Christmas 2015

This was our Christmas card this year.  It's always amazing when we get 22 people looking the same direction and looking pleasant!

We invited everyone over for breakfast on Christmas Eve.  We had pancakes, sausage, bacon, juice and chocolate milk.  Lani gave the kids these darling vests.  

She is so AMAZING!!!

Then the kids did the Nativity.  Libbie was the narrator and did a great job.  Here is Angel Aida appearing to Mary (Molly) telling her she is going to have a baby.

Here she is telling the Shepherds about the baby.

Here's Mary (Molly) Joseph (Hailey) and baby Jesus (Oliver)

Christmas morning it snowed a ton, and we took breakfast to Grandpa Cline and then stopped by all our kids houses to see what Santa brought them.

Josh's family

 

Jamie's family

Matt and Aida were over helping dad shovel his walks, so I didn't get a picture of Krista's family 

Everyone was invited over to dad's house for an open house.  All of our kids came, except for Jordan's family who were in California for Christmas.  

Last Sunday we had Dad, Bud, Marie and Michelle, and Boyd and DeAnne for dinner.

It's been a GREAT Christmas Holiday!

Let the sleepovers begin!

Tues. afternoon we invited our 3 littles for a sleepover.  Kelsi got here a little early and helped me made several batches of play dough.  

Jamie and Jordan gave us this awesome apple peeler/slicer that the girls LOVE.  It is their favorite way to eat apples!

We took them to McDonalds in their matching jammies so we could keep track of them.

They had fun playing on the playground.

Then we came home and made reindeer cookie suckers.

Pretty cute and easy and not messy!

The next morning these two were the first ones awake.  Christmas Caption Crunch and Christmas tree toast.

Their favorite part was putting on all the sprinkles.

Their parents came to pick them up and dropped off their big sisters for a sleepover.

They wanted to have a salon, so we all went to the Dollar Store and bought lots of fun thing.

Fun nail polish and nail stickers

Fancy! 

Each of the big girls painted the finger nails of one of the middle girls.

They all turned out awesome.

Then they made reindeer cookies too!

Matching jammies and reindeer cookies

We let them open their Christmas presents early.

They had lots of fun doing their dolls hair.

It was another fun sleepover with the bigs and middles!

The Big Cline Family Christmas Party

We had an early Christmas dinner at our house last week.  Everyone was able to come and it was so much fun!

Here's our wild kids!

All the oldies

The cute married kids

After dinner, we had a white elephant exchange

Bob played MC and was hilarious!

Jamie got this cute shirt that would fit Oliver

or him! 

Thanks Jenny for the fun idea to do a white elephant gift exchange!

Christmas Concerts

Hailey is in her school orchestra and we were able to go to her Christmas Concert.

She did a great job!

Molly was in her school choir and they put on a very fun Christmas concert.

Jordan gets a job with Intel!

This adorable little family is moving to Arizona!  Jordan accepted a job working for Intel.

We got to tend Logan while they spent a few days in Arizona checking it out.

                                        

We went with the Hurst girls to Thanksgiving point and checked out the reindeer!

Logan checked out the tracker at Sam's club 

He knows where I keep the treats, and was often found standing on a stool trying to reach them.

H loves planes, so we made him an airplane pancake for breakfast.

YUM!

We visited Grandma Cline and Olivia

and Grandpa Birks

He loved the solar dancing Christmas figurines in Dad's window.

We helped set up the Christmas village under Dad's tree. 

He especially enjoyed setting up the ice skaters and loved watching them skate around the rink!

 He was pretty happy to see his mom and dad when they returned home!
