The holiday season in rewind 11/10-1/11

These first two shots are not holiday related

but Kolt was hiding crayons behind his back which made him elated

Cooper was chilling on this second New Year's celebration

The parents drank a little, but with great dedication

Kolt & Garnet the white T-shirt gang

They had fun just lovin to hang

Cooper & Loganne were jumping on the cushion

It was the hot spot to be even fallin on your tush-n

Lydia, Vi & Garnet doing ring around the rosie

Sometimes they fell down before they even got to the posie

These two loving ladies, played so well

we hardly ever saw them, from what we could tell

Daddy & kolt out on the ice

They played very hard, but also quite nice

Kolt LOVES to play any sport

Football, golf, basebaseball any sort

Chandler on the ice took Kolton for spin

It was cute then the Big Boys played their games and ignored him

The little boys were riding in the sled

They did it for a long time so some said

I just liked this pic so it doesn't need a ryhme

just enjoy looking at it for a time

Now we are back home and it was time for a tubby

in his frog towel our little bubby

Cute little tykes

practicing their letters, kolt with a pen, YIKES

He wanted on for a horsey ride

Then changed his mind so instead he cried

Our first New Year's visitors. Aunty Manda giving the fishy kisses

Kolt went for it hope his drooly face misses

Yes, a camoflage bib what can I say

his Dad really wants him to be a hunter some day

I wanted a shot of all 3

I give the credit of getting it all to me

OMG-what cuties

I love these little pootooties

Noah & Vi

Noah & Kolt

Just Kolt in the snow

just because I love him so

Vi's drawing of a reindeer on our window

One of my favorites she loves it so

His head covered in mac & cheese

This little baby boy thinks he can do as he please

What is better than jumping in a box

Kolt loves it and has no issues with taking knocks

Kolt playing at the paino & Grandma Jean's

He can bang out a tune like Freddy Mecrury from Queen

Christmas Day

the tiny Dog Agility Way

(& random shark)

Vi got a scooter, her little brother trying to go for ride

He could not get it moving but still stood their with pride

It is exactly how it looks

he dances, he wears head bands, and even cooks

Just a cute little baby

oh wait she is almost 5 maybe

His stocking left by Santa Claus

he could have cared less it gave him no pause

Vi with hers

On vi's head he sits

Oh the laughing fits

Josh & Kolt big boy cousin

So sweet love'em by the dozen

Jeff's sneaker was a little big

Kolt was so happy to have it on he tried to dance a jig

Christmas with my side of the family

Kolt feeling Uncle Gary's bald head

then he went went after great grandma's white hair

Aunt Esther & Uncle Art in the cutest mittens

attached together so they look super smitten

Grandma Waneta, Heather, Aunt Jan & Uncle Gary

looking less than merry

By far my favorite picture of the season

I am sure you can see the reason

At GranMary & Papa Al's making cookies at the table

The kids were super pumped to decorate them & most were able

Violet painted ALL the presents with christmas themes

They were so beautiful & she was so proud she beamed

Grandma thought this sweater was so funny it even had little lights

it was quite the chrismas sight

Super Mario Brothers on the Wii

We all played it with glee

Bray & kai

We did get out to do some sledding in the snow

It was really cold so wer went in for a cup o' joe

Kolt did not enjoy this

He was very amiss

A christmas cookie to finish up the night

sugar before bed.....not exactly right

Oh the kids at the downtown xmas tree

We were all filled with super holiday glee

Then Mike, Vi, Kolt and I left from our Thanksgiving vacation

Back to our hometown for the xmas festivites & education

making ornaments, eating cookies, riding a horse drawn wagon, & drinking hot cocoa

Boy we had fun and this is no joke-o

Spence built this tunnel as quick as a flash

then the girls knocked it down with a CRASH

I have no idea why I included this

must be Vi's smiles since Kolt's is amiss

The only grandchildren missing is Kolt

I am sure he was attached to me or decided to bolt

Vi & Kai looking pretty for the day

Kai bonked her face & Vi kissed her tears away

Esther, Grandma, Jan, and Karen

Who is the creepy guy in the back stare-n?

Kolt & Uncle Tim chowing down

Cutest boys in the whole stinking town

My grandmother Waneta taking a moment to pose

We certainly look related, especially in the nose

The boys conversing as to why Kolt is undressed

I am going to guess it was because he messed

Ah, the kids table set for the feast
5 minutes spent eating...... at least

vi played under tables, she played under chairs

she had so much fun trying to sneak up the stairs!

Castles made with cousins fit for a princess

only I didnot fit in so it was an awful mess :)

Kolt was helping as best as he could getting in the way

& not standing where he should

Vi was helping Papa with the apple mooshing

she liked to watch the apple gooshing

Then Mommy, Kolt & Violet were off to Alfred to hang with the fam

We made applesauce instead of jam....

These young ladies were playing together like good friends should

Smiling, giggling, & laughing as long as the could.

We started the holiday season in Ithaca NY

visiting some friends & drinking some port.
