Cousin Nate's 4th Birthday Party

Nathan turned 4 years old on January 7th. He had an awesome bowling party. This was the first time for all three kids and they loved it so much. Sadie keeps saying that's just what she wants to do for her birthday

NYE 2016

We spent New Years Eve at our friends Dave and Desiree's house. The kids had fun with all their friends while we enjoyed some adult time.

Christmas Break

The kids had Christmas break from the 23rd to January 9th. It was so nice to not get up and get ready for school every morning but I did miss the quite in the mornings. We headed up to Arrowhead for a couple days after Christmas. We had lots of snow to play in!! 

 so much that Ryan had to dig up a path just so we could get into the cabin 

 Sadie has been wanting to cut her hair for awhile now but daddy can't let go of her long hair. Well, we finally convinced him to let us do a "big" trim. I cut about 6 inches off. Sadie loves her new cut 

Merry Christmas 2016

Christmas flew by this year. The kids had school until the 23rd so they only had a couple days off before the big day. The kids were so hyped up and excited for Christmas to come. They slept in until 6:45 so that was a treat for us

 we let them open their stockings before amma and ampa woke up 

 they loved the Santa sack idea....we are definitely keeping this one going 

 the kids homemade gifts were amazing this year
