Christmas Eve Bowling

Every year on Christmas Eve we go bowling as a family.  This year was the first time that all four of us were able to bowl.  Cole loved his first bowling experience.  He kept trying to take every ones turns.  This is definitely a tradition that we all look forward to every year and one that we will continue for many years to come.

 As you can tell from the scores, we only do this once a year.

Jingle Day 26

Jingle Day 24 & 25

Jingle showed up with a Candy Cane Garden.  He instructed the boys to pour the magical dirt (oatmeal) into the bowl.  Then they had to plan the seeds (peppermints) and fertilize (sprinkles).

 The next morning they woke up to find their candy canes had grown.

Our New Dishwasher

Crazy Hair

Trevor's school is having a Christmas spirit week.  Today they are to dress up in Christmas colors.  He didn't have many green and red clothes so we made his hair green and red instead.  He wanted it to look like a Christmas tree.  Of course Cole had to have his colored too.

TC's Christmas Car

Trevor drives around in this firetruck most of the day.  He now has it decorated for Christmas.  I think he is going to be a Shriner someday driving around in one of those small cars in a parade.

Jingle Breakfast Day 7

We woke up this morning to find that Jingle had made us a special breakfast.  The boys each got a new plate, bowl and cup.  He also let them a puzzle, color book, socks, and an ornament with candy in a Santa bucket.  Breakfast was Cocoa Krispies, donuts and hot cocoa.  We also found a gingerbread village kit to do as a family.  It was a fun breakfast and one we all enjoyed.
