December Memories

What a wonderful December!!!!   Parties, programs, family, friends-- enjoying life to the fullest!!   I have so many pictures from this month, I don't even know where to begin.  So, here goes... a complete hodge-podge    of our happenings!! :-)

Near the beginning of the month, Mark celebrated birthday #36!!!  So thankful for the man I married!!!

Karson-- ready to perform at his school Christmas program. They had a more casual program  this year that turned out really cute!!

Kaden and Kelsey ready for their school Christmas program.

We loved getting to know the Loper family and having them in our home!! A great family getting ready to leave for the mission field in a few weeks.

Karson and Eli-- IPad, IPod.....Life is sooo rough for 3&4 year-olds these days!  ;-)

Santa showed up at Karson's Christmas party!!!  Talk about some thrilled 4 year-olds!!! WOW!!! :-)

Kaden at his class Christmas party!! 2nd graders with bags of frosting and lots of sprinkles, makes for some pretty interesting finished products!! :-)

LOVED having all of my siblings/in-laws/ nieces/nephews home this year.  My parents had a full house for a week,  GREAT TIMES!!!!   The cousin total is  now at 17-- big families are just the best!!!

Khara and Taylor(Englund) one of the happiest little girls ever!

Taylor seemed just as interested in that news as Mark.  ;-)

Khara and sweet little Jackson(Vernon).

Game time!!

Little Miss Addyson(Herring) 3-- going on 13!! :-)   Such a cutie!!

Kendall and Leanna after church Sunday morning.

Some of the cousins trying to wait patiently for the stockings to be brought out. 

We made a fun trip to Branson/Lamberts with Aaron and Brenda.  Karson and Clayton look like they were happy to be there.

Kaley and Kelsey loving Lamberts.

These three were totally enthralled with the "roll-throwing"!!  Such a fun place to eat!! 

Never know what will be used as chewing toy??!!     EEEKKKK!!! :-)  (No, it was not plugged into the wall, and was quickly taken away.... as soon as I could snap a picture!!) :-)

One of the many delicious meals!!!!

Karson takes his turn at holding Taylor.
