Merry Christmas!

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! We have had a very busy December and I wanted to share with you some of our fun events.

Decorating for Christmas

Ko-ko


My mom's birthday was on December 7th. I loved her train cake!

At Kory's family Christmas party. His sister is reading "The Night Before Christmas" I loved how Skylar is so intent on the story she has her mouth wide open! Hee Hee!
Getting ready for the Christmas Parade. Before the kids get to open their presents they march around the gym following Grandma. It is so cute to watch them all march around. Grandma loves it, and so do the kids!
Holland asleep at the party. He was not feeling well and I was so glad my niece was able to get him to sleep, unfortunately it didn't last long.
I loved this picture because it captures the madness that happens when all the kids open their presents. Kory's mom and dad give gifts to all the Grandkids and great Grandkids. They say 1, 2, 3 - go. Everyone starts opening presents! Those not opening presents take pictures. It is total chaos for about 10 minutes.
Holland just discovered the fun of a laundry basket.
On top of all the fun, we have also been sick. We have had pink eye, colds, and the flu. We are trying very hard to get better!
We are excited for Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year!

Happy Sinterklass Day!

Today is St. Nicolaas' Birthday. Kory's Grandma came to the states from the Netherlands and so every year we celebrate "Dutch Christmas" or Sinterklass Day. Hope you all have a great day!

Cure for a Bad day!

If this doesn't make you smile, nothing will!

Random

Some random things I have been thinking about....

I need some ideas of good books to read. My book club is choosing books for next year in a couple of weeks and I don't have any ideas of what to suggest.

I need some ideas for neighbor gifts. I don't want to spend a lot of time or money.

Holland is getting ready to crawl. The last couple of days he is getting up on his hands and knees and rocking. I hope he doesn't start until after Christmas, so I can take my tree down first. He already rolls over to it and pulls on the bottom branches.

You may be wondering what this is a picture of. It is just ONE of the clumps of hair that Kortnie decided to cut from her hair - of course the day before family pictures!
