Cheers to Thanksgiving 2014!




Can you tell we like red? We celebrated at my parent's farm. Jaxon was enjoying the nice weather with some basketball.




I think a kid took this photo. Hi Granny!


Wrestling Uncle D.


I think Jemma is saying, "Don't beat up my brother!"




Not sure who thought this was a good idea?


Bros


We are ready to eat! Time to sing the Doxology.




Our family friend, Bonita, joined us. Sorry you're so blurry Mom.


Apparently at some point Jaxon took my phone to do selfies. I'll only post a few.






A little night basketball with my boy burning off those Thanksgiving calories.


Playing Millionaire Monopoly.




Jemma getting ready to help with the puzzle.


Goodnight!

Thanksgiving Pie and Christmas Decorating

Jaxon 9, Jemma 3


We didn't have to travel on Thanksgiving day so we decorated for Christmas in the morning and made pumpkin pie which is Jaxon's favorite.

First we made the pie.


You can't make a pie without Jemma's B.






Yes I am double checking the recipe. I'm a recipe cooker.


Time to get up the tree.




She's doing a good job as over looker.


Where is mine?


The kids with their special ornaments from last year in Branson.


Time to decorate.






Putting on the star.












Putting up the magnetic nativity.




Time to put the magic key on the tree that will let Santa in since we don't have a fireplace.


Hurry up Santa!


Must have been tired from decorating so needed cuddle time with Daddy.

Christmas Card Photos

Jaxon 9, Jemma 3


At Thanksgiving, we decided to do something different and take our own Christmas card photos this year and use our filters to make them look good. It was actually a fun process to do with the kids and they helped us come up with the ideas.

Daddy and Jaxon were being naughty or Jemma?








We took a couple of different nice poses. Of course the girls are nice!










Jemma with J. We were spelling JOY.


















Photos telling about the kids. Obviously Jaxon picked football.
















Jemma of course chose her Anna and Elsa barbie dolls. Frozen forever!








When a 9 year old boy wants to take photos you go as long as he wants.
