Payton turned 7 years old on December 30th. We had a little party at home that day. Because of moving we waited until January to have a bigger party with all his friends. Payton wanted his party at Chuck E. Cheese. It was a dream come true for a bunch of boys... video games, pizza, cake & fun prizes.
Everyone loved hugs from the big mouse!
We celebrated New Year's Eve at our friends house. Grandpa & Grandma Scott sent a New Year's Eve survival package, complete with hats, silly string, horns and lots of other noise makers! Perfect for ringing in the new year.

Christmas morning the boys woke up to find that Santa had come and brought plenty of cool GI Joe guys, tanks, helicopters, video games... We spent the entire day playing and relaxing.

Someone special surprised us with Christmas cheer every night for the twelve days of Christmas. The kids enjoyed awaiting a knock at the door each night.

Brian did take a break from dear hunting for some pheasant hunting. Success!
Cole was so excited it snowed. He has been dying to wear his Spiderman snow boots!
