We Are NOT Smarter Than a 5th Grader!

We got the game "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader"  for Christmas and played it one night.  What we learned is that we are NOT smarter than a 5th grader!!  But we did try! There are no pictures of me because I snuck these pictures of everyone else and no one snuck any of me...smart people! (just not as smart as a 5th grader... he he!)

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2011

Our Christmas was wonderful!  It would have been nice to see some more family and friends but minus that it was a great holiday for us! At least this year I didn't have to work!    The traditional Christmas Eve roving tree and Santa visit...    Grandpa Gary and Grandma Teri came for dinner and brought presents for the kids.  They loved their presents!!  It was a good evening and the kids really enjoyed their visit. Just before bed the kids opened their Christmas PJ's, which were blue cozy robes. Rylee kept checking out the presents they would get to unwrap the next morning, he was SOO excited! They made cookies and set out cookies and milk for Santa. Then it was Christmas morning!!  The kids woke up really, really early!  They woke up at around 3:30, or at least Dylan did. They waited for Kirk and I to get up and finally decided to wake us up at 6:30 am.  Sounds like they had pati...

Christmas Program and Band Concert

Rylee's school Christmas Program.  He's the cute guy in the front row with a black sweater with red/white stripes across the front.  Rylee LOVED the Christmas songs this year, he sings them all the time.  I love that he is so into the holidays! Sorry about the shaky video!     Dylan's band concert. These are the 6th graders. They did such a great job this year and made huge improvements from last year. Dylan is the one that is second on the right playing the trumpet. We are so proud of him for working hard at learning this new instrument.
