Family Bike Ride

So we finally got to have our first family bike ride. We have been wanting to start having family bike rides. Usually when we went to the park Peter and the kids would ride their bikes and I would walk with Noah in the stroller. Then our neighbors gave us a bike trailer since their kids have outgrown it and can ride their own bikes now. So it seemed all we needed was a bike for me, so I told Peter that was all I wanted for Christmas. Then a couple of days before Christmas a neighbor kid asked Peter to let him ride his bike, he is a good kid who plays with our kids often, so Peter let him and of course he broke the bike. Then I got a bike for Christmas and we were waiting on the two parts Peter ordered on ebay for his bike, which took forever. So the parts come and Peter fixes the bike, it needs to be ajusted but it will work in certin gears. So Peter hooks up the trailer to his bike and loads all four kids in it to take a test drive and the kids love it. So we are now ready for our first family bike ride, Peter put Noah and Abbie in the trailer, which upset Daniel because he wanted to ride too, and off we go we started to go around the block. It seemed to me that Peter seemed to be peddling alot faster than me, so I asked if he was trying to get a work out or if he was in the wrong gear. So he tried to change gears and the chain broke. So he ended up have to push his bike like a scooter the rest of the way home and thus ended our first family bike ride. Now his bike is in the shop and we can try again next week.

Christmas = Family

Christmas Sunday

Our Gingerbread House

New Pajamas and Hats

Christmas Eve we had lots of fun in the snow, Sammy and Pete built a snowman and a snow castle (using a trash can). Noah walked around picking up snow and throwing it and eating it, Daniel just ran around dodging the snow balls Peter was throwing. Abbie was throwing her own, and eating the snow. We were just in time, the next morning all the snow was almost gone along with the snow man.

Santa came and reminded the kids to go to bed and behave so that he could come back later with presents.

Sharing good food and company.

I had to share this picture, when Daniel opened his present he said yeah! a box and then started to use it as a drum it was so cute that he was excited for a box. He was even more excited when we opened it for him and it was Hulk golves which he wanted but I didn't buy because I didn't want to encourage him to hit, but that is what Aunts and Uncles are for right, to get the good presents.
Right after getting the gloves he was already picking fights with anyone within reach.

We all enjoyed Christmas with our family.
