New Years Eve 2013

We're probably not going to do anything extravagant on New Years Eve.  We'll have "movie night," where I'll make a lot of pop corn and I'll make the kids milk shakes, but on this day Luke made a cute tall pillow chair:

Luke got that Bow and Arrow for Christmas- he loves it

Unfortunately Amy couldn't join in Christmas Eve and Grandma's and Grandpa's.  Here are the pictures and videos.  Starts with the kids making cookies at our house, then Luke at his school's performance, then Nick and RoseAnn's house.

December 23, 2013

Very busy day today.  Took the kids to go buy Amy her Christmas gifts, then we went to lunch, they I got the Krispy Kreme, then I came home and made 3 different kind's of cookies for Christmas (Amy already made 2 different kinds), then applied to 2 positions. 

These are 3 of the cookies I'm bringing tomorrow.

Luke chilling on the new couch.

Dinner With The Boys

Today was the last day of school for the boys - they're now on Christmas break.  Amy was out shopping after work and I took them for pizza.

Making Christmas Cookes 2013

Amy and the boys are making Christmas Cookies...

While they were making the cookies, Luke got his first call from a friend to come over.  Amy and I have no idea who this kid is or where he lives.  Luke just said, "Ok, 4:00."   We have to find out who this kid is now, where he lives, and if his parents know he called Luke.

Now frosting the cookies-- finishes with a view of the Christmas tree.

Cookies with Santa- Cannon Mac Elimentary Scool

Every year the elimentary school does "Cookies with Santa."  Adam and Justin used to go every year-- here are pics of Luke there--- following is a video of Luke with Santa.

Happy Luke

Cookies with Santa at School

Cookies with Santa at School- every year Cannon Mac Elimentary school does "Cookies with Santa."  Last year there were a lot of kids there--- this year not as many, but still a nice group came.  Luke had a good time.  Here is a video with Santa.

Christmas 2014

Here are some videos of us putting the Christmas Tree up.  We went to the early service at church and here is what the rest of the day looked like.

This is the mess in the beginning-- this was around 10:30 am

Luke wanted to play outside so we bribed Adam and Justin to go out with him-- Luke ending up going to a friends house behind us and Adam and Justin did goofy things by themselves.  The day progressed kind of like Thanksgiving did.  See all the snow we got?

Putting up the decorations.

More decorations

And more decorations

A silly Christmas greeting-- Luke was being a HUGE brat- he got kicked out of the production.  As a matter of fact, at this very moment he's at the bottom of the basement steps!

Luke's Birthday

Here's a video of Luke opening one of his presents from his birthday in August- I never put it on.

Thanksgiving 2013

Here are our pictures of yesterday's Thanksgiving.  Nice day, no running around, would have been nice if Grandma and Grandpa were here!

Adam, Justin, and Luke played outside for quite a while and it was COLD, then relaxed indoors then the dinner.

Adam in into his bike all of a sudden--He's working on his bike here and Justin and Luke are playing in the snow.

Luke loves eating snow.

Luke LOVES being outside.

I set the timer on the camera, and I set it to take 10 pictures-- I told everyone to take one nice one and some silly ones- here are a few.

Amy Just smiles!

A little crazy
