Our Martin Luther King Day cake.
It was soooo good!
Jacob made the cake, and I did the decorating. Three different chocolates for the icing and shavings, and Pirouettes all the way around the edges.
Mmmmmm goood!

Merry Christmas from Alaska!!

Well, it was quite a surprise when the Kellers showed up at the Holt's home in Fairbanks just a couple days before Christmas!! We decided at about 4pm Wednesday that it would be hilarious and super exciting if we drove up to the Holt's for Christmas. They were absolutely tickled!! And so were we. Our kids were soooo excited!! Trayton had asked just a couple days before if we were going to go to the cousin's for Christmas. Sadly no, we had not planned to do that... but for the Kellers, it doesn't really matter if it was planned or not! :)

I do have pictures of Christmas Eve, but we'll begin here with Christmas morning! :) Jacob and Tiff opening up their stockings.

Travis and I opening our stockings. I let Travis go first, so he wouldn't see me open all the same stuff first. And I already knew what was in it.

Travis got all the boys an arrow. Can you say Dangerous???

Rebekah's happy face opening up her new bow!!

Trying to keep the kids under control while we take turns opening up presents.

Happy cousins!!

Tracker is the most frequent face in the pictures, with him smiling big like this! It's so cute.











So many pictures here, and I'm not sure how to comment below them. So you'll just have to figure out what the pictures are about. In there are included a picture of Jacob and his bb gun to practice and teach his kiddos about gun safety, etc, My kids and their airsoft guns (AHHHH), and several of the kids opening their presents that morning.
Here I am with my Ruger. Travis is so thoughtful, it's just what a wanted... can you hear the sarcasm?

Ezra and his "new" scriptures!

almost ALL of the guns and ammunition that was gifted on this day. Wow... that's quite a lot.

Jacob and his awesome DUCK BUTT. From dear Travis.

Tiff and her new broom. Travis can't help but mention their old broom every time we come up and how "worthless" it is, so he got her a new one. Tiffany is testing it out here, it works good!

Travis :)

Don't know how this one ended up in between, but just yesterday Travis and Naynay fell asleep on the couch together. Soooo cute!

Naomi got a stroller. She loves it!!!

Okay, on to life after Christmas. Naomi's hair fits into pigtails!! Isn't she just darling??? Oh I can't stand it!! She's sooo cute.

Tustin's attempt at making a snowflake. He was very proud.

Happy Trayton by our Christmas tree in my room. The safest place.
