Christmas Day Snow.

After we opened presents we all went outside and played in the snow. We just moved to a new house and we finally have a backyard that the kids can play in.

Christmas Day!!!

The kids (Tuff and Bee) woke up at 4:16 in the morning. We made them wait until 5:00 and then we got Olive and Harley up. Santa had eaten all of the cheese and cookies we left for him and drank all of the bubbly!! The kids got all kinds of things. I think their favorite was their leapsters. They all got one and they played on those all day long.

Christmas Eve Party at Grandma Bonnie's

The Christmas Eve Party is a fun tradition in our house. This year we left a little late and there was a huge snow storm. We almost didn't make it in time to see santa. The kids were hoping we would get there just in time to see Santa's sleigh and reindeer. We got there after Santa but we did make it just in

time to see him and the kids all got to sit on his lap (except for Olive, she didn't want anything to do with him.) and collect their presents of new pajamas and slippers.

Hooley Family Christmas Party.

The Hooley family Christmas party was fun. The kids all did a talent during the talent show. Bee and Harley did a dance they learned at cheerleading called the Ice Cream and Cake. Tuff played jingle bells on the piano. They all did a great job!!

Harley's birthday party.

Harley's birthday party was held a few days after her birthday so more people would be able to make it. Her "favorite" Aunt Cole was there. Grandma Nettsy and Papa Ivan were there. Grandma Jane was there. Uncle Brandon and Aunt Ski were there. Aunt Andrea was there. Uncle Derek and Aunt Mel were there. And her cousins Dawnah and Tandra were there. She wanted to have a Halloween birthday party for months before her birthday so we borrowed aunt Andrea's decorations and got a frankenstein cake. It turned out well.

Harley's birthday.

Harley had her third birthday on November fourteenth. We didn't have her birthday party for a few days after her birthday so we still celebrated with a little party on her birthday. She got a lot of Dora presents.
