Basketball time!!
Katelynn was NOT thrilled that I signed her up for basketball. She immediately found a friend from school when we got there....and guess what? She LOVED it! She even won a game of lightening! 
Perham Christmas!
We used to do Christmas on Christmas Eve, but with everybodies growing families we decided to move it to January. Last year it was the weekend before Christmas, but this year it was after. It was so nice to have it later to spread things out and look forward too! Everybody was able to make it and it was so much fun!

Grandma Lila gave all the kids blankets that my aunt Diane made! They are the best afgahns ever!! SOOOOO soft and the kids LOVE them!



5 of the 6 great-grandkids...best picture I could get! :)

Rylan LOVED playing football and sports with Austin and Tyden all day!


Gma Lila always puts cash (more than gift amount) in the gift exchange game..so everyone wants it! Katelynn had it won with about 10 seconds to go in the game until Uncle Donny rolled doubles. She was a good sport and gave it up, so he gave her some of the money later! (He even got a hug out of the deal, which from Katelynn is worth  A LOT!)

Gma, Speeder, Dad, Diane

Meeting Tate




Katelynn and Austin got to get a quick peek of him at the hospital....but didn't hold him til he got home since Katelynn had been sick! They sure LOVE their new cousin!!
In the meantime.......

 I made it just in time for Santa over at Heidi's to celebrate Chrismtas with the Schwantz side!
This might have been the only time Katelynn was smiling...after this she fell asleep on me on the couch...woke up for awhile as we opened presents...then got sick!! So we decided to get her home. What a whirlwind of a day!!!

Christmas Eve!!


Katelynn did a fantastic job setting the table for our little party!



We had a great night! Kids sang in church and then my parents and Gma Cella came over for appetizers after. We watched the kids open their presents and then Katelynn gave us a little program. Katelynn, Austin, and I were busy tracking Santa all day...when it was time to go to bed we all decided to sleep on the living room floor in our sleeping bags....little did I know my phone would ring at 4:15am....Rachel's water broke! :)

Kids were up early so anxious about what Santa left...the stockings were FULL!!! I watched the kids open presents before I headed to the hospital!!
Cookies!!


Noah picked a color that needed 24 drops of red and 2 blue!!



The most interesting frosting colors I've ever seen! :)
