Home Again Home Again-and our first real snow

The girls making some cookies. 




And some scooting. 


 We finally got real snow.  Grace has been loving it.  She has been out there for hours each day.



 She also wanted me to check on her last night,so I did. How she sleeps like that I don't know, so I had to fix her.  She is such a special girl.


More snow time. 




Christmas 2014

This was such an incredible Christmas.  












 Walker gave up about half way through and went back to lay down for a minute.  He decided it was too much, so he got presents throughout the day instead.

The cousins came over again. 


Walker loved both Caillous. 





So Stylish 


 We got him out of Pj's for about 2 minutes.  Then he went right back again.





 One more gift, it took him a while to come around and this was around 9 PM.
Grace's favorite was either her Rabbit Family or her Fire.  Walker loved his Caillous and the car track.  Tori got some really pretty dresses.  Art got some cool new shoes and I got a GPS watch.  
Right at the top of my list though was this special gift from Grace.  She wrapped it, then put it in a box.  The best was when I opened it and she said, "I know I gave it to you before, but you love it and I wanted you to be happy."  It was a rock she gave me a long time ago that she drew eyes on to keep me safe and not worry.  Love this lady so much. 

It was such a lovely Christmas.  We had so much fun sharing it with Grandma and Papa Box!


Christmas Eve 2014

Christmas Eve is my all time favorite.  I love the excitement and anticipation and the family time.  Art and I ready to party. 

We all got together at the club house for dinner.  We celebrated Tori's 16th birthday while we were there.  The kids made her flowers.



We got her some Boise State stuff. 

Then the kids got games to play. 








We had rolled tacos and Enchiladas.  It was delicious. 




Tori's birthday cake to finish off dinner. 






 Back at the house we red about Angels, the Story of Christmas from the Bible, and Art read the Night Before Christmas.  Everyone got new pajamas.






And a special gift from me.  Walker got Caillou that I have been working on forever.  The pattern said he was going to be 10 inches.  Maybe his legs were 10 inches, but Walker loves him. 









The girls got Angel necklaces and earrings. 
 We set out milk and cookies for Santa.


A few family pictures that I did get.
