Christmas Post

We had Max for an entire week and we loved it. We did as many family activities as we could. We had a great Christmas and a fun week. We played outside watched movies and even went to Jumpin' ( a big place with lots of big bouncy things and slides). Here are jsut a couple of pictures of all of our fun. The picture above was actually taken a few months ago but it fit this Christmas post just right so I put it in.

We went down to see Jack and Ty and have dinner and lots of fun!

The boys enjoyed decorating the tree.

It took awhile but we finally persuaded Kieran that he could go in the big pile of snow. He didin't really like it after he fell face first. Poor thing ended up going inside.

Max made a big hole for himself. He probably sat in there for about 15 minutes until I told it was time to go inside.

This is me helping the kids with some of the yummy treats from their stockings.

Max and Kieran are opening up Max's gift from Santa - night vision binoculars. The binoculars are really neat. We played hide and seek in the basement with them in total darkness. It was fun and also a little wierd to see in the dark. Our depth perception goes off kilter a bit using infrared and it was hard not to run into things that seemed a bit further away than they actually were. Grandma even hid for one of our hide and seek games.

Grandma is helping Rowan open his hat and gloves.

Here is Rowan dancing to his new cute little dog.

Here are the boys making crayons! It took me awhile to find this crayon maker - in fact Kassiah, my sister in law, found it in Helena, MT and sent to me. We have made a few batches of crayons already and love it. It is neat to see what colors we can make.

All Christmas Day and the day after Kieran wore this hammer in his belt loops and hammerred things everywhere we went. It is pretty cute watching him put in there. He wore it to the bowling alley and to Target.

The boys are wearing there bowling shoes. Pretty cute!

Aunt Kira and Cousin Ryan came to have fun too. Aunt Kira just played with Rowan which was such a great help.

Dad is helping Kieran push his ball and knock down some pins! Kieran had a great time bowling and didn't want to leave when it was time.

Rowan ate cookies while we bowled.

Max is cutting the ends off of beans. This is how he helped to make Christmas dinner.

Kira holding all of the boys on her lap - didn't last long.

Dad has a new breakfast partner. Rowan has taken over Kieran's post as mooch.

Rowan has enjoyed playing with Dad's shoes this entire week!

Kieran and Dad reading books on Kieran's bed. What a moment.
