Christmas with Clarke's

The boys got cool pillowcases that Granny made and pillows and Makayla got a cute pink coat that Granny made her. We played games and had lots of fun together.

Sledding Fun!

Ryan took the kids sledding behing the Ranger, they went around and around the little block that we live on. The kids had so much fun. When they were done, were comes a police car! Someone called the cops on us for taking the kids sledding behind the truck!!! Fun haters!!!! The cop told Ryan that it's a safety hazard and to not do it again, fine we'll just go to Hooper and go sledding!

Makayla's 8th Birthday Party

Makayla really wanted a friend birthday party this year, so we did. She wanted to have a Christmas birthday party, we had pizza, played pin the nose on Rudolph, decorated Christmas sugar cookies, opened presents, sang "Happy Birthday" and played "Down by the Banks". The girls were crazy and had lots of fun. I can't believe that your 8 and getting baptized! We sure do love you!!!

My Family

LOVE THEM!!!!

Houghton Family Christmas Party

The annual Christmas party with Aunt Tammy and Grandma Verna. Grandpa Houghton plays "Santa" and hands out presents from Aunt Tammy. The kids really look forward to sitting on Grandpa's lap. We had a yummy ham dinner and Misty had the kids make reindeer cupcakes.

Happy Birthday Makayla, Bryon and BranDee!!!

On Sunday we celebrated all the December birthdays. Sunday was BranDee's real birthday! Makayla and Bryon share a birthday on December 16th. We sang "Happy Birthday" 3 different times and my mom had the right amount of candles on the cake for each person. (3 times is a little overwhelming if you know how my family sings "Happy Birthday"!) Happy Birthday guys!

Gingerbread Houses

Every year we get together and make gingerbread houses. It's so much fun to have such fun traditions we can count on doing every year!
