Well here are the kiddies with good old Santa. Josef wants a transforming Wall-e, Amalie wants a My Little Pony feel better pony, Zoey wants a Cinderella and Quincey just wants to sleep. We went to Utah this weekend and had Christmas a little early. We opened presents from Gramalamadingdong, Grandpa Thomas, Grandma Kellie, Grandpa Kenny, Kenny, Jessica, Baby Kenny, Lincoln, Tairika, Stacey, and Justin. We got a lot of great stuff. Some of our faavorites are the kids new tables, Josef's pirate ship, Zoey's Abby Cadabby (and her DVD see next paragraph), Amalie's Doodle Bear, Quincey's basketball bath tub toy, and of course Mario Kart and the present that we haven't opened yet, but we know what it is.

Kenny, Jessica, and Baby Kenny gave us a movie bucket with popcorn, sprite, brownies and three wrapped packages. Each of the older kids unwrapped one and they were DVDs. Zoey spent the next hour running around saying. "My DVD, My DVD, Look my DVD!" She put all three DVDs in a bag and ran around, "My DVD, My DVD" We put her in her pajamas and she sat on Karl's lap, "My DVD, MY DVD!" She feel asleep on Karl's lap with the DVDs snuggled close to her. Karl tried to take them out of her arms after she was asleep, "my dvd" she whispered and snuggled them even closer. I think she liked her DVD.

Merry Christmas to all of you. We hope that you remember the real meaning of Christmas in this season of craziness. We are so grateful for our elder brother, friend and Savior Jesus Christ. May we all be blessed to remember the gifts he gave us of eternal life and repentance. Merry Christmas.

How much do our girls love tights?

How much do our girls love tights? So much that they want to wear them on their heads. Who knew we would have girlie girls? I just have to tell you what Amalie said the other night. I was teasing her because her room was messy and I said, "Good thing the tooth fairy doesn't have to come in here, she'd trip over your mess." And Amalie said, in her highest pitched voice, "She's a fairy mom, and they fly. I just love fairies and princesses and ballerinas and rainbows and hearts and butterflies and oh mom I love ponies best and I especially like the ones with wings and unicorns." Where did that girl come from anyway?

Here are some pictures we took to put on some christmas ornaments we made. Aren't they cute? Everything is going well for us. As you can see, Quincey is getting bigger everyday. Josef is doing great in school and the girls are doing well at home. Karl did pass his Idaho liscensing test, so he is now liscenced in 2 states. He is also really excited to use the snowblower tomorrow since there is like 6 inches of snow tonight. We also want to say a big thank you to grandma and grandpa Zollweg for the christmas presents. Amalie and Zoey got some beautiful new christmas dresses and Josef got some shirts (pictures coming soon) We also got a wonderful family present, but you'll have to wait until christmas to find out what it is. We're looking forward to seeing everyone during the Christmas season
