Happy New Year!

How come nobody looks tired except for me? This is us at midnight, watching "Fox and the Hound", bringing in the New Year with some sparkling cider! Earlier that night, Colin took the T's to see "Big Hero Six" at the theater, and Em and I went home to watch 2 movies about horses! Dev was on a hunting trip with Dan and Cody.   

During the day, we went to a trampoline place with the Ludlows, had a blast jumping then playing lazer tag! I was sad we don't have a group pic with our great friends the Ludlows!

Tiffany's coyote

We went to Scheels, and lo and behold, there was a dead coyote in a glass case! Tiff marched right up to one of the workers and asked if he could unlock it so she could hold it.  There was a video playing that showed coyotes getting shot at a distance.  She watched with interest for quite some time.  Tameeka watched too, then later at home that night, Tameeka sat on my lap and cried real tears for all the coyotes (especially baby ones on display) that had gotten shot! I can definitely see differences in the twins as they get older :) 

Merry Christmas!

Tiffany, the elf!

I love how the girls made "elf hair" out of fabric:)

This was Christmas Eve, after our traditional drawing of names and shopping (Walgreens this year).  It was cold out!!

Writing Christmas cards to family before the opening of gifts.

Tameeka was so excited to get a My Little Pony from Ty!

Tiffy was very happy with her animal skin blanket :)

"I'm an elf!"

Tiff made me this adorable Olaf. 

Devon's favorite form of clothing- robes!

This gift made me cry:)

Not a favorite stocking stuffer. 

It wouldn't be Christmas without a traditional door-bell ditch! We got news of a family who needed some help, so we left them a little something.

They went back just to make sure they left the envelope where the people would see it, and rang again. 

Happy Christmas to the Kelly dogs! 

Waiting for Calvin to call...

It was so wonderful to skype with Calvin! We love you, and are so proud of the wonderful missionary you are!

Next, to the Bringham's house! My awesome friend Shannah came too!

I wonder what we were signing about?

Tackling Cody!
