December.

Aunt Erin was in charge of watching the kids one night.
I heard they all had fun! haha

Visiting Santa at the Auxiliary Ladies Christmas at Friendly Buffalo.

The kids look forward to it every year.

They sit with Santa, get a bag of candy, pick any gift they want on the table,

eat cookies & juice & sign up for a free bike.

What a great event to kick off the holiday festivities.

This year Adler chose a soccer ball, Brock & Vance chose fidget spinners, 

& Viv picked out a Frozen marble game.

Playing outside with Belle.

Just about every day Vance falls asleep.

Most of the time it's in the van on the way to pick up his brothers

from school, but some days it's just when he sits down for a moment!

Washing dishes, showing his older brothers how it's done!

Every year we make Christmas cutout cookies.

This year I made the dough & the kids helped me roll & cut out the cookies.

So dad finished frosting & decorating them with the kids.

Snow=sledding!

Hockey on the backyard ice rink.

Vance was the only one who would visit with Santa at Pizza Ranch

& lucky for him he got a free buffet too!

We always turn on the video monitor before going to bed

& when I turned it on I saw this.

It was late & someone was still up!

Resting with Grandpa Wayne.

 Everyone loves the glow of our Christmas Tree at night.

One arm pushup entertainment from yours truly...Vance!

Loving her new Christmas gift from Grandpa & Grandma Johnson.

More hockey on the rink with neighbors.

Supper with the Geers boys.

The Brown boys & Quinn came over for supper too.

All of us chatting about our upcoming couples vacation together!

Sundaes at home.
