New Years Part-ey!

We drove down to spend New Years Eve with family. The kids played games, mostly Whacky Six, did the early countdown, poppers, and the Sprite cheer. They were so excited for the countdown, it was cute. They were out by 10!









 The next day we went to the church for the annual nerf gun fight. They LOVED it!






























 Note Makayla in this sequence. She was so proud of herself for capturing the bunny!


















December Randoms

Our fuzzy duck. I get comments on the daily about his awesome hair. We just love his soft fuzzy head!
 We took the kids to see Ferdinand during the break. We got the super comfy chairs and they loved the movie. Graham even did pretty well!


 It was the season for haircuts
Grahams new do

 My new hair color
 and we shaved Millie (that was not even all of it!)
 Catboy!

 We have played lots of games this week, including lots of spoons!
 Levi is such a good big brother. Doggie pile of big brother!!!!
 He is traveling everywhere these days. He scoots his way around!

 Graham patiently waiting for mom to be done with dinner.

 Makayla said she was thankful for "Doing the dishes." Uhhhh.....
 Our neighbor gift this year!
 We went to an ugly sweater party this year with some ward friends and neighbors. It ended up being a lot of fun!

 Another soccer game selfie:)
 Set up the bunk beds we got from the Hills and moved Makayla temporarily into Graham's room. Her and Nate had too much fun at night!
 Our stash all ready for delivery. The kids love dropping them off and would fight on who got to go to the door.
 This squirmy worm
 Makayla was crying and Nate just joined in for fun. It was so funny. When I asked if he wanted to be happy he snapped right out of it and started smiling. Oh these two!!!!





 My homeade ornament this year

 Dancing at a wedding reception




 Getting his crawl on. He almost has it!!!
 Burkholder family Christmas party. Besides getting hung up at a soccer game and some nasty nasty roads, it was nice to get there and spend time with family. The kids loved their book from Bada, we played some fun Kahoot games, and ate some good food. We love our families!




 We had the challenge one Sunday to give and get a gift. We were challenged to all do 20 minutes of indexing. I was working on it and the boys were interested. Zack would help me read and Levi actually would do a page, and then I would check it. It was fun to do that with my boys.
 TOES!!!!


 Our first tiny snow and the kids were out right away with shovels. They are excited at first!

 We took the kids to a church gym over break and let them get some wiggles out. Daddy gave the boys a little bball lesson as well. It is something we love to do over the winter months.








 My favorite neighbor gift this year
 I love the boys being home and having no responsibilities. They played and played in their jammies for the week, with an occasional outing. It was an amazing break!!!
