Mine and Sam's bday Dinner

Our birthdays are 5 days apart. We always try to celebrate it together to make it easier on everybody. It's such a busy time of the year. It's hard to get everyone together at the same time.

Bowling with friends

A couple of weeks ago we went bowling with some friends for Rosie's bday. The kids had a lot of fun. Cam and Izzy love bowling.



Amos had 5 strikes in a row this night! Needless to say he had the highest score.

Eaton's Christmas Party

After a few years of not having a family party, Amos' mom decided it was time to re-start the tradition.

Leslie picked a day and our house as the place for it. So on the 12th we had the party. We were kind of nervous! We didn't know how many people would come, and if would be able to accommodate everybody. I didn't get a lot of pictures, but I thought I would post the few that I did get.

In the end it all turned out great! Every one had fun.

Wright Family Christmas Party

Every year on the first weekend of December, Amos' dad's family gets together for Christmas. The family is fairly big, it's hard to keep track of who's who, who goes with who.

The kids like going and playing with their cousins. There are always different fun games for the kids to play. This year they had ornaments for the kids to paint. Of course Izzy painted a lot of them, so she could hang it on our "homemade" tree.

You would think that after 10 years of going to these parties I would know who everyone is. Not yet, maybe one day.

Opposites

With have been talking to the kids about Christmas and trying to figure out what they would like. They both believe in Santa. A few questions about his existence has come up, but we told them that you only get presents if you believe.

Isabelle had no problem writing her letter to Santa. There were a lot of things that she would like. Cameron on the other hand, decided not to write one. I asked him why? And he said:" Well, a couple of years ago all I asked for was a pogo stick and I got like 500 presents and the pogo stick! So this year I figure I would just be surprised."

So we have one kid that is asking for everything she could possibly think of, and one that just wants to be surprised. Hopefully they'll both be pleasantly surprised!

Christmas Tree

Yesterday we finally got our Christmas decorations up. I love Christmas! It's my favorite Holiday.

Every year we put our Christmas decorations up on Thanksgiving weekend. This year we were a little behind schedule.

Anyway, the kids had a fun time, and Amos finally admitted he likes our tree. Yea!!!

Issy's letter to Santa

I just thought this letter was so adorable!
