Last but not least we had a great early Christmas present (the best present ever) this saturday. My sweet love came home about 1 o'clock in the morning and was able to stay all saturday. (He had to leave sunday early but it was the boost we all needed). I loved it. I'm grateful for my sweet husband and the hard worker he is and how he always thinks of us even when it takes him flying all day. Thanks Love, we loved having you even for just a day.

Making Christmas cookies is not as fun without at least one little helper.
He sure was having fun.

He is so sweet.

I'm so grateful for helpers.

( You may have to take my word for this one also). Madison and Landon had an awesome orchastra Christmas concert on friday. They did an amazing job. I loved listening to all of the Christmas music that they have been prepareing.

We have had hours of endless enjoyment this last week.
Right in our very own front yard.

Be jealous!

Lots and lots of trucks and tractors of every sort right out our front window.

Pressurized irrigation is being put in every ones front yard.

I'm thankful I have "a camera". I'm thankful I have "a camera". I'm thankful I have "a camera".
Not exactly the picture I wanted. But I'm thankful I have a camera of sorts. (Smile)


Trenton, Brooklon, and Maron tried out for a play at school last week (Beauty is a Beast). Trenton made it to the call back list. You can't really see his name very well under the Scribe roll. (You'll just have to take my word for it). We are so excited for him.

Wednesday at school there was a Knighting Ceremony. (Brooklon)
There was a little jousting with swimming noodles. (Brooklon)

Mr. Wendling dressed up as a Knight.

Christian we miss you! Doing all of our family traditions aren't quite as fun without all of our family.
Christian usually does the frosting/glueing of the house. The kids kept saying "Mom you can do this".

I'm not sure how much candy actually made it to the house. I tried to take pictures of Jordon. (I miss my camera) Madisons camera has a small delay between pictures and it misses the actual picture I'm trying to take. Jordon was more interested in seeing how many gum balls he could cram in his mouth without me noticeing.

Before shots.

Winner!
Trenton had a wrestling match the other day. I don't usually enjoy going to these because I hate the idea of it being "O.K." to fight. I also hate when as a mother I have to sit and watch sometimes someone beating up on my son. I just want to run out and save him. (I really miss my sweet Christian being here)

Trenton did a GREAT JOB!

This time it wasn't quite so traumatic. Trenton actually won with a score of 15 to 1.

Trenton is a great wrestler and I was glad I got to be with him.

We started off our holiday fun with making orange snowmen and marshmallow snowmen.
