Legos and snow

Alex has been busy building Legos and today we we're excited to head out into the snow to sled and make snow angels oh and Alex lost his second tooth last night. You can see from the pic that the new ones really pushed it out! It came out while I was brushing his teeth!

More Christmas 2014

Uncle Greg and the boys!

Christmas Eve opening presents with my parents before everyone shows up!

Eva and Chloe are new to the Kids On the Couch pictures!  They will get used to it! Chloe was ready for bed:-)

Christmas Morning.  The kids slept until almost 9:00.  They were exhausted!

Evan was excited to get Pokemon!

Selfie!

Saturday after Christmas we went to Barb and Spence's to celebrate Christmas.  We were able to get a kids on the couch picture.  Ada was home sick on Thanksgiving, so I didn't post a picture.

Alex got a new George from Barb and Spence! 

Evan got some more great gifts.  The Pokemon book explains all about the different characters.  We were reading it before bed tonight and I learned more than I ever thought I would about Pokemon!

Alex got some great gifts too!

Kids wanted to do a silly picture!

Rex wanted to get in on the fun!

Christmas Train

In Mid-December the Christmas Train rolled through town.  Last year it was below zero and this year it was 40 degrees.  The area to stand was completely muddy.  Thankfully we wore our boots!  They had about 10.0000 people who came to see the train who is there for less than an  hour.  The car opens up and they played some music.  Evan and I came from a birthday party and traffic to get there was terrible.  We ended up parking almost a mile away and then walking and then had to try and find Alex and Eric.  They got there early and had a spot right up front. 

Merry Christmas 2014

Our Christmas Card 2014

The family we hosted for Christmas Eve.

It's Christmas Eve and it is past my bedtime and I've had way too much sugar!

I got this cool circuit builder for Christmas! 

The boys take a hot tub on Christmas Day!  Note zero snow on the ground. 

Great Auntie Mitch got them banks that count the money you put in and a bag full of change to put in it!  This kept them busy for quite awhile.  Don't press the reset button!  OOPS they did that!

Evan and I in our Christmas sweaters!

Me geeking out with the Circuit Maker after the kids are in bed!  It worked!  

The Santa Experience

When we got back from Florida we had scheduled an appointment with The Santa Experience who we have seen for the past couple years.  He is a great Santa!  He talks with the kids about helping around the house, eating their vegetables and being good and then gets down to what they want for Christmas.  Evan asked for Pokemon and Alex asked for a 4-Wheeler.  He wants a real one, but Santa explained that he has a toy factory, so he's not able to build a real 4-wheeler and it would be pretty heavy for his sleigh!

Santa let them sit on his reindeer for the picture!

Animal Kingdom!

We saw some animals on the Kilimanjaro safari! 

Having a little snack!

Animal Kingdom really gives you the feeling you are in a different country!

The boys even found a tic tack toe board!

The roller coaster Everest is in that mountain ahead.  We rode it two times.  It goes backwards!  It is pretty thrilling!  Supposedly the legendary Yeti wrecked the tracks on the roller coaster, so you go up a hill and the track is missing so you go backwards! 

The boys won stuffed animals at DinoLand U.SA.  These are arcade games kids can actually win.  Until an adult walks up and beats them!

Alex was so proud of his green(his favorite color) dinosaur!  He named him Greenie!

The tree at Animal Kingdom had animals as ornaments.
