Mini Golf Time

We went to play mini golf during our break! We took one of Will's friends with us this time. We always have fun and I managed to get 4 hole-in-ones with one even being on the 18th hole - so I won a free round! Will not not pleased that his brother and I got holes-in-one but he got zero.

 

 

 

Merry Christmas

Santa came and the kids were so excited!  They were all up at 5 ready to go :D They all enjoyed their gifts and Jake and I enjoyed the day as well - getting to spend it together.  What a wonderful family day!

Christmas Eve

We got our cookies baked for Santa and got our story all ready!  We are ready for the man in red to visit!

 

 

Our Gingerbread House

I will never ever buy a kit where we have to assemble the dang house ourselves.  What a pain in the butt.  It took forever to get the walls to stay put!  Once it was done though, we had the kids have at it.  They did great and I *think* more candy got on the house than in their mouths.  Oh and Will managed to get his foot stuck in the  chair.  It took a while to get it out but Jake managed without breaking the chair or his foot.  Huzzah!

All done!

Finally visited with Santa!

Nothing like waiting until the last day! We hit up the Arb to see Santa as usual.  Will asked for a flying helicopter, Charlie asked for Hot Wheels and Carolyn asked for My Blazin Dragon.  They did great! I was bummed they didn't have the big poinsetta tree this year, but as usual, the Arb was decorated very nice.

 

 

 

Monster Jam!

Man it was cool!  We brought  earplugs because holy crow it was loud!  The kids loved the trucks and Charlie's favorite was the Hot Wheels one. Will and Carolyns was the Zombie one. It was fun to see this!
