Sledding and Snow Fun

Yes that is Jordy on a bike . . . I told him it wasn't a good idea but I have also learned with this child that he is stubborn but ambitious so I will not stand in his way if he wants to try. And try he did, buuuuuuuutttt it didn't last long. Harper wasn't far behind him, having to get out all the ride on toys. It really has been lots of fun having all this snow over Christmas break. A couple days ago we all went sledding and it was an awesome day for it. Everyone had a blast!! Even Jeremy tested out the ramp he built!! Lol. Logan loved it too and went on the ramp about 20 times.

Christmas 2015

I did not take very good pictures on Christmas. I think I was just too "In the moment" with my kids and didn't really think about it as much as I usually do. Santa left a note with the stockings saying that "His" gifts were where they belonged and that they needed to go find them. So after opening our stockings we went on the hunt. Harper found her Dollhouse in her room! How did Santa do that? ;) Next the boys each found their gifts in the basement. Jordy got an indoor trampoline (Jeez Santa might have outdid himself this year or just pulled his back ;) ) and Logan got a Wii U. My parents and brother came over and we made pizza and played games and hung out. Very low key but nice.

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve I woke up to Logan yelling that it was snowing out. When I finally opened up my eyes I could not believe the size of snowflakes we were getting. They were huge!! It was probably the most magical snowfall I have seen and it happened on Christmas Eve. It was beautiful and lasted til mid afternoon. The kids were so excited and so was I.

Mikey our Elf visited for the last time this year

Cookie baking actual happened a couple days earlier but I just decided to add those pics to this post

Bath before church

I was only able to get a phone pic of the kiddos before Mass. Logan wasn't feeling that great and wasn't to thrilled about a picture

The Children were nestled all snug in their beds . . .

Colors of Christmas Contest

During the Holiday season, The Catholic Voice, which is a newspaper supported by the Archdiocese of Omaha, had a coloring contest depicting Christ's birth. The Contest was for kids in K-6th grade. They had more than 2500 applicants and Logan won 2nd place for the K-1 age division! We are so proud of our Logan!

Logan's Christmas Program

With Logan being in Kindergarten, he had his Christmas program in the evening with K-2nd grades. These pics are terrible but him and his class did wonderful and all looked so cute.

Visit with Santa

We visited Santa and each one of the kids LOVED him!!! No fear or tears what so ever! I have no idea what Harper said to him but Jordy asked for a trampoline and Logan wrote a letter to him before and wanted to read it to him. He asked for a Wii U.

Jordy's Christmas Program

So Jordy's Christmas program was on a Monday during school hours which meant that Logan wasn't able to be there. But I just LOVE the bond that these two have developed over the past 6 months since they are home together. Jordy got to be a Wise Man in his program and he was so excited about it. He did great!
