And she thought we were geeks....

We needed to rearrange our TOY ROOM after the Christmas Party. We usually don't get many comments on our blog, however, our cousin (who will remain nameless), said we were GEEKS! So we thought she and a few others might like to see the rest of our TOY ROOM.

Now let's get scrappn!!

Before and After Santa!!

Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone! This morning we spent it at our home. We had 20 people in our house to celebrate Christmas with the Popelka's/Helmer's. Everyone had a wonderful time and enjoyed opening all of the presents. Then in the evening we headed to Jeremy's mom and step dads to celebrate with his side of the family. It was a short night, everyone was way tired, no naps today. So it was home to bed by 8:30pm. Opps forgot to rotate the picture for you all.

Our New Toy!!!

Our latest project, we had to open one of our Christmas present early. We could not resist. They are our paper holders, so now we can see our paper much better and keep it more organized!!

Bye Bye Girl...

Maddie Jo really enjoys going bye bye. Here she is waiting for her Rosie to come and pick her up. It is pretty routine for Rosie to take Maddie bye bye after Rosie is done with work. Maddie knows that when she hears the Church bells ring at 5pm she knows that it is Rosie's work bells.

Carter's First Build A Bear!

Maddie got to make Carter's first Build A Bear. It is tradition in our family for the kids to get a Build A Bear. Carter is going to be getting it for his First Christmas. It is a Puppy Dog, and his name is Andy.

Ginger Bread House!

Today Brady and his classmates made Ginger Bread Houses at school. They were all given coins to purchase candy to decorate their houses. Here is Brady's house and he is very proud of it, as am I. Now he wants to eat it and share it with his sister.

St. Nick

St. Nick payed a visit to the house on Friday night. Brady and Maddie got coloring books, reading books, some candy, and a toothbrush holder of Spider Man and Dora. Carter got some chocolate candy and Puffers.

SNOW DAY!!!!

The kids had a snow day from school today. They all played outside for most of the afternoon, while Jeremy and I took care of the driveway. We got over 10 inches overnight and another 4 today. The Assistant is off to take a drive and test out the roads to see how many donuts she can do.

Enjoying the Wisconsin Winter!!!

Nicole, Brady, and Madalynn got to enjoy a night of playing out in the snow. Nicole pulled the kids around the yard in the tube. All had enjoyed themselves.
I stayed in the house and opened the window in our scrapbook room and took the pictures through the open window. Rosemary was a baby and was freezing her butt off. It is only 10 degrees outside.

We welcomed winter last night....

we got quite a few inches of snow overnight...which delayed school today by 2 hrs...sorry no pictures yet!! Also no pictures from the hunters of their successful season!! Tomorrow I-59 and I will go to Milwaukee for a meeting regarding her surgery on Friday...she is hoping to get rid of the need for GLASSES...though she has had to wear them full-time for the past few weeks!! ;-}
Off to enjoy the snow!!!!

Hello

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. Hope you all were blessed as well. Brian got a deer (shot with a gun this time!!) I-59's house is in transition to SNOWMANVILLE!! around every corner, on every wall...there are more snowmen inside than snow outside.... Lubbie loves the Christmas tree...especially the lights.

Finally returned the overdue book...

We finally returned Grandma Jane's book. We were planning on keeping it only one week...and that quickly turned into two!! So today during my noon-hour time, Jody, Carter, Madalynn and I took it back to Grandma. We barely got in the front door before Grandma was already jumping for joy that her book was back. Of course, Madalynn showed her all the "projects" that she has been working on and pointing out every picture to Grandma that Grandma was on. After playing with Grandpa Al's bears and bouncing on Grandma's knee, they had to take me back to work.

THE END, FOR NOW...

that's all ... for this weekend

Well, we had quite the fun filled and relaxing time of scrapbooking this weekend. Last night (rather this morning) we finished at approximately 2:15am. We have five more to do, as some great-grandchildren already had their own page, being an only child. I'll work on those five tomorrow night, so on Tuesday I can return the book to her. So here's Grandma's new book that we found today. It's not the Royal Blue, which is her favorite color, but rather a Navy blue.

and More...
