We had a great December. Here are the pictures to prove all the fun we had.
Link had to try on the Santa hat when we were putting up decorations.
We were hanging out at my parents house and Eisley discovered the Sit'n'Spin. It is now her new favorite toy. Corgin showed her how to use it and they played together on it for quite some time.
We also got to meet our new niece, Saydie. Here is Corgin holding her.
Link got a turn to hold her too.
Corgin and Link love to draw. One night when I went to bed I found this on the shelves by my bed.
Clint had one too.
In the morning, I found that Eisley had one as well in her room.
As did Linkoln. Corgin drew us all hearts with our initials in them. He can be so sweet.
The kids were very intrigued once presents started showing up under the tree.
Grandma Kristi did the 12 days of Christmas again this year. I think that one of the kids' favorites was the fort kit. Here they are enjoying it one day.
We also got to go to Corgin's kindergarten Christmas program. I tried a few times to upload a video of him, but it isn't working, but he was cracking us up. He knew all the words to every song, but he would not do any actions. We asked him why afterwards and he said he didn't want too. Also, he was doing all he could to not look at us and if he did we could see he was trying so hard not to smile. Later he told us that if he looked at us he started laughing, so he just wouldn't look at us. Anyway, he's the shorty on the second row between two girls in the black shirt, second from the right.
We managed to wear out Link a few times, but I had to get a picture of him sleeping with the seat belt across his face. Probably not very safe, but I wondered how he could sleep like that.
Time to go see Christmas lights. The kids are excited! Except Eisley, she was a little sleepy.
Getting ready for church. She had a cute red dress for the Sunday before Christmas.
And what's a picture without a brother trying to photo bomb?!
Here's Christmas Eve. I made the shirt, skirt, and hair bow for Eisley for our Christmas Eve festivities.
Christmas Eve jammies. The kids were pretty excited and were happy to pose silly when Grandma suggested it.
Santa came to visit. He even found us at Grandma and Grandpa's house. This is before the kids got to see it.
Link was still trying to wake up, but Corgin was excited about it. Again he was pulling his face when he is trying not to smile.
Going through stockings.

Eisley
Time to open presents!
The boys got Rock'em Sock'em Robots and love it. Eisley does too.
After opening gifts at Simonsons, it was off to my parents for more present opening. Somehow I managed to escape those festivities without any pictures (boo). But I did capture one of us at my Grandma Stander's house later Christmas Day. We were laughing about Eisley's little bum up in the air as she tried to get some toy out of the toy drawer. She eventually got it, but she fell in the drawer to do so.
We also made some nativities again this Christmas.
This is the one we made last year for Trisha and Danny. Clint cut out everything with his scroll saw and then we painted and glued them together. It took forever!
This is the one we made for Tanessa and Jake this year. Jacob had access to a laser cutter up at architecture school so he cut them all out for us, but we painted and glued them all, which still takes quite a few days. We also made one like this for Luke and Brianne this year. We really want one for us, but we always give them away.
Then after Christmas, we had some Christmas money and a lack of good judgement and bought us a puppy. His name is Olly.
He's called a Morkie, a Maltese and Yorkie mix.
And this is just a random picture of Eisley playing on her pillow that she got from Grandma Merri for Christmas. She looks so grown up here. I don't know when she went from being my baby to being such a big girl. Times goes by way too quickly!
And that folks, was how our December went! It was eventful and full of fun and great celebrations. Now bring on the New Year!!!
