Ethel Ms Lights!!

We were all set to go see the lights, but when we got out to the car we smelled gas.  So Grandpa had to stay behind and wait for the gas company. 

Being MAC

We drug Mac around everywhere.  He is a trooper.

 And he loves the dogs :)

Christmas Art 2011

I love the stuff the kids make.  And I like that I can take pictures of it and then get rid of it- without the girls knowing I got rid of it.

Rudolf by Maissie

Santa by Jens

I think a raindeer would guide santa's sleigh the best because they fly  good with magic in the sleigh. Rudolf with his red nose Merry Christmas. Ho Ho Ho. Good by. Maissie Lemon. I Heart Santa

Jensyn's House

MJ's house

Jens elf

MJ's class studied how the world celebrates the holidays

MJ made an elf from scratch paper.

mmmmmmmmmmm Lemons

We transplanted our Lemon Trees to my parents house when we moved.  We were really nervous that they wouldn't make it- BUT they did.  As a matter a fact, they did the best they have ever done.

Christmas part 2

When we were done opening presents we packed up and headed to Henderson to have round two with the Hafens.  I was so happy because everyone (minus Evan) was there.

I asked MJ to pick a bag to put some presents in a bag

it was a long day, and someone just wanted Sam and his pjs

Mac knew just where he wanted to sit

My mom made everyone an apron from the blue bird flour bags.  I must say I am very impressed . . . and 

shocked

Sam and Dia gave the girls swimming suits.  I am pretty sure Jens wore hers every day, sometimes with panties.  They were a hit!

Christmas part one

We were really happy to be in our house for Christmas.  We had a delish Christmas Eve dinner by chef Mark- including turkey, stuffing, pie etc.

A small miracle- they girls slept together.  The longest they have ever  been that close together with out a major fight.
