Everyone had the day off from school so we met up at the park. The weather has been vary warm but today it was chilly with wind.  Erika was kind enough to fly a kit with Afton.

Monster trucks

I'm not sure who was more excited to see the monster trucks me or the boys. It was fun to see them jumping and doing doughnuts but I was hoping for some back flips like you see on TV.  It must have been some what entertaining because boys boys feel asleep on the way home.

It is national eat ice cream for breakfast day! Most of the time we don't need a national day to eat ice cream breakfast, if it's in the freezer Connor will usually ask for it. Afton and I celebrated twice this morning. She has a upper tooth coming in and she was cranky most of the night so I thought a little ice cream might calm her down.

Erika invited us to go sledding. It always amazes me how long kids can brave the cold. Me and Afton only last a few minutes. The boys loved it and hope it snows again so they can go sledding again.

 After Breakfast we headed home to fix the rolls for Christmas dinner at Aunt Carrie's house. We always have delicious soup. This year Grandma and Grandpa Burton made home made ice cream. While finishing up dinner we heard lots of screams coming from downstairs. It was the younger kids and Uncle Wayne playing Foosball.

 

We met up at Grandma and Grandpa Jamieson's for our Christmas breakfast tradition. This year we had Great Grandparents up for breakfast. 

The boys have been sleeping in the past few days but not today they were up at 7 am.  I have been anticipating their scream of delight for a few weeks now.  With in a few minutes all the presents were open and they wanted their toys put together.

This morning the boys thought they should teach Afton how to say her first word.

 We thought it might be fun to go and see the zoo lights tonight.  I was getting frustrated the more we walked around because most of the animals exhibits were  closed. Its the one time I didn't mind going in to the reptile house because there was stuff to look at and it didn't smell. 

Tonight we had a family dinner with Grandpa and Grandma Jeppson. Erika had fun photo props and treats for the kids to make as well as a game. But most of the night the kids played football. Thank you everyone for the delicious food and family entertainment.
