Family Fun Night

Family Fun Night - slideshow dvd

We visited a new family entertainment center in town that has two very cool bounce houses that Jack thoroughly enjoyed, as well as bowling where Stella got in on the action too. Jack of course loved the race car game and was very enthusiastic about it as you can tell by the picture! It was a fun little family activity followed by a yummy dinner out together and then home to put two tired little kiddos to bed :)

Getting into EVERYTHING

Jack: "Look Mom, Stella's got your booby sacks on." After Stella had gotten into my underwear drawer.

Christmas 2011 - flash slideshow maker

Well, in case you hadn't noticed, I took a little hiatus from blogging, but I'm back and getting caught up with the rest of our Christmas pictures! We had a wonderful relaxing Christmas at home this year. It was our first year spending it at home and it was fun to start some new family traditions of our own, mixed in with some traditions from our childhood. Christmas Eve we went to church, had a delicious dinner of king crab legs, took a little walk to look at Christmas lights (and burn off the dinner) followed by family presents with the Churness clan. After setting out cookies for Santa and some carrots for the reindeer, we settled in to bed to get rested up for Christmas. Christmas morning was extra magical as Jack awoke us to let us know Santa had made it to our house overnight and brought him a Chuggington train table! We had a nice relaxing morning sipping coffee in our pajamas and watching the kids enjoy their new toys. A family walk through the rotoary lights display capped off our Christmas! We are so thankful to have such a great family and so many blessings. Hope you are having a great 2012 thus far and I'll blog again soon!
