Seth's parents and brother came out for Christmas. We all had a good time enjoying the weather...and opening gifts. We had to bag up three bags of previously loved toys to give away to make room for this year's generosity.

G loved the rifle that Grandpa Jimmy got him...here he is trying to figure out how to load the caps.
A dish set and a Rubix cube...two happy kiddos. :)

H loved her purse. It's a big hit with the gals when they come over for dress up.
In January, the baby started sitting up by herself. I love progression even though I know it's supposed to happen and she is doing everything in a typical way, it is still amazing to watch.
The kids and I went back to Illinois in for almost 4 weeks...I wish I could say it was all fun....but I was working the whole time. We called it typing. H still tells stories of mommy having to go "type." We actually moved the store into our MUCH larger space AND worked on taxes....AH!
Here is a little of what Bon and I worked on....
While we were slaving away....the kids had a blast playing in the snow!
Uncle Ethan took the kids sledding - WF style. :) He couldn't find a sled, so he hooked up the top of a wheelbarrow to the 4-wheeler for a rocking good time. The kids loved it!
Some families like to play games together, have a meal together, share a laugh...mine engages in family play(dough) night....what can I say, I come by my love of playdough honestly. Yes, the kids made playdough with grandma. We wouldn't dream of making such fun shapes out of the canned stuff. LOL.
A little taste of the snow storm....and there goes Grandma Bebe's awing....
