The three cooperative kids visited Santa at Manhattan's Annual Christmas Stroll on Thursday. Tyson told him he wanted a 4-wheeler, without any hesitation.
Here was the final Gingerbread house creation. We re-glued some of the Candy and put it all on one board. The kids entered it and won 1st Place in their division. The log cabin above was made by the girls' babysitter Kendra, she has a true talent and it's hard to tell but it turned out awesome!
Daddy and the boys at the stroll.

Hopefully people are reading the captions when they see this picture. We went to Manhattan Plumbing and Heating to have some food and they had a plumbing theme. And, as gross as it looks - meatballs were pretty good! There were bath tubs full of refreshments, sinks with cookies in them, etc... It was a good time.
Daddy and Devin on the horse-drawn hay ride.
We knew it was chilly out but the clock in town verified it, -196!
Actually it was high 20's, just right.
Devin got plenty of fresh air and was extra happy to find his striped mankie when he got home.

Oh yes we did! Saturday night we slept in the camper. We were toying with taking it to TFalls for the Christmas holiday and thought we'd try it out on a cold night. Saturday night it was 3 degrees and it passed the test.

Dad, can you read me this book?
Devin & Kaitlyn playing around
Morgan and her stand-in Einsteins on the Rocket...you had to be there :)
She did draw a great picture of a snowman and the best part, she wrote his name all by herself "FRUSDE" = Frosty. We thought it was pretty awesome (and she was kinda proud too)!

The boys had their Christmas Program on Monday night. All dolled up!
Devin was first (of course he didn't leave Dani's lap)
Tyson's class did awesome! Hark the Herald Angels Sing & Go Tell it on the Mountain
Then a cute Snowman counting song
Followed by a story - he did awesome!
Morgan and her Dani.

And some other news from the boys' school. They were read to by Bobcat football players last week.
Tyson even made the news! You must watch until the very end...he's briefly famous :)
