Merry Christmas! Don't you wish your holiday season could be like this? One of the kids hijacked the camera again. Don't know how they did it but this picture already had a red tint to it that I couldn't get off. Well what have we been up to? We have been working on the shop. It is almost done. Chad has been framing windows and doors and we have painted both upstairs and down. Tools are almost all moved in from the garage. Very exciting stuff. Chad had to work on Thanksgiving this year so the kids and I drove to UT and enjoyed the freezing temperatures. The high was about 10 degrees, but my crazy kids loved it and played in the snow. We went to the movies and saw Tangled on Thanksgiving night. Such a cute movie. Isaah has been playing flag football and Madi has been learning to play volleyball. The twins are working on learning to read and doing very well. They are at that stage where they are spelling the words in sentences but only phoneticly. So it's a fun and exciting time trying to decifer those stories. We are working on getting ready for Christmas. Tree is up and presents are done, now we are working on the outside lights. I think we have had some of those forever because they are not all working now, they must have taken a hint from the microwave that died on us. The kids are excited for the Christmas break and Chad wants to have the girls learn to ski this year. Isaah and Madi just had piano recitals and did great. I will post those later.
