The boys had to miss the Turkey Bowl because of prior commitments (like going with Grandma and Grandpa to Utah to play with MAXAMILIANO!!). To make it up to them we held the Reindeer Game. Jens was not interested in playing football in 15 degree weather, so she stayed home and did her nails. She definitely learned that from her mother.
It was cold and the snow was crunchy, but it was a beautiful day.
We didn't get the biggest turnout for the game, but it was still a lot of fun.
Ryker has been playing Madden lately, so when his team had the ball I asked him what he wanted to do, he said "shotgun, flex right, Hawks dig". So we did and it worked, sort of.
Jens ultimately felt a little left out, so she decided she needed some alone time with me. We went to North Shore Cafe for lunch.
I ordered her a small shake, but apparently when you are cute like she is the small shake comes a little big.
She ordered fancy mac and cheese (chicken fetticcini alfredo) and slurped it up.
Rock had been bit by the snowboarding bug and is always trying to find some sweet powder to shred.
He knows how to work smarter, and not harder. He packs his board and hot cocoa in a sled for easy transportation.
D-Rell showed up the day before Christmas rocking his California man bun. He needs to get out of Cali before they turn him into a sandal wearing, no showering, sprout farting hippie.
He takes his Dora very serious.
Mom and dad have six kids, and yet Mom decided that only five pictures was enough to represent her children. Thank a lot, Mom.
Kids! Energy! Noise! Christmas!
Naked D-Rell!
MaxGato thought it would be fun to claw the everloving crap out of Jens' face.
Rissa tried to read a Christmas book on Christmas Eve, the kids paid attention intermittently.
Eventually the kids were put in their rooms and Santa Claus could begin his duties.
The children said they were going to stay up all night. They made it to 10pm.
Mommy only made it until midnight before she crashed.
Christmas Day began somewhere between 4:30 and 6am. The kids were obviously enthused with the prospect of great presents and candy.
Jens asked for, and received, a hockey stick to use against her bigger brodders.
She has it all figured out.
The boys begged for arm sleeves, like the kind that you wear when locking down a number one receiver
Ryker received his own computer for youtubing and Prodigying.
Jens received some cool kitty cat earphones to wear while watching shows. Not having to hear Fuller House all night long is the gift I gave myself.
D-Rell was the cute little Christmas elf. At this point you may wonder where MadBum is; she did not want her picture taken and ran every time I tried.
Jens finally figured a way to cover up her MaxGato scars.
The day of fun finally caught up to Ryker. What a Merry Christmas!
