New Year's Eve

Ben cooked a chili and we headed to the Daigle's to bring in the New Year. 

Ben and the kids went to the fireworks stand while I was at work...

 Marley and Ky with their sparklers...

 Pierson and Cooper...

 Ky only wanted to light fireworks with Mr. Peter...

 So sweet...

 Morgan with Ky and Marley...

 Rachel, Jennifer and me...

Thanks boys for the heater, only way we survived...  

Sweet Maggie...

 Enjoying some chili...

Well Ben and I made it to midnight, but these 2 couldn't do it...

Cupcakes for Daddy

Ky wanted to make cupcakes in her Easy Bake Oven for her Daddy. So much fun and they were good!

Putting the icing on them...

Yummy!..

Happy Birthday Ben!

Tonight we headed to 18 Steak at L'auberge to celebrate some birthdays. Jason turning the big 4-0 and Ben turning 37. Happy Birthday Guys!!

Don't they look so excited, ha...

Who got the scissors?

I came home from work to find this on the kitchen counter. When I asked Ben what happened, he said that he found all in Ky's closet. Guess I should be thankful because it could have been worse (like her own hair or her AG doll)! 

Christmas Day

After spending the day at G and Poppy's relaxing, we packed up and headed to Aunt DiAnn and Uncle Glen's for a short visit with the rest of the family before we had to head back home...

Cake and Letter to Santa

Well, we did forget the cookies for Santa. However, the kids decided that Santa would probably love a piece of Jesus' birthday cake so that is what we left him.

Cooper decided he wanted to write a letter to Santa to thank him for giving us Wally...

Kyleigh wanted to sign it...

So sweet...

Putting out Reindeer Food

Yay, we remembered to bring the reindeer food to Monroe.

Ready to spread it over the front lawn...

So sweet...

Goodbye to Wally

The kids were very excited to learn that they would be able to hold Wally and tell him goodbye again this year.
