Merry Christmas - 2010

We got to spent Christmas with the Kesler's in Holden. What a great time we had watching the kids and spending time with them.
Santa at the Stable - (Holden Ward does a Christmas Eve program - the primary kids do the nativity story and then Santa comes at the end)

Reese and Bronson (he wouldn't take his eyes off him!)

Opening new P.J.'s on Christmas Eve

Fancy Nancy Christmas story

Christmas Morning - Reese spotted her new kitchen!

Let the fun begin!

oops - got this one twice - Mark found the treasure! (his new fridge from the kids)

Bronson checking out the Zsu Zsu Pet amongst the wrappings!

Week with Reese

Reese came to stay with us while her mom and dad were gone to Las Vegas. We had alot of fun having her here - I think she was glad when the Valentine's came so she could play with some kids!
Asleep on her "bed" under the tree (she slept with us most of the time!)

Congratulations Mom and Dad! What great examples you are to your family.

Bad Bass Santa

We made a trip to Bass Pro Shop the day before we left so the kids could see Santa - we had to wait an hour and he was a lousy Santa to say the least (hence, the title of this post!)
Family Picture - 2010 at Bass

He didn't even ask the kids what they would like for Christmas! (Abby)

Notice his belly hanging out! (Bronson and Reese)

Kody, Ryker, and Lucas

Dinner at the Germaine's our last night there - (Mom and Ryker)

Mom, Katie and Kody

Our 17 hour road trip - (and we only made it to Katie's) - Reese wasn't feeling so well but was a trooper. (Notice the snowy conditions)

Day After Thanksgiving

We had a Clouse Family picnic at the park the day after Thanksgiving.
I have no idea what my girls were looking at - (obviously not the camera!)

A great game of kickball - there were lots of kids out there - couldn't get them all in

Mom soaking in some sun (or perhaps sliding down the slide!)

Mom, Carole, Nyla Jen, Cam, (Jase), Amy Tawnya (Bronson), Shara, Jess, Katie, Marsha (Jack), Kaitlyn, Alexis

Reese got to celebrate her birthday while we were there - she turned 3!

We also celebrated Lucas' - which is Dec. 6th. He will be 6!

"Happy Birthday Dear Reese and Lucas....Happy Birthday To You!"

Day Before Thanksgiving
