Merry Christmas

We have had snow in Abilene for a week straight. This is the first time since we moved here 9 years ago. The kids have had so much fun playing in the snow. Once again the Family from Utah provides all the hats,gloves,suits to play in the snow. I made my kids wear the Santa hats. This is our Christmas card since I didn't get to one this year. Merry Christmas

Grandma Gifts. thank you

Kitty in the Couch

So we went to bed Christmas Eve not knowing where our cat Oreo was at. I thought she was in her bed and Savannah thought she was next door visiting her mamma. The next morning we still couldn't find her. We decided to wait until it got light outside and look. we started to open our presents and we hear a muffled "Meow". we couldn't find where it was coming from. Suddenly Casin jumps off the couch and yell, "She's in the couch I felt her." What? Well we pulled the cushions off the couch and low and behold a hole. Suddenly a head pops out. We all turn to Carson, "Buddy what did you do?" He claims that she got in there herself. he didn't do anything. He told us last night he put her in the couch behind the cushions but not in the couch. So Oreo spent the night in our leather couch! Oh I just love boys and their wild ideas. So, does this warrant a new couch? I sure hope so!

Making Cookies for Santa

We had a Christmas Eve party with some friends from the neighborhood. We got to cut out and bake and frost Cookies for Santa. Eli and I made the best cookies for Santa.

The Shirt Says it all!

What can I say the package came it was addressed to ME from Grandma Thorsted

What can I say? Well lets just remind you all that I was the one who officially said Mom did and since I haven't seen proof from anyone else I guess this is Moms way of telling you all who is exactly her favorite. LOL!

Thanksgiving at the Barn

Zack, Maylin, Skyler
My good friend Sharlene let us use her barn for our Thanksgiving dinner since we had 30 people to feed and I didn't have a room big enough for us all to eat at. The kids had a blast and it was fun doing something different.
