Crew {Standing}

Crew learned to pull himself up to a standing position today. He was crawling around on the floor at the cottage and when I turned around, he was standing by the couch.

Christmas 2017

We had a magical Christmas day filled with lots of giggles and laughter. Chesney wrote a note for Santa and the cookies, carrots and milk were left for Santa and his reindeer.
 
 
We always read "Twas the Night Before Christmas" before bed.


 
 
 
 Brecken was very excited about his new hockey game.
Daddy was thrilled to get a new gaming system.
Crew was just happy to crawl around with a flashlight and to check out all the boxes.
 
 Mackston was excited whenever anyone opened a gift.
 Happy girl got new boots.
 
 I helped Crew open a few gifts.
 
 New skates for Chesney.
 Brecken got a new truck with a motorcycle and ATV.
 
 After gift opening, someone was a little tired.
I love seeing all these cuties in matching pajamas just enjoying the day.

Schneider Christmas 2017

We celebrated Christmas with the Schneider side of the family over the weekend.  The kids had so much fun, from present opening to sledding.  But spending time with their cousins was certainly the most fun!
 
 
 
 
 
 Chesney was so excited to get the fairy garden she wanted.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Sledding was a lot of fun for both the kids and adults.
 
        
We had such a great time celebrating Christmas.

Christmas Season

  We have had so much fun getting ready for Christmas this year.  We have made cookies more times than I can count, and all because my little people love to make and decorate cookies.     
 
 
 Hot cocoa was a must (with crushed peppermint added of course).
 
 
 Santa went to ABC preschool one day where Mackston got to visit him.  Santa also visited with Brecken's pre-K class.
 
Back to cookie making.  We had some very cute cookies with plenty of sprinkles.
 
 
 
 
 
 One night we drove to see some Christmas lights set to music.  Crew thought they were pretty cool.   
 Brecken and Chesney decided they wanted to make their own cookies one day.  I helped them with a recipe for the base of the cookie, and they added their own special touches.
 Mackston was in charge of dishes.
 We decided to make one giant cookie for each kid which turned out to be a big hit.                
 Another day and more cookies to decorate.
 
 
 Mackston decided he needed to eat his heavily sprinkled cookies.
We have plenty of cookies and are ready for Santa to come our way!
