Christmas Eve

Ready to open their Christmas Eve presents.

Doug got one too this year!

New jammies! Such a surprise!

Playing Hearts

Ashlee made cookies and frosting so we could decorate.

After a delicious dinner, cooked by the moms, the kids cleaned up dinner! Jackson did all the dishes!

Then we gathered around to open presents.

Konrad had a huge one! It was Diet Mt. Dew.

Then we read the Christmas story and sang songs.

Glooooooooooria

The kids performed their piano songs. Jack and Alli played a duet.

Jackson also played Jingle Jangle.

Jordan played his song.

Kimber played too.

And so did Sam.

Grandpa pulled out his guitar and JJ played it.

Then we did the piñata. Cam was first.

Coleman was next.

Then Kenzie.

Jordan wanted to hit it on his knees because it was so low.

He broke it!

After repairing it, Jackson had a turn.

And Alli

Then Sam

Sibling love

JJ's turn. Kimber opted to not have a turn.

Konrad wanted a turn too.

And Doug. He got so dizzy after just a couple spins.

It was such a fun day! We love Christmas Eve!

Gingerbread Houses

We went to Ashlee's house to decorate gingerbread houses. Sam, Kimber, and JJ were all there for Christmas break, It was fun to see them again :)

I got good at picking up the bunny and carried her downstairs.

Coleman and I played many games of the Farming Game.

We celebrated Alli's 16th birthday!

Jordan brought his work to Flying Circus.

Kenzie was able to hold Snickers too!

Kenzie and I taught preschool for a week. It was fun but tiring!

The preschoolers always love her!

Doug took these two to the Seahawks game! They had so much fun even though the Seahawks lost.

Kenzie's obsessed with horses and made this cute stable for her horse.

There's a new slide at Flying Circus and it was finally open. Kenzie loved it!

Jordan did too.

Coleman did not. He only rode it once, and that was enough.

Jackson also loved it.

Jackson's band started practicing again. Tom, Logan, Neil, Jackson

Kenzie played volleyball for 2 games and one practice. Her other practices she had a soccer practice, her arm hurt from her covid shot, and then we were out of town and she broke her arm. She loved it while she played though. She knew all the girls but one before the season started.

Dessert at Ashlee's.

Kenzie's Christmas list.

A beautiful rainbow.

These three played the piano together.

Kenzie earned getting her nails done. She loved them!

Kenzie fidget Christmas list that she wrote with her left hand soon after we got home from Arizona. She recently rewrote it and her left handed hand writing has improved a lot.

Jackson's band played at our ward Christmas party. They did so good. It was fun to watch them play!
