Happy Camper

Tonight as I was putting the kids to bed I had to keep reminding Graham that he needed to brush his teeth. I told him that if he wasn't brushing his chompers by the count of five that he wouldn't be a happy camper. His reply ( very excited):

Wait mom, where are we going camping?

They crack me up!

Have Yourself a Merry little Christmas

These are just a few photos of my most favoite Chrismas memories this year. What a wonderful Chirstmas it was! I was so sad to see it go I even cried on the way home from Grandma and Grandpa Edsinga's house. It came and went WAY to fast, but we had a wonderful holiday season and look forward to lots of fun in 2010!

Marcie's not happy about her "baby" jammies. Haha!

SnOw and 2010!

The Ashley family invited us to go up to play in the snow with them New Years day. The kids thought they had died and gone to heaven. We had the greatest time. Every time I put the camera up to take a picture the boys were shoving snow in their mouth. And they got to create Frosty, which Graham hopes will be there when we come next year!

Amazing memories!!!!
