We love snow!

Fun sledding down the little hills by our house, building a small "baby snowman", and eating snow.

Kirchhoff Christmas

We wanna sit by Uncle Jon!! (and wrestle)

Santa visit and more

This sign appeared on the kids' bedroom door after they visited Santa- Jordon said it was a reminder for them to do what Santa said.

I was so proud of the kids, especially Jordon with this one. We say prayers at night and often pray for those less fortunate than us. One night Jordon decided he wanted to donate some toys to other kids, and he convinced Tristan to help go through their things. They packaged up several boxes and kept after Mom and Dad until we found a shelter to donate them too. They really gave away some pretty cool stuff! Jordon is really a very thoughtful, caring and sensitive boy. He is a good influence on Tristan (most of the time)!

Santa visit with cookies at Hospice House

Jordon has never been too thrilled to sit on Santa's lap, but we weren't expecting this reaction this year! Poor guy. This is the best Santa and he had a way of making everything ok by the end

of their visit.

Kids' Christmas programs

December 22, 2015-- Tristan with his Kidz Inc pre-school class doing a performance of Christmas

Around the World. We got most of it on video too. Tristan has been singing for weeks at home, practicing his songs. His teacher, Miss Lori, had told me a few days prior to the performance that he was a star student, and did a great job with singing and mannerisms during performance. She said she asked him if he took theatre classes and he said "no". We told him before the show to do it just like he practiced and not be nervous. He said "I'm not gonna be afraid of any parent!". And he strutted in the church like he owned the place. Don and I were so proud. We missed getting the entrance on video but got most of the rest of it recorded. Very entertaining! Grandma was glad she came too! And the boys enjoyed the cookies afterwards.
