Richmond 2nd Ward Christmas dinner and program

Last night we went to our ward Christmas Party. It was packed. I just love our ward. The primary kids acted out the nativity and sang silent night. It was adorable. Brad was a Shepard and Claire was an angel. All the tiny sheep running around the stage was so cute. 


After dessert Santa showed up. Harrison's reaction was priceless. He jumped up and down screaming and yelling. He was so excited. 


I didn't think he would sit on his lap. He loved it and is still talking about Santa today. 

Loving this new snow!!

We took full advantage of all the new snow this week. Friday was the start of Christmas break. Randy took half a day off and we played with the kids outside all afternoon. 




At first we started sledding in the front yard. That got boring so Randy called Nate who was also home and they pulled the kids around behind the 4 wheeler. 



This went on for hours!!! It was so fun!!!





Even the little kids loved it!!! I was surprised. I thought they would be scared but they kept saying again, again, again!!!



Brad ate it pretty good a couple of times!!!







Lyndsee and Claire rode together most of the time. 





What a fun day!!! Bring on the snow and hooray for Christmas break! Randy has off until after New Year. I can't wait for some serious family time. 

Jump Rope Club

Brad and Claire got to show off their jump rope skills last week. Brad has been in the jump rope club since Kindergarten and Claire just started this year. It is such a great way for them to get some exercise and blow off some steam before school. 


It was nearly impossible to get good pictures. The lighting was bad and they were moving too much. 




One of the best parts is being in the Richmond City Parade at the end of the year. 

Double Trouble...

These two are either laughing, fighting or being suspiciously too quiet...



 They have a love hate relationship. 


This was one of those moments where they were quiet in the bedroom for too long. Reagan found the lotion and managed to get it on every surface possible in Harrison's room...including Harrison.  Harrison was freaking out and Reagan was laughing. She is such a cute little stinker. Kamie said she has done this at home too. 





This is her new thing to do... I have to hide the lotion every time she is over and she still finds it. She is a Houdini. 


Good thing she is so cute. 

Reiman Family Christmas Party


Before Mom would feed us she made us go caroling to some friends in the ward. We went all the time when we were younger. We haven't done it for a really long time so my mom begged us to go.  It was FREEZING!!! We would sing as fast as we could then jump back in the cars. We were cold and hungry by the time we got back. 







Steven makes everything more fun!!!





Eric and Randy were hogging the jam and rolls at this end of the table. 






After dinner we did our gift exchange. It was so fun to watch the cousins exchange gifts. 




Kirsti and Whitters are both old enough to get makeup, polish and big girl stuff. Time is flying so fast. 



You would think Corbin and Jake had died and gone to heaven with these simple legos. These two are so easy to please. 


Harrison got this guitar that he has been playing for days. It was a hit. 

We had to drive home in a big huge snowstorm. Randy asked the kids if they wanted him to do some donuts in a parking lot. Brad of course yelled yes and Claire said "As long as we get to have hot chocolate when we are done!" She is so funny.
