Merry Christmas 2010

This is the kids Christmas picture

We had a fun time Celebrating the holidays this year. Christmas Eve we spent with Davids Parents and went to their candle light service at church. Then we went home and shared a big pot of soup and the nativity story. The next morning we just stayed home and enjoyed our little family with some gifts and a big breakfast. The kids are at such fun ages. We got out some music and sang Christmas songs and read the Story of Jesus. The kids had a big portion they told us from memory. It was a special time of praise and worship to the KING! Then we headed out and celebrated the rest of the day with Davids whole Family. My Family got together the next weekend. The highlights of the time with the Knifongs was the special violins Grandpa hand-made all the little kids. We had a time of playing all together and enjoying the gift of Music! The 6 and under group of kids had such a fun time joining the older kids with their very own violins! So sweet! We spent three days together and enjoyed games, crafts, songs, scripture and tons of great food thanks to Grandma!

Trip to Grandma's house

the kids with Grandpa Knifong

the catch

The kids and I went up to see my Grandparents in Milton-Freewater the first week of December. We had a great visit with them. It was the last time I got to see my Grandpa Knifong before he passed away. He was really fun to visit with and enjoyed playing with the kids. We shared good meals and good memories with them that I will cherish the time with Grandpa in my heart. A couple weeks later Grandpa quite eating and doing well. We had some snow and Colton even got to go fishing with Uncle Ernie and Farm Grandpa. What a great trip. 

fall fun

We had a fun fall with school and soccer and times to dress up. Colton played outdoor and indoor soccer this year. It has been great to keep him busy and run some energy out. Clay played just outdoor and enjoyed watching his brother. Isabel has really been dressing up a ton with the boys. She cracks us up playing with guns and being Annie Oaklie. She is so girly that we all get the giggles when she takes a pistol and shoots it with the boys. The kids planted pumpkins with Grandpa and Grandma this summer and they were so excited to put out there own home-grown pumpkins for display. We got some harvest from the garden for quite a while this fall. Everything came on so late this year! Ok thats the recap of fall for my records....
