Christmas Day & Snowmobiling

I officially get the worst picture taking award....I feel so bad, everybody has all these cute pictures and I totally slacked. We did video so that made up for it I guess. Anyhow we had a great Christmas and hope everyone else did as well. On Christmas eve we had dinner at my Grandma and Grandpas and then came home to get in our pj's and set out the treats for Santa and the reindeer. Christmas morning we woke up at 7:45 and opened presents and then got ready and headed to Brent and ReNae's for a yummy breakfast...Luckily we dindnt have to go too far because the roads were terrible..no offense Brent. After exchanging presents with cousins we went and had dinner with my family, and watched Chronicles of Narnia. My parents rented a cabin for the weekend and we went snowmobiling and came home on Sunday. We had a blast, the kids had so much fun having a sleep over with everyone! We snowmobiled, and went sledding during the day and watched movies, played cards and drank alot of hot cocoa! And yes, I wrecked a snowmobile :(...I hate playing in the powder. At least it wasnt too bad, and I have an understanding husband who just laughed:). Thank you mom and dad we loved it and had soooo much fun!!

The MAN'S still got IT!

My Dad's birthday was this week and so we celebrated it last night with my family and my parents took us to Cafe Trang for dinner and then the Neil Diamond concert!! Thats right Neil Diamond. It was a really good concert, and we had GREAT seats, my parents were on the floor about 10 rows back and then all of us kids were 11 rows from the floor facing the stage! Hadley was worrying me telling me that he wouldnt be as good in concert as he was a long time ago, but we were all very surprised. He sounded great and he can still move! He sang alot of our favorites including Hadley's; Forever In Blue Jeans, which he was worrying that he wouldnt sing it, and mine, Sweet Caroline along with several others. Sweet Caroline was probably the best everyone stood up and was dancing and singing. Everyone loved it so much he sang the last of it again! He ended on Comin To America, that was awesome as well. I took a few pics, we were able to sneak in the camera but I had to put it away before I got in more trouble, so I didnt get a pic of him!! Thank you Brent and ReNae for taking the kids so we could go out!!
Thanks Mom and Dad it was a BLAST!! Happy Birthday Dad!

On Tuesday Preslies dance class did a progression night were the come in their pj's and they first showed us some of the techniques that they have been practicing, and then they did thier dance for us!! After it was all over there was Santa there but my Preslie DOES NOT like to sit on his lap..I am so proud of her, she did such a good job, last year she didn't like dancing in front of people and she would just cry. She did awesome!!
After dinner we just took then to McDonald's to let them play and eat. We went with Brent and ReNae, Bradyn Cindy Peyton and Houston, and Jake Tana Hallie and Hazen!! The kids had so much fun!

On Monday we had the big Fullmer Christmas party, with all of my dad's aunts, uncles and cousins. It was a lot of fun, we ate dinner visited and did the annual Fullmer talent show, and of course again none of us had a talent to share. I was telling my dad that it is because of all the years he made us do it and play the piano, and we HATED it!! So Sorry to disappoint! :(
It was a lot of fun visiting with everyone since we only get together twice a year!!

Thanksgiving Day!!

On Thanksgiving we were supposed to eat with the Bennett Family this year, but for the first year since I was little we got all of my dads side of the family together for Thanksgiving. It was at my parents house because my Grandma Fullmer has such a hard time walking and having to go up and down the stairs is too hard for her, my dad said that they would do it at their house to make things easier on Grandma. So we ate a delicious turkey dinner with all the fixings, and then my mom bought every individual family their own gingerbread house and we decorated them. We usually do it every year with just my immediate family so it was fun to do it with everyone, Grandpa even got into, using those masonry skills.

Here is Colter getting his early start on learning how to sit in the saddle.



Tried to get a picture of everyone doing their house, but didn't work so good.




Trying to get a Grandpa working on his house, Grandma didn't want to do it, so he had some help from Troy's girls.


Preslie wanted to join in on the fun for a second..she had too much fun playing with all the kids.

Finished Product!!

Hadley gets so into this, he cracks me up, I am basically there to tell him what a great job he is doing. Actually I did come up with the idea for the Candy Cane roof!! This was probably the best one we have done yet, my great grandma Forman wanted to take it home so bad she told us she would buy it from us, because it reminded her of the house she grew up in in Idaho that burned down; she called my dad later that night and was still asking about it, so we took her dinner one night and the house as well so she could have it as a centerpiece, she was thrilled!! Love you Grandma Great Great ( that is what Preslie calls her)!!
