We may have had some more exciting clips to share, but my husband cannot figure out that you cannot video with our camera in the "portrait" view and all of his videos are sideways.

Christmas Morning
Our Christmas Eve evening was a bit hectic and I forgot to go over the Christmas morning protocol with the kids before tucking them in for the night. Therefore, who knows how long Carson was up checking things out before Hallie cried and woke Matt and I! We then woke Tana and all were awed by the tree that Santa had left. (See later post.) My favorite thing about the morning was Hallie carrying her full stocking around saying "mine" without bothering to check out what was in it. :) All the kids received basketballs and the girls got new swimsuits and sandals for Hawaii, which Hallie insisted on wearing for the rest of the day. Everyone enjoys watching Carson fly his RC mini helicopter and Matt was so excited to get his own from sister-in-law Katy!
Our Family Christmas Photo
I don't know why, but I have this obsession about coordinating my family's outfits at Christmas and Easter and expecting to take a photo together. It's usually hard to get a photo of us all together even on these holidays and I don't think we've ever taken a good one. But, that will not stop me from continuing this thing that I do!
Christmas Eve snow play
I don't love to play in the snow! A little sledding is fun, but I don't last long. This year I have the excuse that I cannot fit into any snowpants, nor can I bend over to tie my boots....thankfully, the kids have aunts and uncles who do like to play outside in the winter. I am so glad that Aunt Katy and our new addition, Uncle Jesse, along with Aunt Britt were here to take my place!

Hallie turned 2!
It was a pretty rough birthday for Hallie. I scheduled her well child check for today because I also had a prenatal, so I knew she was getting shots. But on top of that one of her ears is bothering her, she has the viral junk our family has been battling for awhile which began to goop her eye, and she woke from nap with a fever. She was pretty grumpy there for awhile. But beautiful birthday cookies were quick to bring a smile to her face. I didn't feel like making or eating cake, and since we were not having a huge celebration, I opted to make cookies. I think everyone enjoyed them. My goal is to have a half-birthday celebration for Hallie (in June)in order to spread the joy of gifts over more of the year. Christmas is just a few days away!
Fischer Family Singers
So we won't be touring with the Von Trapps. Carson takes after his dad in the singing department, and the participation in "cheesy" movements department. After this church performance, I dared not bring my camera to the school program, but Carson did get up on stage with his class and reluctantly participated in the hand/arm motions, but nary a sound departed his lips. :)
