Unicorns! Unicorns! Unicorns!

We had  a great time at Build A Bear this week!  Everyone picked out an animal to build.  

First they went to the stuffing machine.  

After stuffing they inserted a small heart inside so the animal could feel their love! Olivia got a white unicorn.

Here is Mary and her white unicorn.

Catherine is washing her white unicorn.

Yeah, Michael!  He picked a different color!  Here's his purple unicorn.

All totaled we had 3 white unicorns, 1 purple unicorn, 1 tiger and 1 black dragon.  

Christmas 2014

Christmas 2014 at our house.  The star of the show!  Tree and Gifts!

We started with a meal. Tommy & Jena were sent to the kids table!

Ahhh.  The french press.

Aunt Amber made Olivia a fox hat.

Michael trying out his new bike.

At Mom and Dad's house on Christmas Eve.  I'm sure Catherine is giving child care advice to Aunt Heather.  Catherine says the secret to a fussy baby is the patting.  You don't pat.  You pat pat.

I made a book of pictures for Dad.  He enjoyed sharing stories with Tommy about the photos.

Matt is holding the cup that has pictures of him sitting in this chair every Christmas! 

Christmas at the In-laws

The first of our many Christmas celebrations was at Carl & Elaines house. This year all the kids, grandkids and great-grandkids were able to be in attendance.

Tommy & Bennett comparing gifts.

 

Apparently the grandkids enlisted Uncle Tommys help to try and pull Grandpa off of the chair.  They lost!

The boys and their basket of trucks.

The girls and their basket of goodies.

Spencer and his baby!

Jena and her baby!

Olivia found a friend.  Love the way she has her hand on his knee.
