SNOW!!

Today was the first time this winter that we have had a significant amount of snow and it was actually warm enough outside for us to play in it.  It was pretty deep, especially in the back yard and the boys had a lot of fun playing.  I hope you all enjoy some pictures from our fun night!

Frozen on Ice

One of the boys Christmas presents was tickets for Frozen on Ice.  We went to the show this afternoon.  We bought the tickets last spring through the PTA for cheaper than normal and we had really good seats.  We ended up being in the 6th row.  The boys loved it!  Mickey and Minnie came out first and introduced a lot of other Disney characters and princesses/princes who came out as well.  They sang a couple of songs (which Keegan loved) and then Frozen began.  The show went exactly like the movie and it was a lot of fun to watch.

Here are the boys in their Olaf shirts and carrying their stuffed Olaf dolls. They were all ready to go!

It was a cute show and we had a blast!

New Year's Eve

My family was here to ring in the New Year.  Matt and I had a wedding to go to, so they were nice enough to watch the boys for us until we got back.  They had their own New Year's Celebration at our house.  They had hats and noise makers, did a dance, toasted with some sparkling juice, counted down and celebrated at 7:00 before getting ready for bed! 

We gave all the kids baths in the afternoon so they would be ready for their celebration.  My mom braided Chloe's hair once she got out of the bathtub so that she looked like Elsa!  

Such a cute pic of Chloe

 Her beautiful braid.

 All the kids with their hats on.

 Toasting with their juice to the New Year!

 My good friend that I teach with, Angelica (who I went to Spain and Costa Rica with), married Steve (who we also teach with).  She looked gorgeous and it was a beautiful wedding and such a fun reception.  It was fun to ring in the new year with a bunch of my friends from school!

Here is a pic of the girls that were there!

Happy New Year everyone!  We hope you all have a blessed 2015, full of family, friends, health, love and happiness!!

Bruce Christmas

The first thing we did once my family got here was open presents as well.  The tree again had a ton of presents and all of the kids went first.  The adults went after them while the kids played a little and helped us out a little.

Keegan super excited to start unwrapping.

Landon by his presents.

Adelin all ready to go.

The next morning we headed to Sky Zone, an indoor trampoline park, for the kids to play.  Every time we have gone before, there was maybe 10 other kids max.  This time was INSANE.  It was packed and very overwhelming.  We know not to go over a break again.  We will have to take Ade and Chloe back when it is less crazy.

We did fondue with my family one night.  We had steak, chicken, scallops, shrimp and calamari first.  Then we did chocolate fondue for dessert!  All of it was delicious.  Here we are cooking our meat!

The kids enjoyed the dessert fondue the best!

My parents got a lot of cute pics of all the grandkids.
