This was Breck's last testing at Karate for awhile. We decided to have him take a break from it and maybe get him into skiing and tee-ball this year. We want him to have a chance to do different activities. He did enjoy karate alot and it's hard to have him not go for awhile. But if he doesn't like any of the other activites and he likes karate better we'll get him back in it. 
Today we took the kids sledding. They had alot of fun. Breck could've stayed there for hours if we would've let him.
It was McKenna's first time sledding. She had fun. We need to get another sled so Trav and I can take a kid each and go down the hills. 
So all my kids (Husband included) love the snow and cold weather. Me on the other hand don't really care for it. But I try not to be a party pooper and enjoy as much as I can. :)
We had a reaaly great Christmas this year. Breck was really into it and couldn't get the gifts unwrapped quick enough. Now McKenna was taking her on sweet time and it was driving Breck nuts that he had to help her.
He was so excited about this Mickey Mouse car race that he asked Santa for. 
McKenna loved her new dolly and stroller. She pushed that stroller all around that kitchen all day. We enjoyed being with both our families over the Christmas holiday. We want to tell them thanks for all the great gifts you gave us and coming and visiting us. 
My mom and I made these cookie trains for some of my neighobors for Christmas. And of course one for Breck and McKenna. They're really easy to make and I had fun making them with my mom.
We took the kids to go see Santa and some reindeer at Quilted Bear last weekend. Breck went right up to him and sat on his lap. McKenna on the other hand was holding on to her daddy as tight as she could. Travis tried sitting next to him with McKenna and she started crying. I wish that we would've put her on his lap still. It would've probably made a great picture. Oh well.
But she did love seeing the reindeer. She loves animals. 
I tried to get a picture of the kids together since they were dressed nice for Thanksgiving. But that was a joke. So I settled for taking seperate ones. McKenna loves her picture taken.
Breck does too, but he acts goofy when I take them. I get either a silly smile or no smile at all. We had a very nice Thanksgiving. We went to both of our family's dinners and had a good time at both. We are thankful for having such great family's.
We decided to get some family picutres done with Teton. Trav's dad took these above. I think they turned out good. After we got them done his dad told us that they weren't focused. We hadn't seen them yet. We decided to get them taken again before the weather got bad just in case. I think we got some great pictures from each time. Thanks Joe for taking some great pictures.
My dad took these ones and they also turned out good. Thanks Dad.
We've learned that it is hard to get a good picture of everyone. Especially when you are dealing with two active kids and a dog.
