Some December Highlights....

...
Took The boys to see Santa.

Landen hopped up on Santa's lap and rattled off a huge list 

of things he wants for Christmas. 

That kid cracks me up. 

Cody didn't even say one word to Santa. 

Took his picture and ran off with his friends.

Then there was Crew!

He would not go near the guy. 

But then the rest of the day 

all he would talk about was seeing Santa. :)

...

The Joy and Pain of getting the "perfect" Family picture.

I dread this event every year.

Some years it does not even happen.

It was time!

We payed each kid $1.00 to just smile and be good!!!!

I think we did alright. 

...

A few months back Matt taught 

the 2 older boys how to play Chess. 

This has since become a regular 

thing around here.

Crew is so funny when he 

thinks he is playing.

He moves the guys around and then says, check!

  

...

This was the project of the century!

I had a HUGE vinyl job. 

I spent many, many, many, many,

many, many, hours on this.

I will say as time consuming as it

was; I was so thankful to have it.

I did 90 of these suckers!

From this one job I was able 

to pay off doctor bills and pay

for our Christmas.

...

I then made enough 

Chocolate covered pretzels

to feed an army!

Picture this tray times 4.

And that was just for one shift!

I made this 3 different times.

Good thing I enjoy it so much. :)

One night me & the boys 

delivered them through out

our neighborhood.

They kept telling me how 

much fun this was. 

Cody & Landen took turns

running up to the door 

to deliver some Christmas cheer!

 

...

We have enjoyed a few 

SNOW DAYS!!!

Cody is awesome when it snows.

He loves to shovel the driveway & front walks.

He takes this job on all by himself

without even being asked. 

How great is that!

...

Landen's Preschool Christmas Program.

It was short, sweet and adorable, I tell you!

They sang songs then we all

indulged on homemade goodies that

everyone brought. Yum!!

...

Now to "wrap up" the highlights of December

I end with The annual Lowry Christmas Party!

This year we had a theme.

It was the UGLY Christmas sweater party.

Woo! Hoo!

Those who participated were awesome.

My favs were Dave & Sue's Family

and my step-dad Dan!

Hilarious!

It was a great night had by all.

I don't even know where to start with

all the great pictures from this

crazy party we had.

So I just picked random fun ones.
