Winter Fun

We all got Dave a Wii for Christmas. It is so fun and addicting! Here is Dave and Chris trying out the boxing game. Good thing we don't have it - I would be playing it all the time. It was fun for everyone. Mom and Dad had a good game of Tennis as did Bruce and Alida. I showed off my bowling skills and beat everyone!
On Boxing day we took the kids to try out their new skates from Grandma and Grandpa.
Bruce brought along a sled - the kids loved it. Skating was a bit tricky to catch on to but the kids loved being there.
Look at those happy faces! The things we do for the kids. They could have gone up and down the hill all day but it was a bit tiring for Bruce and Chris to have to keep running up and down with them!

We had a really great Christmas and New Years and as always I was a bit sad to see it end but I am looking forward to a healthy and happy 2008! Happy New Year to everyone (even though those wishes are slightly belated).

Christmas Day

Elyse got her "very own make-up", so now hopefully she can stay out of Mommy's! She is such a girly-girl. Thanks Auntie Crystal and Grandma Anita for the purse full of jewelery and make-up!
Paige was the happiest kid Christmas morning - she just loved the excitement of it. She of course was most interested in the paper and the bows but Elyse was more than happy to help her open her presents.
Christmas morning is so great with the kids. I love to see the excitement and joy as they open all their presents.
This is round 2 at Grandma and Grandpa's. The kids got spoiled as did the rest of us. It was a wonderful day, full of fun.
Elyse must have been a good girl, because she asked Santa for drums and that is just what he brought her! She loves the Cadbury Gorilla Commercial and that inspired her desire for the drums (I like it too - we watch it all the time on Youtube)

More Christmas time fun

Bruce and Alida hosted the Kvellestad family party this year it was a lot of fun. Here is our whole gang and soon to be one more - we are just waiting on Alida & Bruce's new arrival due Feb 1
We took the kids to the Zoo lights - Connor and Elyse had a great time rolling around the "snowballs" I love the Christmas season probably just as much as the kids. I love to go to the zoo and see all the lights.
Elyse was helping me do some baking - she is my little helper. She always wants to help me do whatever it is that I am doing - let's hope she is always as keen!
Our little family.
Precious little Paige on Christmas Eve. We went to my parents for the big turkey dinner - it was delicious!

My happy little Paige
Elyse loves doing everything on her own - she loved decorating cookies
Can we say excited to go see Santa !?! There was a singing Santa at North Hill mall this year - Elyse LOVED it - she danced and sang along and Paige loved the music too.
Elyse is doing really great on Potty training. It only really took her a week.
