New Years Eve 2012

New Years Eve was spent just us hanging out together.  We watched a movie in our movie room and then watched the ball drop in NYC.  The kids all had fun!

I took this picture at 12 midnight!

Happy New Year!  I hope this year is a great one!

Snowmobiling!

Mark and the kids are taking advantage of snowmobiling!  They are excited that this year we have enough snow!  Alyssah LOVES going, it is so much fun to see her smiling face while she is riding!

The faster the better!

I LOVE her smile in this blurry picture!  She LOVES riding on the snowmobile!

Christmas #2

We had our 2nd Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa Torno's

Grandpa got a nice picture of his old truck that Mark took a few years ago.

Alyssah loving her presents.

Money!!  Seriously, BEST GIFT EVER!  They don't even use the other ones.

More money!

Carol's book

Alyssah LOVES her new cheerleading outfit for Kit!  

Christmas at Grandma's and Grandpa's 2012

We had our first Christmas in Fargo with my parents.  We usually do that, so this year was no exception!

Grandpa Dave was reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to Alyssah.  She has such a goofy face here!  I love it!

Much better! ;)

Alyssah and her fancy dress, and Kit in the same dress!

Josh was pretty excited about his gift card to scheels!  They LOVE gift cards!

A new game for the DS!

Alyssah LOVES little dolls, and these are perfect!

Josh got Jake a basketball for Christmas!  He was SUPER excited!

Alyssah with her Disney gift card!  They each got one worth $50! Perfect to use at Disneyland, then we don't have to worry about carrying cash!

My mom and her book!  She loves to get them!  My Grandma LOVED hers too!  I am glad I make them for them, especially because they love it!

Alyssah gave Daddy a hunting cup!

Josh was really excited about his cell phone cover!  It is Vikings!

Looking at Lights!

We took the kids out looking at lights, shortly before christmas.  They had fun, and I am glad we did this.  Alyssah would get really excited to see different houses.

 

 

All ready to go!

 

There were a lot of houses that looked like this!

 

A good time was had by all!

COOKIES!

My kids LOVE decorating cookies!  I don't like to do it, but they love it, so we do it!  They are so happy to help me out!

 

 

Jake and Alyssah doing their christmas trees, they really thought it was cool to make them!

 

I had enough stuff to make, so they made 3 each!

 

Josh waited til the next day to make his.

 

Sugar cookies!!  (big pain in the butt, but they really love it)

 

Frosting them!  They each made one special for Santa too.

 

 

 

This one was special for Alyssah!  She gobbled this up shortly after the picture was taken :)

Jake also worked hard on his too.

 

Josh didn't care really to decorate many, he did a few, I think he thinks he's too cool for this! Haha! ;)
