December Re-cap

Ugh.....December. I love this time of the year, but I wish I had the time to enjoy it. We have been finishing a room in the basement for the boys and its amazing what a mess one room construction makes in the rest of the house! Also with working full time, a husband that works an opposite shift full time, 2 out of 3 children born in this month therefore we had 2 birthday parties, numorous Family and Friend parties, Shopping trips, Last minute shopping Trips, Dance classes and Recitals, My Dad's birthday oh and did I mention Christmas Eve and Christmas Day? I have had no time to relax. I was sooooooo tired on Christmas Eve....someone almost forgot to pay a visit to our house...(if you know what I mean). So here are the things that have been happening since I last blogged.







December 15th - Hannah's dance recital at Clearfield High. Here she is with Grandma Wanna before the show.

Dancing on the stage.
With her friend Mckenna.

December 16 - Noah's 11th Birthday Party. 11 crazy boys in my house. AAAAHHHHH. We were supposed to take them to Krispe Kreme but the weather was bad that night so Ron bought donuts (and hats) and we had the party at home. We ran out of things to do so they sang Christmas carols to the neighbors and played Nerf gun games in the snow. Coats optional. I hope no one went home sick!

December 19 -Friend Christmas Party. We try to get together with our friends from our old neighborhood every Christmas. We miss them and it's amazing how fast their kids are growing. The kids played games and made gingerbread houses and we exchanged white elephants. This is the hit of the party. I won't show those pictures though, the gifts get naughtier every year!!!

December 20 AM - Hannah's #5 Birthday Party. Oh my baby is no longer a baby. She loves her some Troy from High School Musical so this was the theme for her party. We colored microphones, then the kids sang and danced to HSM songs. We played Troy, Troy, Gabriella - our version of Duck, Duck, Goose, and had a HSM pinata.

Don't they looked thrilled to be singing and dancing? Zac and Mckenna didn't want to join in the fun.

December 20 PM - Grange kids party - same day as Hannah's B-day party. We have 2 Grange parties every year. One for the kids with Santa and one for just the adults. There we also exchange white elephants and they are pretty funny too. I didn't take any pictures this year at that party.

Christmas Eve we go to my mom's. I forgot the camera!!! This is opening presents on Christmas morning. After we got done at our house we went to the Flints, then on to my dad and step-moms. I am lucky to have family so close. The kids had a great Christmas! Spoiled!







Ron's new stereo.

I had more pictures on this, but as I try to add text, some of the photos get deleated and I don't know how to add them back where they go. UGH! So now I am really tired, a little annoyed and need to go clean the dishes. Goodnight!!!
