We have had a party-ful Christmas week. It has been really fun.

Yeah, these are some of Coopers legos that Cade put together for him. It was actually pretty complicated, Cade did a good job.
Of course we had the Christmas eve and Day get togethers, then Saturday we had a DeRusha mexican food lunch party. It was really fun. Bri and I cooked all the enchiladas and rice, I think we did a fabulous job! My sisters and I sang a cool arrangement of Silent Night for everybody, and my Aunt Del and my 2 cute cousins came over for a little while which was fun to catch up with them. 2 of my Cute sisters
This hook board is what my dad made me for Christmas. It is a real pieceof distressed barn siding. Mark put it up in the hallway by the laundry room for the kids to put their backpacks and jackets on after school. I covered the magnet board with fabric and will use it to help us be more organized on school days. YAY! Soon hopefully it will have a bench underneath it with cubbies for shoes.
My sister Bri was so sweet to set up her massage table and give all the kids real massages. It was a real treat for them. Then after we opened our awesome presents and ate dessert some of us adults went to see Valkyrie. Then my dad was so nice to take Cade and Dayton to Thatcher with him for the week. It Dayton was so excited to be a big kid and go without mommy on a trip. He really insisted that he would be fine and not miss me too much or cry. It has been so wierd without the little DeetDog around here. It has been cool to see Wyatt and Cooper spend some nice peaceful time together too.
Sunday night we had Marks cousin Scottie and his wife over with their 2 cute little guys, Jones and Maine. I got to give Jones his first hair cut. We are so excited for them to move to AZ in the spring.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

I wish I could be a fly on your wall at Christmas. I'm sure your kids had a blast!
