December Life

Well, it seems December flew by faster than I could blink!! As is the norm for me, I have fallen very far behind on the blog so I am going to attempt to get it all caught up!! We had a fun and busy month so I will try to hit the highlights!! I am not promising everything will be in order. We took off to the mall one day to have some fun. Our neighbors also went with us. Here are Ian, Morgan and Sara waiting to ride the Christmas train in the mall. Notice Momo's Krispy Kreme hat, we stopped for donuts on the way to the mall. We just couldn't pass by the hot and now sign!!



Momo on the train ride....


...and Ian watching the world go by!!

All six of our kids piled into the caboose!! Even the big boys rode!


Kristen with her Krispie Kreme hat!



Just the girls being silly!( this is just a random pic at home one night)

While at the mall we went to see the big fish tank at Bass Pro Shop.

I just thought this made a cute picture....Morgan and Sara reading some fliers in the mall.....



I think I have taken a picture of my kids by this water fountain every year.



This was at the Christmas display in Bass Pro Shop. They had a nice set up.

This was the Santa's workshop part of their display.




After lunch and some shopping, we made one last stop to ride the carousel.
I was talking on the phone.....








Some more random pics, mostly taken by Kristen!!




A cute picture of Ian......he fell and hit his mouth a couple weeks ago and it has caused his front tooth to turn dark.....sigh. He was also in need of a haircut which he did get later on in the month.






The kids were playing next door one afternoon.....Kristen took these pics too.






They also made some cookies while they were next door.




The neighbors are in the process of digging a pond so the kids have had some fun playing in the "hole"









This is how Aaron found Ian sleeping one night!! He put the chair on top of the bed then climbed up and went to sleep!


More fun at the pond hole!


Ian is loving watching the equipment!!

The water is starting to fill in.




Morgan and Ian made new friends at Build A Bear Workshop for Morgan's friend, Avery's birthday party!! Ian made "Chocolate" the moose and Morgan made "Pandy" the panda bear.











The youth at church had their Christmas party and at one point a few of the kids provided some music entertainment for us!





The huge full moon!


Kristen caught Maggie in the middle of a yawn!!! She is so ferocious!!



That concludes this post....and finishes up through mid December!

Those are some great photos of your kiddos. I love the carousel ones. Of course I love carousels.
