Other Odds and Ends of the hoildays.

So, we are almost caught up and it is only a month late.
Here are some more Christmas time activities.   These next few pictures are of the girls as we were trying to decorate after getting back from Montana.

 

\We made a gingerbread house on Wednesday evening.  It was fun, Kenya and I made the cookies and ahead of time and then Kira and Daddy helped build it.  Kenya loved eating making the house.  Wednesday day was filled with 4 hours of wrapping presents too!

Before we even began Kenya had frosting on her face!  Isn't that the way it should be when you are a kids.

This is what Mom did was we decorated the gingerbread house.

Jasmin hung around and watched.  She really enjoyed it.

The masterpiece.  The snowman was Robert's creations.

By Wednesday our house was empty and Kenya and I were a sad and quite bored.  There was lots of cleaning to do, so we kept busy.  We played games with our friends the Reids one night and enjoyed some good old fashion fun!

Our New Year's eve was fun.  We actually ended up having quite the busy day.  We went to the Idaho Museum which had a display of Christmas stuff.  That was quite fun.  (We just never got there before Christmas and we really wanted to see it.)  They had nativity sets from all over the world there.  Truly it was great to see!

Then we played games with the Reids again for a few hours. Then off to Rexburg for a party at our friends the Hunts.  It was just us and there family, but still plenty of fun!  We played Wii games, watched This Is It (Micheal Jasckson's last dvd) and drank bacon soda for our New Year's toast.  (Yeah, drinking that soda is still the worst decision I have made this year.  GROSS!)  Then we were all off to bed and asleep before 1:00am.  I know lame married people, but at least we stayed up and brought in the new year.  Kenya woke up about 15 minutes till and so we just let her stay up and bring it in with us.  She did the same thing last year.  It was a great New Year!

I was kind of strange that we did not have an extended amount of time off or go anyway for a Christmas break.  Pretty much all of my life has revolved around school and there was always a break to Christmas and most often traveling.

Holiday blogging done!
