Sledding for Hayden's 5th Birthday

Hayden was pretty excited when I misspelled his name on his birthday brownies.  He wanted green icing and I guess I got confused!

We were invited by Cal and Kenzie Larson to go to her parent's house for dinner and sledding and fun.  They invited the Howells as well which worked out great because Hayden loves playing with Will Larson, and Easton Howell.  He thought his "birthday party" was the best!

Will gave Hayden this snow tube with Batman on it, and Easton gave him a football and sweat wristbands which I don't think he has taken off yet.
It was quite cold out yet Addie chose not to wear a hat or gloves.  I am not sure if she is really my daughter because she is so warm-blooded.
Me, Kristen, and Kenzie all bundled up.  We went down the hill together once and a think the sled was a little full.  We didn't get too much speed.  Still fun though!

Our new friends Toph and Kristen just moved here at the beginning of the school year from Logan.
Cal was awesome and built a ramp for the hill for some extra speed and had a fire burning outside for us to enjoy.
This is Easton.  I thought this picture turned out too cute!
Cal and Kenzie's trip down the hill about took the ramp with them!
Good ol' squeak up on his daddy's shoulders.
Apparently, now Addie thought she was too warm for her coat as well!

Jase-he now has blue snow-clothes, three days too late!

Ya, one little saucer sled is not quite big enough for the both of us!
Awesome Alex was Heman and could do anything!
Will just made a lot of noise mostly, but he did make it more fun for all the kids!
Are those really wrinkles on my face?  Oh well, that just means I am having a fun life right?

My buddy!  He has been such a joy and I am so grateful he is mine!








It is official.  Hayden is now five and will be going to Kindergarten next year!  WOW!  This was a fun birthday for Hayden, Thanks Kenzie!

HUNTER CHRISTMAS PARTY

Okay, so I was so excited to have my whole family here this past weekend!  Brooke and Brian came Friday and stayed at Pam and Eddie's.  Mom and Dad came Saturday and apparently Dad didn't know they were staying the night-he didn't bring anything with him but that is okay because he is low maintenance.  Kurt and Julie weren't coming until later Saturday because of a basketball game for Jozef in Evanston.  Well a storm was coming in so the game got canceled.  They told me they were coming Saturday morning instead.  We were on our way to Santa on the Ranch when we passed the grocery store with a ginormous RV parked there.  Bryce said looks like Kurt is here but I didn't believe him because there was no way they could be here all ready.  Apparently they decided to beat the storm here and left late Friday.  They got here around 3am and didn't want to wake up the neighborhood so they slept in the grocery store parking lot!  So much for being a doctor-I guess we all have a little white-trash in us!

So we celebrated Hayden and Brecken's birthdays at Burger King, went to Hayden's concert, and we were still going strong so we decided to have our family Christmas party that same night.  

Kurt played Santa and passed out the gifts.  It was an awesome site!  Kurt's Amp that he drank earlier was wearing off, Brooke had taken some pain meds that kicked in later, and the kids were running in circles!  We are quite the family!  I even arranged to have Santa Clause come by to say hi.  He was hilarious how he barged right in the front door hollerin' and ho, ho, hoing, and ringing his bells.  He scared the crap out of Kurt but the kids loved it-even the ones that were too scared to sit on his lap!  We all thought maybe Santa drank too many Amps before coming to our house!

Hayden's favorite gift was an Indiana Jones whip and hat.
I got all the Hunsaker girls pink santa hats and Grandpa just couldn't resist.

Kurt was all too excited for the event.
Addie and Bradlie cuddled up in their new blankets from Grandma



Jase's favorite gift by far was the motorcycle helmet and handlebars that made sound.  Now he can be a police-man riding a motorcycle.
Santa was wonderful and we were all so glad that he came-thanks Santa!


Santa's hand closing the door.  As he left he yelled "Rudolph, get back here!"  The kids all chased after him to see if he really flew away with his reindeer.

Brooke gave us a spiritual message which was nice, the kids played and played some more, and Julie and I and Brooke-until she couldn't concentrate anymore, played Scrabble.  It was the best!
