New Year's Eve 2015

New Year's Eve was spent with friends, fireworks, and fun!  Riley was very popular among the kiddos!  Such great little babysitters!  We all made it to midnight!  Even Riley!  Jordan talked the entire way home saying she wasn't tired, but everyone crashed when our heads hit the pillow!  Adios 2015!  Thanks for a great year!
Happy New Year!


Ice Skating!!

We love the ice skating rink each year and are so lucky to have it close by!  It should be permanent next year in the new location!!!  We went skating with Boone and Natalie after Christmas!  Taylor started off with the walker but soon ditched it and went off without any assistance!  Jordan likes the walker or Daddy so she can go faster!  Everyone had fun!  











Our Little Family Christmas

We enjoyed making cookies, putting together gingerbread houses, watching our elf (who didn't move as much this year), decorating, watching the lights, shopping, and wrapping this season!  Matt, the girls, and I enjoyed our family Christmas this year on Christmas morning!  We had breakfast, opened presents, played, then packed up and headed to the lake for the Wilcox Family Christmas.  Santa was good to us all....and Matt got me a new racing bike...that I didn't ask for, or want!  It was a joke, and a good one!  I tried to be gracious, but I have very little interest in actually participating in a triathlon!  He really got a me a new computer!  The girls got My Little Pony and Shopkins!  Santa brought them new golf clubs, bow and arrow, dart board, and a new high chair!  Great Christmas season! 


 I've framed every Santa picture in ornament frames and we place them on the tree each year!  Some of my very favorite ornaments to hang on the tree!  












 Taylor had fever and an awful sounding cough the day of her class Christmas party, but she wanted to go anyway so I sent her!  When I arrived she looked sick and sounded sick!  She came home early with me and didn't return for the next day!  Her FIRST EVER absence!  She was bummed, but all she missed was a movie and hot chocolate!



 Santa has come and gone!

 My new bike...that was a joke, thank goodness!











The girls had some rough days a few times this season!  Marvin noticed and warned them to behave so Santa could come see them...and it worked!
