Snow!

For the last few years, snow has been very limited in December for us, but it has hit pretty hard in January and February.  2020 was no different.  



Our little snowman.


Sledding fun!


Random Phone Pictures

Here are some random pictures from my phone.  The boys like having their picture taken, so we have quite a few of them on our phones.  

Apparently there was an epic car battle that was about to happen at our house.

Goggles for floor hockey.

I am not sure what Tony was doing here, but he looks cool!
I was going through old close and getting ready to donate thing.  This is the closest that I will ever get to having a child wear my old prom dress. :)




Woody and Buzz!  We love Toy Story!

New Years Eve!

Having kids has certainly changed how we celebrate New Years Eve, but that does not mean it can't still be fun!  We rang in 2020 at our friends house with an early celebration for the kids.  Melissa is a great cook, who always spoils us with her cooking!  This was the year that we let the big kids stay up until midnight as well.  They successfully made it, which made us make it to midnight too. :)  Little did we know at the time what 2020 had in store for us.  Hopefully 2021 will be smoother sailing.

Christmas Day

Christmas morning we woke up and opened presents from Santa right away.  We made some breakfast and then Nick and I had one more gift to the boys.  We bought them a PS4 which is what they have been wanting for a long time!  They were so excited.  After nap time Ralph, Jan, and Chris came over for Christmas dinner.  It was 57 degrees outside, so we ended up playing outside for a while too!

"This is the best day of my life!"


 Steak and Chicken on the Grill
 A little football



 It was so nice out!


 Documentation of Nick's perfect steak!
 Crab legs too

Christmas Eve

Christmas number two!  We made Christmas cookies when we got home for Santa.  They decorated the cookies the next morning and went a little overboard with the sprinkles.  For Christmas Eve we went to Nick's cousins house for a little while and then come home for dinner.  We opened presents, ate dinner, and then went to church.  It was a great night!












The boys picked out the jammies this year :)
