Christmas Traditions 2012

Grandma and Grandpa Nelson came to spend Christmas with us this year, which was so nice to have them.  The kids had lots of fun building a gingerbread house, decorating cookies and eating lots of sweet treats with G & G.  They were also able to see a chaotic Christmas Pageant performed by mostly Molli and Adam as the younger two weren't really interested.

Molli's party is winding down and she is wearing a necklace craft that she made during the party.

Fun With Courtney

This was in December of 2012. Courtney and I were waiting outside for Molli and Adam to come home from school and playing with the camera. She is in love with the camera and likes to snap photos of anything and everything.

Once Again

See, we really do like to do this. Personally, I hate marshmallows and, therefore, s'mores. Tonight they used leftover Halloween candy to make different s'more concoctions. Mark said they were good and the kids had more than one s'more each, expect Porter who just ate candy. 

Halloween Night 2012

Same costumes, except Porter who is now a ninja, but this is right before going Trick or Treating and they were so excited. They were just jumping around and watching the first groups out on the street until we finally went ourselves. 

Trunk Or Treat 2012

 Courtney was a fairy princess and Porter was a bum with a sign that read "Will Work For Candy"

 The nice vampire. She insisted on no blood dribbling down her chin. Maybe next year.

Adam was a wrestler. You can kind of see his championship belt. He really wanted to be a traditional ghost made out of a sheet, but they don't allow masks at the trunk or treat. Oh well. I was happy he could see.
