Merry Christmas

We all hope each and everyone had a very wonderful Christmas season. Here are some highlights from our many days of celebrations.

Frosty Lives!!!

All it took was a brand new battery and a little tweaking and it works!!!

St. Nicholas Day and Breakfast with Santa

The kids woke up to find goodies in their stockings from St. Nicholas. Connor consumed all of his chocolate coins before he even left for 9:00 mass and breakfast with the jolly old big man. Connor was happy to see Santa because he was giving out candy. He actually told Santa he wants "Campers", I guess the boy likes to camp. Keira handled it well too and didnt freak out. This is the first pic of the kids with Santa and us not in the shot. :)

Christmas tree decorating

The kids all had a good time decorating the Christmas tree, now if only I can stop Connor from plugging it in on his own and rearranging all the ornaments and eating all the candy canes off..... Boys, I tell you!!

Thanksgiving

We spent some time out at the farm for Thanksgiving. Keira was learning how to use the slot machines, Connor was taking up the welding trade, Megan was off socializing, Max was in Indiana and Bill was wanting another baby.

Halloween

It was quite chilly going trick or treating this year, so the kids costumes were kind of covered by their coats.
Connor and Keira were Beauty and the Beast
Megan was a dead prom queen
Max was Frankenstein

Megan took 3rd place at the costume contest and Max took 2nd. The twins probably would have taken first, but both of them had a complete meltdown right before judging :)

Pumpkin carving

Here are some pics from pumpkin carving the other night. Keira was pulling out 1 seed at a time and Connor just wanted all of the sharp items to play with :)

Pumpkin Farm

We finally got out to the pumpkin farm to see the displays after many weekends of really crappy weather. Megan decided she was to old to go with us and stayed at her friends house. The weather wasnt the best, but at least it wasnt raining.

OLH Homecoming

We all attended the OLH homecoming game and even though we lost all the games, we still had a good time. The twins really enjoyed the playground and Max and Megan were running around with friends.
As you can see I never did get any pics of the "real" children just the babies..

Daddy Dinosaur Time

One Saturday when I was at work, Bill packed up all the kiddies and went to the Kenosha Dinosaur museum. It is just a small little museum, but it looks like the kids had a good time.

Random Kid pics

Here are a few random shots that were taken of the kids..

Girl Scout Corn Maze

Once again the girl scout troop went to Kroll's farm for the corn maze and hay ride. The weather held out just long enough for us so we didnt get rained on. The girls had a good time. After the maze Megan had to rush off to a birthday party :)

Megan's Volleyball season

We have been so busy with Megan's first year of volleyball at school. She really enjoyed the season and they only lost a few games. We had many practices and a few games each week. Here is a pic from the season.. She also was voted the most improved all around player.

Sorry it took so long to post:)
