The kids had a lot of fun Christmas morning. It was fun to see their excitement! Audra woke up first and was excited to make sure everyone else got up. Here are pictures of the kids coming down the stairs and opening some of their presents. Audra loved her Fur Real kitty and Ian loved his Spongebob Sorry.
The kids had a lot of fun at their Nana and Bampa's Christmas party. We opened our Christmas crackers, opened presents and had a fabulous dinner and dessert! The kids were spoiled by everyone. Here is a picture of them with their crowns on from the Christmas crackers.
We also re-enacted the nativity at the Peterson party, Ian was a shepherd and Audra was an angel. The kids had a lot of fun and it was neat to see! We also had a gift exchange and the kids had a lot of fun doing that. It was a great night!
We had lots of fun at the Earl Christmas Party. All the grandkids dressed up as manger animals and nativity characters. It was really cute to watch them come out as the Christmas Story was read.
Too cute!
Ian showing me his STRONG muscles 
Ian was so excited, he's had a rough time containing the excitement all week!
Aww, the price of beauty. Putting in curlers and sitting and waiting for Mommy to do my hair was all worth it.
The finished product, bring on Prom and other dances...I think I will definitely be ready to do the hair thing by then!
Audra's all ready to go!
Audra loved to scoop out the guts of the pumpkin, Ian hated it and kept flinging his guts all over on to everyone! (In case you're wondering Audra is in curlers in preparation for her Halloween costume)
We had the Peterson side of the family over, and everyone had a lot of fun. A new family tradition in the making...
Ian is pretty proud of "his Spongebob" (even though Brandon did all of the work). Ian did pick the pumpkin out at a farm on one of his field trips.

For some reason I couldn't get this picture to turn out better, but it is a perfect Minnie Mouse.
Ian's favorite...Spongebob
Darth Vader 
This did say Happy Halloween, but unfortunately one of the kids who call themselves "Not Me" got to it :(
Brandon took this picture of the kids and I because they wanted to get their picture taken by the "BIG pumpkin".
Audra loved having her face painted!
This is the first time Audra has ridden a pony. The last time we came (2 years ago) she was too little. She loved it!
Ian loves to ride his horse "like a cowboy".
We had a lot of fun on the wagon ride around the farm too!
