Christmas and new years eve party

Decorating Ginger Bread Houses

Jerusha and I made the ginger bread houses and

then we all got to decorate one. It was tons of fun.

I didn't get the after pictures. I forgot.

Christmas Eve shindig at the Willenborg's

Davis in his santa hat.

what a handsome young man!!

Davis is 10 years old and if you

have any football questions he is

the one to ask

Kayla striking a pose.

Kayla is 7 years old and has such beautiful

curly hair. I am jealous!

Brendan is 4 years old and is such a goofball.

If you want a laugh or a twitch just hang

around this guy.You will get both!

Emma is terrified of Santa. She wanted me to

pick herup when Santa came. I had to get this

picture. She wouldn'tsit on his lap but would give

him a kiss. She is funny that way.

Brendan was sitting on Jerusha's (mommy's) lap

a little apprehensive of Santa Claus.

Papa watching something on TV. Probably

'A Christmas Story' movie


Emma found the window fogged over and

found that it tasted good.

If you notice what she is wearing, it is her

Tigger costume. She found

it and wanted to be Tigger for the day.

Chris and Alaina in their Christmas Eve

pajamas. It was Chris'year to pick our

Christmas pj's and he got us brown sweats.

Itold him I felt like the UPS guy delivering

packages. He got a

kick out of that.


Christmas Day at the Green's

Christmas was tons of fun and was the most perfect day.

Dad came over for breakfast and the rest of the days

activities. We opened gifts, which Emma helped open

almost all of mine. She had so much fun. She kept saying

"Present." It was fun.

Emma in her Christmas PJ's

This play jungle gym thing was one of Emma's gifts.

We put it up in her room Christmas eve so she would

wake up with a surprise. She loves going down the

slide. I actually found this on the side of the road.

Someone was getting rid of it. I put the seats down

in the van and grabbed it and threw it in. I am not

ashamed of free stuff. I didn't pay a penny for it which

is even better. It is also fun to dumpster dive as my

friend has shown me. He found in the dumpster in back

of Borders a lot of new stuff that they just threw away.

It was all in perfect condition too. Hmmm!

Chris and I sanitized the slide and everything.

Voila, Brand new!

As you can see what Zeke is laying on, they are bear

rugs that I got as a white elephant gift. I was so excited

about them. I knew that Emma would love them. Well,

it turned out that Zeke loved them more. Silly Kitty! as

Emma says all the time.

Papa after opening gifts and eating breakfast. He looks happy!

Chris to work making deviled eggs. isn't he HOT!

I love a man in the kitchen.

New Years Eve Party

First we started the party by decorating our 2010 hats.

I made out of cardstock a "2010" that we could color.

The kids were really excited about that. then we put our

hats together and there you have it, our Hats.

Brendan is totally sweet with the bill on his hat.

Davis and his sweet hat

Dad looks like a priest from Fiddler on the Roof.

Chris totally pimpin'

We played some games too. We played "Quarters." We divided up into teams. Me, Davis and Kayla on one team, Then Chris, Pops and Brendan on the other. Which ever teams turn it was had the quarter. They would put the quarter in someone's hand and try to put their hands on the table all at the same time so the other team had to guess who's hand the quarter was under. We kept score and it went back and forth. If we guessed the hand the quarter was under we got a point and the quarter. if they guessed it then they got a point and the quarter. We had tons of fun doing that.

Then we played guess which cup the cotton ball is under. I put a cotton ball under a cup of three and shuffled the cups. Whoever guessed right got to shoot big marshmallows at the others who guessed wrong. we had a catapult thing to shoot the marshmallows with. It was a lot of fun. Each person got a turn shuffling the cotton ball. Then after a while we just had a marshmallow fight. Of course it was started by Davis and Uncle Chris.

Then we went downstairs to play a little basketball. We played "Ghost" and I lost every time. Oh well. It was tons of fun. Brendan wanted to always slam the ball in the hoop. He is a goober.

I was surprised the kids stayed up to midnight. Papa was asleep at 11:30ish. Davis, Chris and I stayed up til 1 am playing Super Mario Brothers Wii. That is quite an addicting game. It is so much fun. I wish we had it. But we can wait 'til we have money for such an addiction. I guess I can stick to mario kart wii.

Chucking the Marshmallows!

Kayla shuffling the cups and her chucking the marshmallows. She is silly!

Brendan has mad shuffling skills as well. He is so cute.

Our New years hats.
