Trent went solo
Chantel and Brilee
When Benjamin went down with Bruce he got a face full, and a back full of snow. Bruce couldn't fit his feet on the sled so all the snow they kicked up came right toward them. Brrr...
Brilee's birthday is the day after Christmas. Every year we head south to celebrate with cousins. (It's not exactly the best time to have a friend party and she's never had one). I think next summer we will have a half birthday celebration with friends. This year we brought a cake down with us and Grandma Savage had made her a pink cake so she had two! Below are Benjamin, Trent, Chantel, Raquel, & Brilee.
Brilee, Cherakie, Hailey, Teagan
Happy 7th Birthday Brilee Su Mykellykell!
Trent did a lot of babysitting the week before Christmas while I was trying to finish things up. I found these pictures on my camera. I don't know who had more fun the babysitter or the babysitted (Benjamin).
Santa found us this year. He wrapped everything!
He even ate all the goodies Brilee had layed out for him. It cracked me up that she even filled a water bottle for him...
The girls found these black headband bows in their stocking.
Grandma Wimmer gave Benjamin the cutest little cat that rolled around on the floor and laughed and laughed. Ben got such a kick out of it! Teagan picked it up and the tail just kept rotating around and around as he laughed...
Trent got some Wii and DSi games he was excited about.
Benjamin spent an hour playing with this Play-Doh set.
Trent used a new tool set to help Bruce put together a Barbie mansion for the girls.
Ben gravitated back to the Play-Doh set...
He and Teagan made Bruce a steak, potatoes and gravy, and green beans. Yum!
We played lots of games...
Each of the kids found a toy air gun by their stocking and that led to several battles throughout the day. Here Benjamin hides in the pantry from Brilee who is chasing him on her roller blades.
Brilee got this little Appletters game that's like Scrabble but you don't keep score. I thought it was neat that on one of my turns I had enough of the right letters to spell out 'Christ' on Christmas day (above). Hope yours was a merry one!
