Meowy Christmas!

That's what we had!!!

We've all missed Willie over the past year, but just hadn't taken the initiative to get a new cat, so Santa decided to change that. The kids were absolutely thrilled Christmas morning to find one last surprise awaiting them in the basement: their very own kitten!!! They were slightly bummed that he came with a name ("Maximus".....but Max & Maxi have stuck)....cause they wanted to name him "Fluffy" (precisely what Santa was hoping to avoid!)! Jed was a little afraid for the cats life, at first, cause he was so tiny.....but he's growing fast and puts up with the kids and all their shenanigans, just like Willie did :) He's just the kitty we needed....I couldn't have picked him better myself :)

Pookie enjoyed his first Christmas....or should I say his Christmas treats! The funniest thing was when he disappeared...only to be found enhaling the cookies Santa had left behind! He didn't mind the candy canes either :) Ty found a few more tractors this Christmas, Ella loved her running shoes (I may have a running partner!!!!) and the Girls were given a special handmade gift from Aunt Amy....the cutest matching skirts you ever did see!!!

Lights on the Lake



Last December, we came to this place for the first time, with Lara and Jeff, and it really got us into the holiday spirit....we loved it so much we had to come back again this year!!! Jed, Luke, and Grant enjoyed their first trip here...the trains were big for the boys! It's definitely become tradition! It has everything you could imagine, including the cutest little santa's gift shop, the best kettle corn, and about an hours wait to enjoy it all (if your lucky)!!!

(note to self: next year, go mid-week)
