We had a good Christmas...

We put up our tree the weekend after Thanksgiving and we are so glad we did, it helped us get into the spirit of Christmas.



Wow, loved the Christmas Eve snow fall: cold noses, playing in the snow with Dad, making a snowman, hot cocoa and snuggling in for our first Christmas dinner with just our little family, games and early to bed. The boys wanted to! They were so excited. We didn't argue. :)


Playing in the snow...




A window kiss... :)





Jared smearing Owen with snow from behind. They got each other good.







Grant sweeping the snow, oh so helpful.







haha, Owen sneaking up on Jared with a snowball. :) Payback.







Tanner's "little snowman"







Chase and I watched all the fun from inside, all nice and warm.







First real snowman of the season, loved the great packing snow!
Our neighbor Logan, in the orange, helped the boys make it.












Games and treats! We love to play Monopoly as a family, Owen usually wins when we play with the fast play die. They love to have their own "money". haha








Read the Christmas story and the boys helped place the characters around baby Jeus as we read, they are finally old enough as a group to understand and sit still for a minute. Love to see the light in their eyes come on and understand the real meaning of Christmas.












This years Grammie Jammies!! They turned out awesome! The boys love to wear them all day. Made by Grandma and Grandpa Frostad every year. They have so many grandkids, they are amazing and I don't know how they do it! :)






















Chase loved all the excitement!







Chase's first Christmas, and opening gifts! He is getting so big!







We got the XBox 360 Kinects for Christmas as a family and love that with the games that you sit down to play, it also has games that make you get up and move! The kinects senses you as the controller, so you literally have to move to play!








Jared loves it just as much as the kids. :)





You really get sweaty and active playing this, its great!







Many more fun family nights to come with this one. :)




Hope you all had a great Christmas too! Look forward to this New Year!
