A Year in Review

For those of you who still check to see if I have updated my blog - I have caught up on the whole year that I missed!
Enjoy our Year in Review!

December 2010

The boys loving the snow!
The Christmas Parade with our friends Scott & Angie, Nathan, Jacob & Luke!
Wondering what in the world we are doing!?
The parade beginning with fire trucks - notice the camoflauge boy in the back ground with his ears covered... that's my boy! Scared of the firetrucks and how loud they are!
Trapping muskrats.
Playing in the snow...
The more he can shovel the better... he just loves shoveling!
Christmas Party with Eric's aunts, uncles & cousins. A great time filled with fellowship and music!
Levi trying to break the pinata'!
Thoroughly enjoying the warm cozy atmosphere and great music! Miley loved it too - she just sat in Aunt Linda's lap and watched her play the keyboard!
An attempt at a Christmas picture.
Miley
Once again an attempt at a picture of all three... someone is missing again!
The boys are loving having the 4-wheeler around!
Levi riding in the sled!
Miley checking out all the snow.
Levi in the igloo they made.
Love the pink cheeks!
The boys even shoot their bows in the winter!
Just be sure not to miss or you may not find your arrow till spring!
Justin shooting his bow.
Justin trying out his new snowboard that Levi got him for Christmas.
After we opened our presents the boys went outside to play. I was in the bedroom when I heard paper ripping... I walked into the room to find that Miley had opened the last 3 presents! She definitely enjoyed opening presents this year! I quickly rewrapped them and put them out of reach!
Eric & the boys!
Christmas dinner - fondue!
The kids in the Christmas jammies!
The Grandkids in their new Alaska shirts from Uncle Andy & Auntie Rachel!
We really needed more meat for the freezer! Eric went out on the last day of the season and was successful!!
Justin got sick of always pulling Levi on the sled behind the 4-wheeler - so we he taught Levi how to drive it!!
Levi is so proud that he can now drive the 4-wheeler too!
I have always heard the stories about Christmas trees falling down... now I understand! Miley pulled it over trying to pull an ornament off! She was so upset! Thankfully it is a really small light weight tree... but the damage was done and only a few short days after Christmas the tree came down for good!
New Years Eve with friends!
Saige & Miley
The kids watching a movie in the basement.
Everyone watching the ball drop!

Having a lesson in the school room.
Girls on one side, boys on the other.

It was cold in the school room - it only had a wood burner in the center!

Visiting the Town Hall and making candles.
Running to the stage coach stop - inn.
Making lunch in the kitchen - the kids churned butter, washed dishes, cut vegetables and ironed clothes! It was a very nice field trip and the kids learned a lot!
