Merry Christmas

My girls are growing up way too fast!!  This is before church on Christmas Eve. The girls and I performed with my Bell Choir "O Come, O Come Emmanuel".  Lauren played the wind chimes and Elise played the glockenspiel (no idea if I spelled that right)

Elise ~ 10 years old, 4th Grade

Lauren ~ 8 years old, 3rd Grade

Christmas with the Hubers- Minnesota 2014

Miss Kayley and Elise... these two have so much fun together.

Christmas in Minnesota

Well.. once again... I am way behind.. this blog isn't going so well but I post when I have a few free minutes.. which doesn't really seem to exist lately.  We had a great time in Minnesota at Dad and Lucy's for Christmas and the kids, as always had a blast.

This is my favorite photo of the kids this weekend... so funny!

I took the kids down to the park to burn off some energy. The kids had never been on a frozen pond so they thought that was pretty cool... even Dudley love it!

Lauren was "baking" for me.

Time to head home and warm up for the Christmas party at Aunt Louise's.

And of course Jack...

This is what we do after the kids go to bed.. play cards and drink beer!

This year we missed some people. Mollie and family couldn't be there, which was a big bummer for everyone.  Lauren came down with a fever the morning we were supposed to leave so Eric stayed home with her and Elise and I came down.  We usually see Steve King and John at this gathering and missed them too!

Christmas Morning ~ 2013

Elise's big scores.. she had all ready stashed her Lego Cruiseship in her room.. hmm where does she get that from???

Lauren is a happy girl.. Santa brought her a Barbie Dream House!!!

Dudley was a happy camper.. he attacked paper, shook bows, and got a bunch of toys from Santa too!
