Every year ben hands out the ornaments and the kids decorate the tree.

this year Christmas was at our house. course we sledding again and I did not get the camera out. I mostly stayed inside with lea while everyone went outside. my mom, which is starting to be so active, said she had a blast. so that was good. over all It was good to have my family together. My brother called a told us they have another boy they are going to foster, and maybe even adopt. He is a 10 month old. Blond hair and blue eyes. I told ben we should take him but he would not even consider it. He would fit right in. Now Eric has 6 boys and 1 girl. maybe I will take aleah and I'll have all the girls in the family and Eric can have all the boys!

Sam playing in the snow

It snowed in my bubble!

Today it snowed! so I called up season and had her family come over and play. Every one got a turn being pulled on the tube by the quad then we just went sledding and played in the snow. I have not had a good time in the snow for a long time. Nikki and julie did not last long. they got cold feet. but the rest of us stayed out a long time.

Julies 3rd Birthday

hey! I found out the problem!

Gary brought over his kids and they made igloos. this was my first attempt. It looks more like a top hat then a igloo.

Every year ben hands out the ornaments and the kids decorate the tree. our tree this yr is only 5.5 feet so I did not have to help with the top of the tree. And like always, we always get a clump of ornaments in the front of the tree.
