Christmas Day

We had some pretty excited kids this morning.

The boys each got an IPod Touch.

Faith got her "Real Puppy Gog with a Handle."

I think Hope liked the cookies in her stocking better than anything else.

The kids had to solve a puzzle for their big Christmas gift. They figured out that they are going on a Disney Cruise in February.

And then they got to open more presents after church.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve

We were with all the Field cousins for Christmas this year. On Christmas Eve, they all made and decorated cookies for Santa.

On the Road Again

After breakfast with cousins and Grandpa Tom at Jeremiah's, these kids were ready for the drive to Idaho.

This is what they looked like for almost four hours.

Spencer's 11!

Here are pictures from Spencer's birthday dinner, spaghetti.

This is his Harry Potter cake. I ran out of time, so I just put his LEGO Harry Potter Knight Bus on an Oreo road.

The kids were so excited to get dancin' with Spencer's new Just Dance 3.

Every year Spencer turns another year older, I still marvel at his life and what he's taught me about miracles. I love Spencer's:

smile

sense of humor

Just Dance moves

willingness to help me with the girls when I need him

persistence in his school work

LEGO skills

love of Harry Potter

way that he's blessed our lives.

Happy Birthday, Spencer!! We love you!

Get Air

Spencer chose to go to the new Chipmunks movie for his birthday today. Well, we all agreed that they made one Chipmunks movie too many, and headed to a trampoline place called Get Air.

It was awesome. They loved playing dodge ball and basket ball and jumping all over the place.

Even Hope loved it.

Faith used this trampoline as a slide.

Christmas Came Early

We celebrated Christmas with my family tonight since we'll be in Idaho for Christmas. We played some Minute-to-Win It games.

Throwing marshmallows in Spencer's mouth.

We opened pajamas and presents.

30 Minutes of Preschool

Faith experienced her first preschool today when she went to her cousin Megan's junior high preschool they sponsored for about thirty minutes. It was the funniest little preschool with about four kids and twenty instructors. They made snowmen out of playdough...

and snowflakes out of coffee filters.

I was laughing when "Santa" came to visit their preschool. Yes, that's a girl playing the role of the fat jolly man. I asked Megan why they didn't get a boy to be Santa, and she said that none of the boys could fit into the Santa suit.
