We have had so much fun so far this December and Christmas isn't even here yet!! We ended November with an awesome football tourney in Vegas. We also started December with another football tourney here at home! The Demons did well again this tourney!

We started basketball games! Both Ryan and Tyler play really well and always score in each game! Ryan has really become quite the basketball player! He loves playing!! We got up all our Christmas decor! We have quite a bit so it takes a few days to get everything inside and out put up but we did it without a problem! Erin had a fun cookie exchange at our house where we had close to 30 people show up! We had ALOT of cookies in the house for a while...but it didn't take long for all the boys to eat them up!! Ryan is in the school choir and they performed a few places throughout the area. We watched them at a tree lighting ceremony where we froze!! And then their Christmas concert at school was fantastic! Those teachers do a great job with those kids!! One week it was so cold and the news was predicting snow! The boys were sure we would have another snow day so they planned the day out...but it didn't snow! However, we did get some snow...on a Saturday!! Not enough they would have cancelled school but it was better than nothing!!

Having boys you never know what is going to happen but I guess we couldn't make it through the year without a broken bone! Jacob fell playing dodgeball in PE at school and broke his hand! He has a cast on for 2 weeks. He is doing pretty well dealing with it!

One of our favorite traditions each December is to go out to Tuacahn for their Festival of Lights! We have gone for quite a few years now. This year we went with our good friends the Bairds. They have 4 boys and a girl so you can just imagine all the boys!! We watched the Live Nativity Program (which by the way, all 7 boys didn't make a sound!!) and then we had some fun having hot chocolate, seeing Santa and taking some pics that Ashley and I wanted but the boys, all 9 of them (including our husbands) weren't too happy about!!

But, we got them and all was fun! We still have Christmas and New Years! We all love this time of year! We look forward to seeing family and friends, hanging out with each other and sleeping in cause of no school!!! And don't let me forget...NO HOMEWORK for 2 weeks for the boys!!! Yippee!!!
