The Christmas Train

We took a ride on the Christmas train a few days after Christmas. It takes you to a town called Banks that is just on the tree line into the forest. It snowed the whole time and was beautiful. God's creation is amazing and he gives it to us, the sinners we are to enjoy. 

We took along a few family members and I think that the adults enjoyed it more then the kids. 
Me and my baby boy!
This is the picture perfect family don't you think?
This is my nephew Adam and Quinton who could not wait to get on that train, little boys and trains, they love them more then anything in the whole world. 

The Day After

The day after Christmas is always a quite day when the kids can just play with the new things they have and Mom and Dad can spend the day reading and watching movies. This is the day that I love. Nothing schedule and no one to entertain. 

Henry has a new Dr. kit that all of the kids have spent hours playing with. $15 and already paid off. He looks so cute in his Dr. glasses, Dr. Hank

Lauren wanted an American doll SOOOO bad, she has been looking at the magazines for months and dreaming. She wanted the one with cowgirl boots, blonde hair and the little dog. We found that doll at Costco for $14 and she has no idea that it is not an "American Doll" she loves it just the same!

Chirstmas

Where in the dog, after a very active Christmas morning Kiara settled in for for nice afternoon nap. 

The Kids had a wonderful Christmas and got everything they wished for. We did not have a whole lot to spend this year and were feeling kind of bad but Santa knew how good they were and pulled through. We are truly blessed in so many ways. 

I love this family! They are always so much fun to be around. Jason and I have the gift that keeps on giving all year, that is the life we have made, the love we have fore each other and the pure enjoyment we get raising our children. 
These are the best kids any one could ask for - Love you guys!

Let it Snow!

Good friends and good times are what make life worth living! We spent the day sledding with the boys and girl, they loved every minute.
This is one of my favorite people and her little darlings.......

And you can't forget the homemade Christmas cookies and with lots of colorful frosting!

These cookies were real works of art, don't be afraid to eat Henry's you can quickly pick his out, they all have a bite out of them.

Waiting for Santa

It was the perfect weekend, we decorated the christmas tree .........


And played in the SNOW!!!!!!!

Portland

We spent the weekend in Portland and had a great time. We took the kids to Omsi, the science museum and spent most of the day.


Henry was not interested in the Submarine tour so Jason and him spent some quality time outside.
We also were able to go to the Zoo at night for ZOO LIGHTS, it was amazing! They have the entire zoo covered in thousands of lights.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was very quiet this year but it was nice. Jason finished the stairs and they look beautiful, Alysha spent three days fighting with her boyfriend, Lauren and Henry helped me put out the Christmas stuff and Quinton spent his time in the toilet puking. Everything is just about normal around here. I am thankful for my beautiful and totally disfunction family.
