Nerf War

The first (of many) nerf wars

2015 Christmas Card

Merry Christmas!

It was a great Christmas! The boys got exactly what they wanted - golf clubs, legos and ipads! And Nerf guns. And Star Wars (which we saw later that day)

Christmas Eve

Before heading to bed on Christmas Eve, Nick put out his reindeer food he made at school. He sprinkled it on the bushes and sidewalk for Santa's reindeer. 

The tree and presents all ready for two boys to wake up!

Christmas Eve Dinner

Keeping with tradition, we went to Christmas Eve mass, followed by dinner at Superior Grill. Merry Christmas Margaritas! It was so nice out, we ate on the patio (without windows) and got mosquito bits.

Balyeat Ugly Christmas Sweater Dinner

Sarah decided we needed an ugly Christmas sweater tradition, so she ordered everyone sweaters. However, let's all note that Sarah's isn't exactly ugly...uh huh... 

So then we all put on our sweaters and went to fried chicken night at the country club. Keeping it classy.

Ben Ice Skating

First Time Ice Skating

It was the boys first time ice skating (or skating at all). It went pretty well! Adam and I were a bit sore the next day from holding up the boys but Ben finally got the hang of it.
