December 31, 2012...where has the year gone?!?!?

Well, I did it!  I can't believe that the year is over already!



Well, it was a lot of fun looking through the last year of photos.  
I am going to keep going, at least for a little while.

When Clay & I went to check on the kids last night, we found Ethan like this:

He was sharing the bump out portion of the castle with Seth.  We decided to lay him down on the mattress and he had a mark where his cheek was resting on the window.

I finally got Maggie to let me french braid her hair.  
She looks great with her hair out of her eyes!

We got a new Elf door for our tree.  
Maggie said it didn't look right because it hasn't snowed yet.

Our December Meeting: Baking with Anjali, Katelyn & Maggie.
The boys were hanging out in the bungy chair while the Scouts were baking.

When I went in to wake the boys this morning, I found all 
their 'friends' hanging out in the Portcullis.

Time to make the Teacher gifts.
Just some tiles from Home Depot, some StazOn ink and my stamps.
Back for 30 minutes to set the ink.
After they cooled, I colored them with Sharpie Markers.
 I love Rudolph, but the snowmen are still my favorite.
I think they turned out cute and I hope the teachers do too!

Sometimes, even though it is bedtime, you need to say yes to playing a quick game of bowling.

Poor Clay has been working long hours for the last 7 days and came home at bedtime tonight hoping he wasn't too late to play Wii with the kids for a little bit.  Yep, even the Mean Mom knew that they should spend some time with Dad.

Maggie won by the way.  Clay and Seth tied and Ethan was close behind them.

This is what Maggie saw when she went upstairs.

Thankfully, he is a boy and it is so easy to buzz his hair.
 He cut the hair that was on his forehead and his 'lucky' hair at the crown of his head.  
The funny thing is Clay asked the boys last weekend if they wanted to go get haircuts.  Evidently last weekend was too soon, but last night it needed to go.

What is cuter than Kitty Boy by the Christmas tree?

Why my Camo boy of course!

 Maggie doing her math homework.

Um, when she saw me taking the picture she kicked the camera and it hit me in the face. 
I dare say she does not want a picture of homework time to remember it.

Boothy trying to blend in with Ethan's Camo.
I think he did a pretty good job.

Gotta love the Santa Truck.  
Every year Santa, Rudolf, Frosty and the Firemen come down our street.
Guess who my favorite is?  



Frosty of Course.

Our Little Elf.

We got to March in the Holiday Parade with the Cub Scouts.
It was a lot of fun.  There was a lot of candy thrown...or should I say handed out.

Of all the pictures I have taken this year, this is definitely one of my favorites! 
I am not even sure how she got under there.
