Our new game that we got from Christmas. Ethan and Ella had never played so it was soooo funny watching. Poor Ella, her little arms and legs were a little short so we had to go easy on her. Ethan got into some pretty crazy positions. Mom and Dad played for a bit but found out we are a bit too old to hold some of the positions. (no pictures of that unfortunately!! lol)

Ice Skating
This year for Nathan's work Christmas Party we went to Idaho Ice World. It was so much fun. Emma, Nathan and I have been before but Ethan and Ella have never been ice skating. We started out by having dinner at Chicago Connection then headed over to start skating.
Ethan struggled a bit. At first we didn't have any of the walker things to help them out so they stayed along the wall. But after awhile we ended up with the walkers. That sped things up!
Next time . .. Jeans and taller socks. Some of us wore ankle length socks so the shoes rubbed our ankles raw. Some of our bums got pretty cold too.

Christmas Prep
Emma is such a good sport. She loves helping her dad, especially if it involves getting on the roof!
This year we decided to get a real tree! It was so nice putting on the lights without getting my arms all scraped up, the real trees are so soft! Since it is a real tree I decided to put on tinsel. I have never ever had a tree with tinsel on it so I thought I would give it a try. I am loving it as of right now but I am finding the silver stuff all over the carpet.
One of our Christmas traditions is to decorate the tree as a family. The kids love to hang all of the homemade ornament they/we have made in past years. We are getting quite the collection.
