Here is a short video of the process of becoming Santa Claus.

Easter Madness

We had a fun Easter visiting the Romney Grandparents and having a large Easter egg hunt. as you can see some got a little more excited than others.

The youngest kids started us off and they wasted no time in getting down the hill to the eggs with Hoss (the Dog) close behind

Ana didn't let a little thing like them being up in a tree stop her

This light post was no match for Cenna

The older kids spent more time trying to get the special eggs we secured to Hoss's collar. These eggs had a dollar a piece and they all wanted that. In the end Hoss ran out of energy and Alex, Cenna, and Cassidy claimed the special eggs. Ben crashed the same time Hoss did, but not before securing a basket full of eggs. A fun filled day with our family.

Family Minute to Win it

We decided that for Family night we were going to play the game show Minute To Win It. If you've seen the show it has some fun games to play with household items. We video taped the entire thing and I edited it down to play here.

Christmas Time

Santa really pulled it out this year

Wrapping paper went everywhere. So many paper related casualties.

Santa's Visit

We all went down to grandmas Christmas party and Santa made an appearance. Here are pictures of his visit

December Birthday's

I decided to do one post for both birthday's this year so here they are

Ariana just turned 7

Cenna just turned 9

Reese's

The kids found me this Reese's peanut butter cup. 

I wanted to show some picture of the size difference. 

the little one is a standard Reese's peanut butter cup.

I had to cut the big one into 6 pieces before we could eat it. 

Halloween

I know I'm late but here is some Halloween pictures

Assistant Manager

After 60 applications and 18 interviews, I am proud to announce that my wonderful husband has FINALLY got the Assistant Manager position that we have been praying for quite some time!! I am so proud of you David for not giving up on your dream and thank you Matt for giving David a chance to finally show what he can do. It is going to be an adjustment for all of us, but we knew that this was going to happen.

The new Pipi Longstocking

I (Elann) was doing Ariana's hair 2 days ago and we found that if we shape her hair it will stay in place without putting anything (gel, hairspray) in her hair. Here are a few examples of what her hair can do. What do you think?
