturday we went to my in-laws for our Christmas party.  We all love going there, it is always so much fun.  At our family christmas party the godparents buy for the godchildren and vice versa.  Daddy bought a Discovery Exclusive Radio Control Tarantula for our 5 year old nephew.  It really was the coolest thing!!  He and the other kids (9 total) had a great time with it.  After the gift exchange between the godparents and godchildren, the adults (other than grandmas and grandpa) played dirty (or chinese) christmas.  That also was alot of fun this year!  We ate prime rib and a bunch of other goodies.  All of the older kids played (or attempted anyway) Twister.  Then some of the adults attempted it.  Today Mom and Bud came over for our family christmas.  Again it's always great to have them out.  We had a great visit with lots of laughter and also exchanged some beautiful gifts.  The girls received an American Girl doll each.  They played with those most of the evening.  When they weren't playing with those they were out sledding down our hill in the front yard.  Poor daddy has to go back to work tomorrow.  I really enjoy having him home with us.  He is always so much fun to be around.  I told him he could stay home and work with me.  He didn't jump at the invitation though!!  Any ideas why?  Tomorrow is back to school here on the hill.  Sissy is done with her break and will start back up tomorrow.  The twins get to help make clay dough to play with tomorrow.  We are going to be working on squares and circles, and big and small this week!!  Sounds like fun huh?  Today I overheard brother J "counting" the cookie cutters as he pulled them out of the bag:)  "da...doo...dee...do...".  If you don't know, what he said was "one...two...three...four...".  I am impressed every day by what they pick up.  I leave you now with some pictures.  The one of our little peanut is what happens if her hair isn't combed down after her bath:)  Talk to ya soon!!
