Snow!! Lots of it and good packing snow to make snow men, forts and snow balls.

Uncle Austen stayed at our house about a week after the cousins left. It was nice to have his help and to have him here.

Cousins: It was so fun to have our cousins come and stay with us on their way to their new home in Tennessee. We were grateful to have them in our home and to see them, it had been awhile.

Maebryn's baby blessing. So nice to have so many here with us.

Legos

Christmas- most everyone got legos except Calvin who got a game that he has been  wanting.

Christmas Dinner

In school we read the book "Understood Betsy" in it they milked cows, made butter, ect. Our neighbors had a cow born the same day as Maebryn and hence a cow to milk. We went over one day when they milk the cow and tried to milk the cow.

Maebryn likes to suck her fingers but it is always different fingers. Sometimes her thumb, pinky, or middle fingers.

The night under the Christmas tree: Tara sent them pj's to open and a kit to make gingerbread houses. We did that and went to look at lights around the neighborhood and then the kids slept under the tree.

Evan is Maebryn's little buddy.  He runs into the room as soon as he hears her wake up and visits with her until I come and get her. He is almost always the first one to run to her aid.

Grandma made these hats for the kids so that they could be real chefs. :)
