Christmas with the Pedersen's

We went and ate at Village Inn with the cousins. Then we went to my moms house for Christmas eve and lots of fun. It was a great time

Family Night at Code and Stacee's

Every year Cody and Stacee have a family night in December where the kids put on the nativity and we have a Christmas program. It's one of the best times of year. Patrice sings and always sounds so good and brings the spirit so strong. One of my favorite nights in December.

Hawk and Cole

Hawk is a good brother, and takes care of Cole all the time. He loves to make him a house out of pillows, he gets toys and sits and relaxes with him. Love these two.

Patrice's Christmas village

Patrice debates every year to put up her Christmas village, this year she decided to do it. It looks great and the kids love it

Christmas Village

Got out of the house and went to Christmas Village. We watched our friend preform and then went and found Grandma Pedersens house she decorates.

Conversation with Bode

Bode, Hawk, and I were out playing basketball yesterday Bode turned around and ran over hawk. He got up and had a bloody lip a bloody nose and was screaming so we ran inside Bode was screaming at Patrice to hurry up and open the door. When we got inside the baby was crying because he was starving and everyone was in a panic. So we went and got hawk in the tub and all cleaned up and when I went to the kitchen I down Bode there, He turns to me and says "dad we have too many kids". It was so funny

Lemonlimes

Patrice buys little clementine oranges for the kids. Raini loves them and always asks if she can have a lemonlime. Love my kids. This is them gathered around the garbage peeling a lemonlime

O Christmas Tree

One if my favorite things each year is cutting down and setting up our Christmas tree. Patrice hates putting on the lights every year and swears that she will not do it again, but lo and behold she does a great job every year. There is just a special spirit at Christmas that I love.

Baby Cole

Patrice left me with baby cole for the night and he was starving so I decided to feed him some baby food; he couldn't get enough. This is him grabbing the spoon wanting to eat the spoon

Worms

Black Island Farms
