Christmas chior concerts, and a REAL North Pole Elf!

 This was Haileys chior concert for the parents! It was so much fun:)
 She did so great! It was fun to see her in her element, she loves to sing.
 There are so many children in her chior, 110, bless the chior teachers!
 Haileys school does a Christmas sing, where all the classes perform one song.
 They got to sing, "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas."
 They did such a fantastic job, it was too cute!
 Oh ya, Ryker thinks he is an elf, that goes and works at Santas workshop every night, he is so funny. He is really serious about this. He tells everyone, "I help Santa make the toys, he is a very busy man. I will be back soon, like tomorrow morning. Don't worry I will be safe, miss ya!"
 He is a funny dude, I wish I could make his dreams come true, where is a Santa shop he could work in? I wish we lived somewhere where he could do this.....I need to find something.
 This is Hailey on the first day of break...."rockin her pj's".
She is jumping for excitement. We are so happy for the break and for the season to remember Christ and serve others, and lets be honest, get some presents, and GIVE some too!

Last week in pictures!

 This was a slow morning for Ryker and I. We found a new park, that they loved!
 That afternoon, we took Hailey and she loved it as well.
 They still love the slides, and I still take pictures of everything, like they are newborns!
 Ryker is so brave now, he loves the swing now, who knew that big slides and swings would be in this kids life?
 I love this picture of her, she is just too fun, I miss her during the day.
 He loveds his sister as well, they have so much fun together. He is my buddy, and I am soaking up every cuddle, hug, and kiss from him.
 She will always take care of him, I think......I hope.
 Hailey wanted to me to take some pictures of her. It was such a beautiful day.
 Ryker did not want to leave, and did not want his picture taken.
 This is such her personality!!! She is such a fun girl, I am lucky to have her in my life every day, and forever.
 There is his personalty too, he is so funny and naughty all at the same time, this boy stuff, I love it.
 I just wanted one picture with both of them, and this is what I got!
 The next night was her first chior concert at a local grocery store, she had such a great time, and she is awesome!
 She knew all the songs, and sang them so loud!
 The next morning we went to see Santa, on a Saturday, at lunch time........sounds like disaster right? Well, this was the perfect time, 3 people ahead of us, we were in and out!!!
 After seeing Santa, Ryker wanted to be Santa, he made himself a costume, and spoke like him all night, asking each of us what we wanted. "Mom, you just want us to be good, right?" "Okay good."
 The next morning we woke up to snow, they got there clothes on and grabbed my brooms. They were sweeping the snow off of everything....thank you very much kiddos.
 Service with a smile!
 After playing in the cold, they decided to give their babies swim lessons, they were in the tub for about an hour....
 I am not sure whose idea this was, but it was so funny!
 Ryker wanted Mike to be a "gentleman" too.....this was his Christmas treat for Mike.
This morning our Elf, drew faces and colored arms, and put bow ties on everyone. They had a hard time finding him today. They found him right before we left for school.....whew, that was a close one, they were sad that they could not find him anywhere!

I am out of the sling, and starting to live life normal again. I did a workout today, only using my left hand for sit ups and stuff, but Pilates worked well with only one hand. I just need to take it easy on it, no burpees or push ups, or weights for two months! The doc even said I should not RUN!? What? I am going to rest it for a couple more days, but hopefully it will heal sooner than that.

They LOVE their Dad, it was too cute!

 Hailey and Ryker were playing "Salon", and Mike was getting his "pokeys" cut.
 They were soooo happy!
The finished product, he looks really great!....he always plays whatever they want, and does whatever they want.
What a great DAD!:)

It's Christmas time for sure!

 Look who is back in our house....we renamed him Johnny, but then we remembered his name was Tomister.
 Hailey and her beautiful dress that came with a matching dress for her dolls.
 A "family" photo, for the holidays!
 Ryker did not like this photo session.
 Tomister or Johnny drank all the syrup!
 Our Christmas tree is up and all decorated!
 Oh, the Christmas corner!
He built a fort and had a snowball fight, the kids have fought a lot, so he has not moved a lot...they hope he will be able to move soon. He made a elf angel one night with flour, the kids think he is pretty funny!
