Christmas with the Van Zee's

 We had a fun time celebrating Christams with Elden's side! We also have the tradition of staying overnight together as well! The boys got way to many presents like usual but got some meaningful ones! Mitchell got his first Bible from Nancy and Connor got some new books from Angie. Connie made each of them a blanket with their favorite sports teams! How nice that was of her! Of course I couldn't get that picture to download for some reason! This year we also welcome Jim in our family as well! Looking forward to Jim and Nancy's wedding in May!

Christmas with the Olsons

 We had Christmas with the Olsons this year on Christmas day! We had plenty of food and snacks to munch on throughout the day! It was a relaxing and enjoyable day spent playing games and making new memories! This year was an exciting year with the engagement of my mom and Al. Welcome look forward to many more Christmas's with him!

Making Christmas cookies!

Every year we enjoy getting ready for Christmas with making some Christmas cookies/candy. This year was one of my favorite afternoon activity! It was perfect, it was the monday before Christmas, snow was lightly falling, the Chrsitmas music was playing and the tree was glowing and we were home baking with my two favorite people. My favorite time of year! Love those boys more every day!

Decorating the Christmas tree!



 The kids are beginning to think that they don't have to help me decorate the tree anymore, which makes me kind of sad. I made them help anyway, it's tradition! This year we got a new fake tree. It was hard for me, since this is the first one I've gotten, but I am very happy with the tree I got! Plus I don't have to worry about watering it! Connor loved to play in the box more than anything!

Connor's birthday with the Olson's

 Connor enjoyed celebrating his 7th birthday with the Olson side alittle early this year! We celebrated Thanksgiving and his birthday all in one. He loves sports, so he got a few new balls to play in the basement with his daddy :) Also he enjoyed eating his monster truck cake with his cousins! Happy Birthday Connor!

Connors birthday party with the Van Zee's

 Connor had fun celebrating his birthday with the Van Zee's! He got some fun new toys! He's been into the planes movie alot so, he was excited to get some new planes to go with it! Fun times! Can't believe he's 7!

Connors friends birthday party

 Connor celebrated his 7th birthday with having some friends over for the afternoon! Connor wanted a monster truck theme this year, so we had some monster truck papers to color, open gifts and then had our monster truck cupcakes to eat! What fun we had! It doesn't take much to entertain little boys!
