Well they were wrestling.

Then Leo got tired and started looking at presents under the tree.

Katie had just gotten done watching a home Christmas video from 2009.

And I have painted my nails.

I will say it again, not much happenings around here.

10:30

Hugh and the kids putting together some sort of hunting table for my Dad. Even though my Dad is not here. The kids sure did have fun ripping it all open. They are now assembling it.

Mom and I had to make our daily trip to Wal-Mart. Hugh wanted chips and Coke and we needed to stock up on milk so we don't run out before Monday.

While unwrapping the thing for my Dad, Hugh was cooking his breakfast.

See, there really is just not that much going on.

Count down to Christmas!!! 2011

I think I have made this tradition so I am going to keep it up. Here will be our events through out the day counting down till Christmas. For those of you keeping up with this you will get the first look of what I have been working for my kids. But that picture won't come until tonight after kids go to bed.

Here's the happenings so far this morning. BREAKFAST! Consisted of Oat meal.

Katie didn't really want the picture taken but I got her to turn around anyway.

Simon eating. Leo insisted on being in both pictures.

Keldon was getting ready to walk out the door on his way to work. So that's the last you will see of him today.

There's not really much going on for us today. We did do a fun thing yesterday. I got to take Katie Ice Skating for the first time. She did REALLY good for it being her first time. It was full of falls for her but she wold just laugh and get right back up. Only twice did it hurt enough to cry. And the first one was REALLY hard. I think the second time she cried it was on the same spot as before. But she refused to stop and rest. I am so proud of her. I will post the video some other time. I only fell once and it was to keep from running Katie over after she fell, and of course it was caught on the only video taken.

So I have basically been MIA for a while. Aside from the pictures I just posted. Well so you know, I am still alive. I have been busy with Christmas preparations. I am just about all done with my business. I have a few last min. touches to do. But for the most part I am done and can now relax until the big day. Many pictures to come after Christmas. I would put them on now but I fear m children would see them on here before then. So you all have to wait too.

Simon pointing to the branch he put all the ornaments on.

Kids with the tree after they decorated it.

Katie likes my new Kindle Fire. I love it too!!!

Katie helping make treats. I love how she is sticking her tongue out.

First snow of the year!

Simon was cold but had fun.

Katie was making a big snowball.

Leo was attacking the snow that was falling.

I went to wal-mart and my windshield was all clean when I got home. About 30 min. later I wanted to see how much snow had collected on my car and this is what I saw!

Then I realized the snow had fallen perfectly from the top of my car to the windshield.

Holy Huge Crop Batman!!

This is the last of it just before the plants got pulled up.

There are 2 dark green things on top, those are the bell peppers.
