St Patrick's Day

For Christmas, we got the kids gift cards to Top Golf. We were able to use them on St Patrick's Day, so we dressed in green, bought some chocolate gold coins and played golf.  It was fun and we have enough credit to go another time.  

 

Christmas Day

 

We got up at a leisurely 7:30 am. All the kids slept on the floor in the boys room.  It was really cute.  

Sam's Christmas consisted of a trumpet, two cheap Japanese flutes, and an anvil.  It's so fun to see his fun interests as he grows.

Seth wrapped the anvil. It was really heavy. It was so funny watching both him and Seth trying to position it.

Evelyn's favorite gift was Temmie.

Ada's getting singing lessons.

Daddy got trains.

Seth got mostly legos.  He was thrilled.

Our engineer had fun with the train and with building tunnels for it.

Jer made me a board to work on stained glass projects.  It was so nice of him.  My main present was a painting by my friend, Sabrina Squires.

Christmas breakfast.

Evelyn loves her diamond dots.

Lego time.

The cat thought that she had to be part of all this too.

The most thoughtful presents were from Ada.  She customized two magic cards for each of the family.  It was so cute.

Christmas Eve

 

Usually on Christmas Eve, we are with the Robertson's. Grandma just had surgery, and I had the tail end of a cold, so we did something else this year.  

We drove around to look at lights.

We made pinecone cake pops.  It was Ada's brain child and it was fun to do.

We watched movies, made cake and Uncle Seth painted the temple that Jordan printed for grandma.

Ada helped me run some last minute errands.

The downtown lights were still on when we were on our way home, so we stopped to "frolic".
