Holiday Fun!
We had a pretty fun holiday season for our family! First we made an adorable gingerbread house, which won first place in the Lage Family gingerbread house contest. It was a lot of fun but a lot of mess too! It was complete with trees, people, and a dog house for Douglas. Then of course we had to do our annual Christmas goody bake-off, which was very yummy.
It was nice to see all of our family, including Jamie, Justin, and Lexi who came to visit from Utah. Of course there was the usual family drama (all on the Walpole side of course), but we love them anyway!
Santa came and brought way too much stuff to our house this year, but of course the kids weren't complaining about that. It took them three hours to get through all their presents. The girls both got their own vanity and dress-up clothes, which I can't seem to get them out of. Brandon got a big tractor with a trailer and plow so he was as happy as could be. Christmas is a blast when your kids are little. One day they will be bratty teenagers who are picky and never like anything you get for them. Boy, I can't wait!
Now it's nice to have life back to normal, well at least as normal as our lives get. We manage to stay very busy, which I guess is a good thing. We can't wait for the weather to get warm so we can get outside. The farm show is coming up in a couple of weeks so the boys are real excited for that! It's like Christmas all over again for them. I'll have to make sure I get some pictures of the kids in the big equipment to put on here.
