Merry Christmas!!!
Grandma and Derrell gave the boys remote control laser helicopters that they played with for hours. They also got remote control cars from Santa. Layton's in next to him inthis picture:
Josh got a couple dirt bike helmets, a new robe, and some cologne:
We made pancakes for breakfast and then went outside for one final surprise...to be revealed later....
We actually had a white Christmas. Layton was really excited about that.
JoJo doesn't mind the snow at all. I don't think much of anything could keep him from checking on his chickens every day. Look at his precious little paw prints...
Layton was completely surprised to find a quad out in the barn just for him! He will need to practice a little to get the hang of the shifting but he took it out to the jumps and did great!
We have fresh eggs ALL THE TIME and we love it! We usually have way more than we can eat so we give a lot to our neighbors.
The boys took their remote control cars out in the backyard and raced them in the snow. And then of course they brought them back in the house all wet and muddy and put them on my kitchen floor. Man I love these boys!
Vance's mom's birthday is on Christmas Eve and she always celebrates it by making a seafood feast for all her family. This year, eveyone was too busy to come up on Christmas Eve so we celebrated on New Years Eve. Everyone went to the Cabin in Pinedale and had the big seafood feast and then we played games till 10 o'clock. It was a lot of fun.
Over teh Christmas Break, I did something I absolutely love to do but usually don't have time to do: I put together this puzzle that my friend Brenda gave me for my birthday. It was HARD!
One of the nights over the break, we played poker with candy instead of money. Josh had his friends, Loye and Brian, over to play too. Guess who won the whole jackpot???
Who has two thumbs and kicked some booty at poker? This girl!!! I won it all! Of course I put it all in a big bowl and everyone shared it. But lets not pretend we don't all know I secretly took out my favorites and hid them in my nightstand. That would be silly!
I made salsa over the break too. We love salsa around here.
For one of our family nights, we let the boys pick a board game and we played Clue. Vance always wins and this time was no different.
And one of my favorite pictures is this one of JoJo. He is such a good dog and so sweet and so smart. But not this day! He dug through the bathroom trash and then jumped into the tub with his muddy feet and then jumped out and took a little nap on the rug. He wasn't smart enought to leave the scene of the crime! You can even see his paw prints on the tub! I laughed out loud when I found him!
