My daughter likes playing with toy swords.  Today she got my nephew involved.  They had loud music playing and were fighting in a dramatic, twirling/rolling/jumping fashion.

I finally got the table runner finished, just in time for my mom's birthday.

My oldest got this ceramic tree for me.  He did a good job picking it out.  It looks good with my two ceramic snowmen.

My brother still enjoys Legos too.

This is one of the pictures I took for our Christmas card this year.  The kids enjoyed pretending to camp at the North Pole.  Once I was done, they took the frozen root beer into the house and grated it up to make slushies.

I've started getting small Lego sets to put together at Christmas.  It's fun to do, though I have to fight off the children from doing them for me.  This year I made the large snowman, two people on an ice rink, and a small train.

More work on the barn doors.

My front yard looks so different with that tree (mostly) gone.  We'll pull the stump out later.  I'll have to find another tree to plant there.

December 9, 2014

My son got the Lego train going around the tree today.

December 8, 2014

I have a lot more ornaments than room on my tree, so not all of them get on the tree.

The kids put the tree up today and decorated it.

We started putting up the inflatables today.
