Some Christmas shots

The pictures from the Stoffers Family Christmas are great! It looks like you had a really nice time in Utah. We had a really great time with family, too. Everyone was here for a few days leading up to Christmas, then left Christmas day.

Derek had a couple vacation days to use before the end of the year, so we went up to Frankenmuth for a couple days. The kids LOVE the water park. We all had a great time, and got some much needed R and R after hosting everyone for Christmas.

Katie's pretty bummed we had to go. She's pulling her little bag out to the car... very sad :(

We went to Bronner's, The Christmas Store, after we checked out. Mikey LOVES Nutcrackers. He was really excited to see the giant one outside the store.

Our trip to Utah is booked. We arrive late on Feb 23, and leave in the afternoon of Feb 28. Should be a good time!

Christmas 2010 at the Stoffers

Charlise helping Grammy with dishes.
Playing Uncle Galen's video games with Ky . . . bliss for the boys.
We loved playing with our cousins. I loved getting so much adult conversation. I gotta get out more or something.
Grandma Polly with some of her great grandkids. We were all hoping for some more orange soda in her food, but no such luck.
Good times . . . poor Jamie was chucking this night. Alie was feeding the babies. I would have had more pics but I lost my battery charger for my camera in the move. So, I only have a few. I have to wait till Dad develops his old school photos he took, since mom couldn't find her camera while we were there. Dangit! We had a GREAT time seeing everyone! LOVED IT!!!!! Joni, we miss seeing you guys!!! Let us know when you are coming out for a visit!!!

So, Jarom got some free tickets to Disneyland from work. Guess who got an early 8th birthday present!? Jarom took him out of school last Friday and went. Eli was SOOOOOOOOOO excited!!!! I'm sure he won't remember it by the time his birthday rolls around in June. Oh well!
Wait, is Halloween over?
My kids didn't get that memo. It's a costume party over here about every day!

new pics

S0 i finally got the kids pics taken!! Here r a few that would upload...so fun

Happy Holidays!

I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. We had a great weekend in Grand Rapids with my sister, Jackie. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Mikey at his preschool Thanksgiving Feast.

Katie wanted to try his feather on.

Mikey enjoyed every bite of that turkey leg... the only thing he ate for dinner.

Katie in her sleeping mask... it didn't help. She wouldn't fall asleep that night, even after turkey.

On Friday we met one of my girlfriends and her family at the Grand Rapids Children's Museum.

We put up Christmas tree today - our first real one!

I love this pic of zac trying to get away from mickey!
