The scoreboard. Landon did pretty good this year. He won some and lost some....and had a really good time racing his car with his friends.

4th grade basketball

Landon's team was named the "Blasts" this year. He had so much fun playing basketball with his friends. It was really fun for us to watch as well. He really got into it this year and was way more aggressive with the ball on both offense and defense. I think he came out with bruises a couple of times after diving after a ball.

Good times....

One of the best parts about Christmas vacation is that we get to hang out with family that we don't get to see very often.
Melanie and Shelby at the bead table. Yes, we took over my mother's dining room and made bracelets, necklaces, and watches galore for two days. It was crazy!

Who needs a whole bunch of new Christmas presents when you can go for a ride in a laundry basket? :0) Mackenzee and Paige were being super silly together.

Talon got this new wicked awesome electric drum set that Riley was super excited about. The kids had a lot of fun trying out the different sounds and making up songs. Mackenzee was the dancing entertainment....

Mackenzee's Christmas dress

We have a tradition that the kids get to open up one present on Christmas Eve. Mackenzee picked the present the Landon got for her, which was a 'Princess and the Frog' doll set. She was super excited.

Landon picked the box that had the latest installment of the 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' book series. He was so excited and had the book read within 24 hours. :0)

Mackenzee decided this year that Jaysen really needed a Bronco snuggie and a football for Christmas. I'm not sure how she came up with this, but she was SURE that this was going to be the BEST present EVER. :0)

Christmas Eve 2009 was spent with the Burnham family in Jerome. As usual we ate good food, played Bingo, and did Christmas jammies for the kids. Jaysen was the big money winner in the "right, left" card passing game, too. This year was also a first for Landon as he has always been gone on the years we have spent with the Burnham's. So, this was his first official Burnham Christmas Eve.
