I feel like I am in the Movie Groundhogs Day!!!!!

It has snowed here the last three mornings!! Have you seen the movie called Groundhogs Day? If not, it is about a guy who makes some kind of wish or something, and it makes it so that every day is Groudhogs Day. Or, at least until he does his good deeds..... At this point I am trying to decide what good deeds I need to do to not wake up to the exact same morning....snow!!! I fed the Sister Missionaries tonight! Does that count?!! (I bought my kids their own snow shovels so that they can help me with all of the snow. They love helping, and I love the help!)

Random Snapshots of Sunday

I bought a new family tree picture frame from our local Hallmark store recently, and so I took some pictures on Sunday to put inside the frame. The kids had a blast having me snap their pictures!

LAZY!!!

All I have to say is that we enjoyed our Martin Luther King Jr. Day.....the best way to describe our day was lazy! Well, not Ben I guess, he actually went into work for awhile to get caught up on some paperwork. The rest of us were pretty lazy though. We played the wii, played games and watch some Star Wars together!! I just bought Julia a new leotard for gymnastics, and she was so excited about it that she wanted to wear it! By the way, we really did wear our pjs ALL day long!!! Yahoo!

We finally had Christmas...

We spent Christmas up North with our families. We were at Ben's Dad's house on Christmas Eve and morning. We were there with Ben's Dad, sister Emily, brother Stephen, sister Erin, brother in law Davie, nephew Johnny and nephew Nate.

Benson and Julia woke up very excited on Christmas morning! Cecilia was happy, but trying very hard to wake up! The first thing that they did was to open up the presents in their stockings.

After the kids opened their stocking we waited for everyone to awake up before we opened Christmas presents, and Julia thought she would take matters into her own hands!


This is what the living room looked like when the kids came downstairs after singing Christmas songs:

By the time all of the presents were opened, there was wrapping, boxes and gifts everywhere!!

After Ben's Dad's house we packed everything up and drove up to my Mom and Dad's house. The people at that party were: my mom, dad, brother John, sister in law Val, niece Janie, nephew Alton, niece Beverly, Sister Liz, brother in law Courtney, sister Kelly, brother in law Lucas, sister Kim and my Grandma Winger! There, it was like Santa had visited all over again!! One of our presents from my parent's was a Wii!! The kids have had a great time playing with it!
