Christmas Break Days 2-3

It has been lots of fun having everyone home together for the past few days. There is plenty to do outside so the boys have not had issues with cabin fever and that makes everybody happy. The boys decided to build a wall of snow at the bottom of the slide on the swing set and took turns crashing into it. It looked like fun!

John has been enjoying pulling the kids around the yard on their sled behind his four wheeler. The boys are becoming more adventurous and don't get upset when they fall off anymore. Jonah and Sam even built a ramp for John to pull them over and they had a blast testing it out. 

It is such an adventure living in Wisconsin. While we were out shoveling and plowing off the driveway the other day we watched snowmobiles drive down our street! One lady even drove by with her dog on her lap!

This morning the boys frosted sugar cookies. Shane frosted graham crackers because he couldn't eat the cookies since they contained milk and eggs, but he didn't seem to mind. He loved adding sprinkles to his crackers and ended up with more sprinkles than frosting when all was said and done!

Tonight we went to church and then sprinkled our reindeer food all around the house. We let the boys open one gift before bed and they were thrilled. Then they got their plate of cookies ready for Santa and we sent them to bed with strict instructions about what time is an acceptable wake up time. I hope that they were all listening because all of this quality time with the boys is really tiring us out!
