Better Late Than Never -- Christmas & New Year's Eve 2014

Bear with me that the pictures are in random order, as I do not have the time nor the patience to organize them.  ;)

Rolling Buckeye Balls


Brock making the "perfect" buckeye:




Christmas Eve Cocoa and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Big Pandy




Ella got a bb gun for Christmas, so Daddy had to make sure everything was in order before taking it out for a try.




Target Practice








She's a pretty good shot!


Christmas at Grandma's and Grandpa's






The girls were glued to the race car track, and Carter was glued to his tablet.  















Fuzzy pic but cute (doh!)

Brock and Carter got matching gifts from Grandma and Grandpa:


TVs



Blake loved his karaoke machine.  I would say that he has a voice like me.  ;)

As Blake sang into the microphone at a decibel level that could break eardrums,...

innocent bystanders calmly and patiently played bingo.














Christmas at Grammie and Papa's
Chess Against the Master


Pandy has to go everywhere.



It's not Christmas with The Christmas Story.

Ella's First Sewing Experience







Her First Pillow!

New Year's Eve
Milk and Cookies



Countdown Ring Chain





Brock claimed that MUSIC was his claim to fame in bingo.  Every time it was drawn, he would win.

Valentine's Day Date

Valentine's Day came a day early for our house. The kids and I celebrated at school in our classrooms. It warmed my heart to have 58 little Valentines this year (my own kids and students) and one big Valentine (Chad).  We ended our day at the ice skating rink. I can't help but feel so loved on this very memorable day. <3


Such sweet, loving, and thoughtful kids I have! I love them to pieces!
 

Ice Skating Adventure



There was a lot of this:


Sophie and Brock were not afraid to give it their all. They would fall, get back up, and fall again. Ella was a bit more catious in wanting to hold my hand, but by the end, they all were pretty good skaters. Such a wonderful evening.

It's things like this that make me love my job:

Breakfast with Pandy

Pandy goes everywhere. 

Sophie's chore is to vacuum out the couches. She spent at least 3 minutes trying to get untangled from the vacuum. Not sure why she was wearing her earmuffs and coat. 

Ella's new love: a dog that is small enough to be a cat, but it's not a cat. 

Again...

Chad's at work, and walls come out.
