A Few Snapshots...

The other day Jesse decided to pick out a movie...

Whoopsy!!

Last week our neighbors brought us this lovely creation they made...

Then our boys had at it...

Campout last night...

Last night we camped in the living room. This is Jesse's present we got him for Christmas.

It might take a couple years for him to learn how to build it, but he's got lots of brothers to help him out.

For more pictures and video, see dropshots. There is a cute video of Rachel feeding her new baby. Boy are girls sure different than boys!

Christmas

We have been enjoying our preparations and celebrations of Christmas. It is lots of fun this time of year with a house full of children. They are counting down the days and tomorrow is Christmas Eve! I think I'm just as excited as they are.

Last night we had our first annual Christmas program. I put some of the video on dropshots, and I'll put more up later. We had a great time and enjoyed having James' parents and our neighbors there to watch.

Our plans are to stay home all day on Christmas and James' parents will come around dinner time (their last stop). I'm sure the kids will be anxiously awaiting their arrival.

We've been doing regular school only three days a week in December. It has been nice. We had school two days this week and plan to do two days next. Hopefully it won't be too difficult to motivate them once they have other distractions like new toys. I'll post more after Christmas.

Our School Snack

Yesterday we made cut out cookies for our snack. They each got an equal amount of dough. It didn't look like much, but one of the kids was able to make nine cookies out of that dough. I loaded up some new pictures and video to dropshots. I took them on my new camera. It seems to work pretty well.
