Hebdon Family Celebration Weekend!

A few years again the Hebdon's started the tradition of having everyone meet at their house the weekend before Christmas. It is so fun for the kids. We have our live nativity which the kids love and we also have a kids craft and a mom's craft. We get to open all the cousin exchange gifts and the sibling exchanges. We had so much fun. It gets pretty crazy but it is all worth is in the end. Memories are great!

The kids got to decorate their own gingerbread house.

Preperations before the live nativity.


Derek was baby Jesus. He had fun playing in the straw.

Tanner and Kent were both Wisemen. They came bearing gifts. Kent's gift was a pacifier because Derek was getting a little grumpy.

Bryce was a sheperd.

Makenzie was an angel again. She loves being one of the angels.

Here are the cast members.

Christmas Recital!

Christmas recital time again. Kenzie loves to dance and adores her dance teacher.

Homeschooling!

Okay so I guess a lot of you may think I'm crazy (well except Brooke and Jaclyn) but I have decide to home school Tanner and Makenzie. I'm starting in January. All I can say is it just feels right. I know life will be a lot crazier during the day for the first little while but then hopefully we will get into a routine. Wish me luck!

Happy Halloween!

The day is finally here. The kids have been waiting for this for weeks. They love dressing up. We went to the Ward truck or trick then came home and walked around our block. I'm super glad the weather was so wonderful. The kids all looks so cute in their costumes.

I am Darth Vader. Tanner totally looked the part.

My four little sweethearts that I love soooo much.

Scouts!

Tanner loves scouts. He received an award at the last pack meeting. It is so cute to see him want to accomplish these goals. He is a true trooper. On Friday he didn't have any school so we sat down and spent two hours working on some of his WOLF requirements and a few extras.

About Bears!

This week we have been dealing with sicknesses. Kenzie has been home trying to get better. So sense she has been home we have been reading books and watch way to much TV. So while watching tv she learned some facts about bears. So she tells me. "Mom did you know that bears eat lots of food then they dehydrate." It was just way to cute I had a hard time correcting her. I just said, "You mean Hybernate." She repeats, "Yes, hybernate." She was so proud of herself.

Dancing at the Fair

We went as a family to the Central Washington Fair here in Yakima today to watch Kenzie Dance. She was so cute as always in her costume.
