Modesto Christmas

I didn't do a very good job taking pictures during Christmas in Modesto, but here are a few cute ones...

GOOSE GOOSE!!!!

Kori,( aka 'Goose Goose' to my kids) came home from Colorado for Christmas. We only got to hang out with her for 3 days before we went to Modesto but we had fun. We all really miss her! Every year she and the kids make a gingerbread house, it's quite the event. She and Jamie also set up Tessa's new Barbie RV, they were a little confused. 

Christmas Activities

I love all the fun things to do around Christmas. Here is Tessa decorating christmas cookies and Tessa & Gracie painting ornaments. So cute!

Christmas Card

Getting all 4 of us to look cute in a picture for our Christmas card is never an easy task. This year we decided to save money by taking our own pictures and it was a little bit of a disaster. Tully did not want sit still for even one picture (let alone the 30 we ended up taking), Matt was mad that I made him and Tully wear matching sweaters (I think they look cute), and I was not happy about my hair color. Tessa on the other hand just sat there smiling and being cute. But I needed to have the Christmas card checked off my list, it was very important! So I chose the best one out of the bunch, sent it off to Costco and had them printed up. Now they sit staring at me from my kitchen table, addressed, sealed and waiting for postage. I am so close to being able to check it off my list........

Here is one of the ones that we decided not to use!

A really late night....

Matt is going to be 32 in a couple of days. He has been making fun of himself because he is feeling a little 'old'. The fact the he was having a 'appetizer party at his in-laws house' was making him feel even older so, we got him a iphone for his birthday. He was VERY surprised (almost impossible to do) and now he feels young again. Mission accomplished.

We also managed to keep our kids up really late, which for some reason led to a really early morning. Nothing like a few short hours of sleep to make you feel young again.

Halloween!

It's pretty fun to go through life with your cousin's as your best friends! Every holiday is LOT'S of fun!

October fun!

Kite flying, Apple picking and the Pumpkin patch. What more could you want in October?
