Getting ready for Santa

Here are the kids with their platter of cookies for Santa and some carrots for the good reindeer.  Kenzie and Jordyn painted some really cute water color cards for Santa as well. 

Christmas with the Carpenter's

For Christmas ever we dolce to my sister, sharons,  house and enjoyed a lovely evening with family. 
We had a delicious ham dinner in a beautiful candlelight setting.  Then we watched the Nativity movie which is always so nice in helping us remember the true meaning of Christmas. 
The Saviour is The Gift and I'm so greatful to have a knowledge of Him and how I can be with him again!
Afterwards, we had a little fun with the extra string of lights while trying to get a family picture with the Christmas tree. 

Snow and friends

We've gotten a lot of snow fall this Christmas break and so the kids have had lots of opportunities to play and shovel.  Jared and I were out shoveling snow from our driveway when Melissa Daniels was out shoveling too.  Her son Teagan was playing in the snow and Her baby,  Addy,  was being pulled around on a sled. 

Jared's 36th Birthday

Jared's birthday was a great day.  I made him schedule 3 weeks in advanced to take his birthday off from work and I did the same. 
We woke up early that morning and got the kids off to school and then we left for our special day together.  We went shopping together,  enjoyed a good movie at the theater,  had a delicious dinner at Jakers ,  and came home to our kids with pizza to share. 
It was such a fun relaxing day together.  Happy birthday to my wonderful husband! You are the best a gal could ask for and better!!
