Hayden decorated most of the tree by herself. Steve spent 4 hours checking each light bulb on the 6 strands of lights that weren't working and had as much fun as he could stand before the decorating part even began, Hunter found other things to do, Gage's attention span was that of a 6 year old, and Tate was not as much help as you might think. :) Great job Hayd!!!
Tate was fascinated that he could see himself in the glass balls. (Although in this picture, he just looks fascinated with Esmerelda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.)
We got this year's gingerbread house done.
We made Christmas cookies...a few times throughout the month.
We got spoiled at Grandma and Grandpa's!
Hayden is Team Edward and Madi is Team Jacob! Yikes!
Gage and Jace added some much needed equipment to their farms!
And Hunter was pleased with a Derek Jeter Fathead.
But still made time to be silly. (I always knew he was hard headed. Now I have proof!)
lAnd Christmas morning...
He got the jersey to match the Fathead
and a picture collage of the hunting club they go to in Utah. (I "borrowed" his iPod while he was at school and created it. He had taken these himself when they went hunting in September of 2011.)
Hayden got the Bieb doll from her dad! So cool!
Gage got the Lego Train Station. (Santa thought it would be fun if Mom and Dad got the actual Lego train set for his birthday in May until he checked the price of them...YiKeS!!)
And Tate would have been completely content with the first gift he opened no matter what it was. It took him a good part of the day to take it all in!
fEach of the boys got a mini hoop of their own. When it was time to leave for church, Tate "hid" and was not about to leave that ball and hoop!
It was a great holiday season and I was very happy to have the kids home for a week!
