Lunch time!

Uncle Corey and Aunt Nikki sent Levi and Mackenzie these trays with cups, bowls, and silverware. They absolutely love them! Levi gets lunch from school and he calls it "tray lunch". I was teasing him before Christmas that he was getting a tray. It turned out to be true!

Merry Christmas and thank you to everyone!

We had an awesome Christmas! Miss you and love you all!

Kicken back!

Our Christmas Angel

She was so excited for Santa this year! She loved every minute of Christmas!!

Here's Kenzie in her new winter jacket and gum boots!

The kids made some gingerbread houses again this year. This was round two. We went to a gingerbread house party a few weeks ago and made some really nice ones!

Merry Christmas Kylie Day!

Levi loved this picture of his cat holding his gun.

Breakfast! Kearb made crepes - YUM!

Levi's Favorite Gift

Watch out! McCoy's armed!

He was jumping up and down with excitement when he opened this one. Talk about a big surprise!

Here it goes!

Loading the gun and getting ready to shoot! Kearb set up some soda cans on the ice chest for target practice.

The first lesson! Look at that boy's smile!

"You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!"

I've got to figure out why my camera is so fuzzy! Wow! That's my son with the gun! Never thought I 'd see this. Just for the record - I NEVER consented to this gift!

There he is with his new gun!

He was dying to get this stupid candy grabber. We still haven't been able to get this thing working!

Christmas Morning

Having fun!

Kylie had a nice Christmas. She made out with all kinds of gift cards and cash! She wants to go shopping.

Levi got a new skateboard from Santa. He was stoked!

The princess on her throne! She wanted this Barbie Princess Throne from Santa SOOOOOO bad! It announces her with music every time she sits or stands.

My camera battery is dead so I had to use the camera attached to the wall. What a pain!

Christmas Morning

Santa DID come!

Christmas Eve

Everyone got to open one present. Ky has been around long enough to know it's ALWAYS new pajamas.

Oregon Coast

The day after the party and a week after the big storm. Here's the coast at sunset on Saturday! I love living here - it's so amazing and beautiful! I took this while driving and wish I would've stopped to give you a better picture.

Columbus Elementary

Here's the second grade team! Melissa, me, Paige, and Michelle

This is Cassandra enjoying the festivities!

Man! The sombrero and a drink!

Columbus Holiday Bash

Jennifer and Hayley were our Karaoke queens!

This is Lynn. She has a son Levi's age and twin boys Kenzie's age.

Here's some of the teachers I teach with (possibly striking with) here in OR.

We had a HUGE turn-out! There were so many people we couldn't budge. Here's toward the end of the night - can you tell?

Don't ask about the sombrero!

Columbus Holiday Bash

Karaoke fun!

Decorating the Christmas Tree!

What a living room eh! Surfboard and tree!

Here we go!

Getting ready for the lights.

Enjoying the tree!

She is SO cute!

Christmas

The place we got our tree had hot chocolate, coffee, and tea in the barn. We love Oregon!

We ARE crazy!

Here we are in one of the craziest storms of the century cutting our Christmas tree down! Nothing holds us back!

Cutting the tree!

Cutting the Tree

THE STORM!

Look at the sky! This is the storm you've all heard about on the news. This is the weekend everything flooded and was blown everywhere! And yes we were cutting our Christmas tree in it!!@!

Here's one of our beauties relaxing.

Isn't he just the cutest guy! Here he is playing cards to pass the time.

The fam enjoys the crab feast! Kenzie and I have a hard time cracking and eating the little crabs.

Kearb, Levi, and Grandpa Kurt went crabbing at the coast. They all had a blast! Levi has talked about how much fun he had for the longest time. Enjoy the catch!
