Christmas in the Ayr

We celebrated Christmas in Mt Ayr over the weekend.  We had a big meal Friday late afternoon, it was delicious! We also played some minute it to win it games, some were pretty funny to watch. Didn't get pictures though.  Saturday morning was opening gifts. We draw names with adults and cousins draw names as well. All the kids were so good taking turns opening so we could enjoy seeing them open their gifts.

Christmas with Grandma

We celebrated Christmas Saturday night with Marcia. Adam, Natalie and boys were here also. We missed Geoff, he had to work, but was able to talk to him. We started the day off by going to Sky Zone for the kids to jump some energy off! Later in the afternoon we hit the pool at Adam's hotel. We had a delicious supper at Marcia's. The girls got some great gifts!! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thing 1 and thing 2

Bridget, Amy and I hosted a baby shower yesterday for Joan and her twin boys that will be arriving in February.  The theme of the shower was Dr Seuss. I wish I would of taken a picture of the full food table. We have a cute red/blue balloon bouquet too. Joan got a lot of nice gifts to get her started with the boys. The girls and I can't wait to meet them in a few short months.

Jingle in the Junction

I took the girls down to Valley Junction tonight for Jingle in the Junction. It was a lot of fun. We only got cold standing in line to ride horse drawn wagon ride. There was ice cravings, live reindeer, balloon artist, Santa and Mrs Claus. We enjoyed walking in and out of stores. Valley Junction has some really neat stores.
