Letters To Santa

This was a tradition we did when I was little

we wrote letters to santa about what we wanted

then the next day or in a couple days he took our letter and left an ornament!

 Chasen picked the paper and wrote our names on the top

chasen asked for a walking dino, walking monkey and zebra, a walking pig.... you get the idea...he wants a zoo hahaha ;)

  it took a couple days but santa took the letter and left chasen a tractor ornament, dad a tool belt ornament, mom a red ornament with the letter A and Dashtyn a baby's first Christmas ornament

 

now we wait to see if he brings presents!!!

She Did It!

Alyssa graduated from College this past Saturday

Christmas Fort

Ean bought a 73 inch TV and I hate it.

But the box made for and awesome fort for the boys!

Christmas stars

 

 Ean cut in 5 windows a C for Chasen and D for Dashtyn

and a door with knobs

 probably should have waited until Christmas morning and just used it as a gift!

It's a hotel, water park, arcade, go Kart, bowling and casino!!

First stop was the arcade then some mac and cheese

then we checked into our suite with  balcony, and a view of the water park

and a king size bed and 3 bunk beds.

 Then it was go kart time the boys got to go in the mini go karts alone
