The Kids Go Riding With Daddy

Dwight took the kids on a ride today because James and Mary have been asking every day about when they were going to get to ride the horse. It was freezing cold but they wanted to go anyway. James absolutely loves to ride the horse with his daddy. He smiles from ear to ear. Today was Evelyns first time on the horse. She is a little bit more reserved than James when it comes to doing things. She loved it and the funniest thing was after her ride they were riding back towards us and Evelyn was just sitting on the horse smacking her gum like she rides every day. Apparently she wasn't scared to ride the horse she just didn't feel like it. My funny girl!

Cousins Visit For Christmas

So as you can all tell I am totally the worst blogger ever. I guess that if I get all the major holidays in we will be ok. Well Ben and Mary have come to visit for Christmas and beyond. The kids are having such a good time. They have had some big fights but most of the time they have had a good time. We had snow for Christmas so that was a good surprise for the kids. I had to work that day so not such a good surprise for me. They were all spoiled to death by their Minny and Grandad. This picture was the closest we could get to getting all four kids to sit in front of the Christmas tree quietly in their matching pajamas. As you can see the picture is a little blurry and the kids are not posed like we wanted. Maybe next year! The other picture is blurry of Evelyn as well but she doesn't really sit still for pictures. Minnie and Grandad got them a 50'S diner play kitchen. They love it soooooo much. Evelyn was taking orders all Christmas morning.
