100th day of school for DF

And the Primary celebrated by dressing up as 100 year olds! Man, being 100 days smarter sure wears on a person!

Super cute class of oldies

Lately

These two love playing together and acting silly 

Nora had her first tennis lesson

DF is playing basketball for the first time and loving it!

Snow Day 2016

Sledding at Daybreak, yes it was still dark outside!
My crew gets the worm :)  It was melted very quickly but we enjoyed our day!

We got a light snow last Friday and the kids couldn't even wait until the sun was fully out to go out in it and play and sled.

Nora loved sledding

The Choates and Greens came over for playing in the morning.  They made snow ice cream!

First time duck hunter

I've already done something new in 2016.....went duck hunting with Franklin for the first time! It was so much fun!!  I can't imagine how much fun it would be if there were really ducks to shoot! :)

We saw some ducks, but they were far away, Franklin thought they may come in but they kept on flying

This was me practicing

Maple didn't quite make it to the blind, but she was with us and a happy girl :)

Christmas Day

Oh what fun!!

Mammers got Ikey and Nora a dune buggy for the farm, or as Nora calls it a "june buggy"

She got them helmets, too and Isaac really likes his!  He wants to wear it all the time.  At first this june buggy went slower than a walking pace but we figured out how to kick it up to a slow jog :)

 They also got a bounce house that can be indoor/ outdoor.  It is downstairs for now with the weather and the rain, but I foresee many fun times with it in the future.

Christmas Eve night, they all were a buzz.  I don't think DF slept more than a few hours, just ask Mammers, she spent the night :) I think just as he fell asleep around 4:30, Nora woke up.  They were so excited for Christmas morning to arrive!

 They were not having putting reindeer food on the front lawn, they said the reindeer don't land in the yard, they land on the roof so it went on the roof this year.

 They each loved getting to climb up the ladder.

 We had a full moon this Christmas and it was beautiful!

 This boy is so sweet, and liked passing out the presents to everyone!

 Nora got an Easy Bake Oven and was thrilled!  She really wanted a purple one.  We still have some practicing to do, our first batch of cookies didn't quite turn out so good.

 This boy got the surprise of his life, and Santa brought an electric dirt bike.  I am one scared momma, but he's really got it pretty well figured out! 

Isaac was most thrilled with the M&M candy cane

 He learned how to ride with his daddy as a passenger.

I couldn't watch at first but Isaac could and he wanted to go along for the ride too!

 This boy is hooked, would be riding all the time if he could and the charge would last.

We met the Ligons at the farm for lunch on Christmas day.  This was our attempt at a group pic, Isaac was asleep and Uncle Bob and Aunt Myra were late so they missed it. 

Sarah, DF, Mark, and Mom

The moments in between,  on the way to Meme and Grandpa's

Nora got an American Girl doll from Meme and Grandpa, the Truly Me.  She has blond, curly hair and blue eyes just like Nora.  She named her Susie, and Susie has not left her side since.

They also got a big surprise that we are going to Disney World in May!!  Isaac got his Mickey Mouse backpack, and they are ready to go! 

Gotta love the "kids table"!

Two blond curly ponytails!

The final group pic with the Vaughts and Basses.  This Christmas was very merry!
