Sometimes when Austin and Klayton get together and you take their electronics away they can get pretty creative. Using computer paper they made owls with a little house that they could go into on the left. There is a moon with yellow stars and next to the moon is the owls food (pencil shavings) in a paper bowl.
This little cutie turned 4 months and rolled over for the first time on Austin's birthday. Of course I didn't see it because I had walked out of the room to help Mikayla and when I came back she was like this.
Look! No hands!
During winter break, we took the opportunity to go to the Phillips pool.
And while the girls were swimming the boys played some basketball.
Then we all went bowling.
Brooklyn did some bowling too but decided to take a nap instead.
This one too!
Austin enjoyed his dig and find Christmas gift. He carefully chiseled away the sand to find the gems.
On December 28th we got our first snow of the season. The kids were so excited.
Even Brooklyn ventured out into the snow.
Austin and Mikayla built a snowman together using soda bottle caps Austin had saved for the face and buttons. Then they had a snowball fight with some neighborhood kids. 
Kristi invited the girls to make watermelon sugar cookies with her.
Maybe not the most professional looking cookies but they were still delicious and the memories made priceless!
For New Years we got together with a couple friends and had a great time.
We started the night off with steak fondue which was delicious. Then later in the evening we did chocolate fondue. It was heaven!
My friend went above and beyond and threw one awesome party! Not only did we have delicious food but then the kids got to pop these balloons at different times of the night and inside was written a fun activity to do such as scavenger hunt, games, new years resolutions, disco dance party, etc...I didn't take any pictures but luckily was able to snag some from her.
One of the games was getting an oreo from your forehead to your mouth without touching it.
That's right...I did it! Talk about some skills!
Wasn't sure how Brooklyn would do but she held out till midnight without too much drama!
And Katelyn was great although she did not make it till midnight and found a place to sleep.
Austin's Year In Review answers made me laugh.
Things that I worked hard on this year are: trying to not let Mikayla bother me
My goals next year are: to try to get off the computer for 3 days in a row
Haha!
Happy New Year!!
