Christmas Crafts

Troy is at the age where Christmas can be really fun! To drag out the wait until Santa comes I made a magnetic Advent Calender in November. Troy puts an ornament on the tree every day until Christmas! We haven't been the best at remembering everyday, but it has been enjoyable to play with :)

I used an old peanut butter jar to hold the ornaments.
And I finally tackled Christmas socks this year. It was stressful, painful, and awful, but they are done. . . until we have another addition. (No this is not an announcement!)

Next years craft will be somewhere to hang them!

Sledding!

Bowling

We went bowling with the Woods last weekend, just for fun. Both Troy and Zada really liked it, at least for the first 30 minutes. And I believe Zada beat me with her ramp and bumpers. Troy might have too. Bowling is not my strong sport.

After bowling we grabbed dinner at MillHollow. They have yummy sandwiches. It has been forever since we ate there! The last picture is of Troy cuddling up to Gracie while watching some Christmas movies. Or should I say Gracie cuddling up to Troy? He was there first. . .

Painting Christmas ornaments

Forget about filling Daddy's shoes, what about big brothers?

Zada is a girl, she loves shoes. . .already. She found Troy's boots today (which did not make Troy happy) and had fun playing with them. I thought she looked very stylish. :)

6 years, baby!

Blue and Gold

One of the perks about being closer to family has been the high school games we have been able to go to. We went to a couple of football playoff games to cheer on my brother. Sadly, we lost to Mackay last Friday. Bring on basketball!
