Bobby was so proud of himself as he helped me decorate the front yard for Christmas. He called this “his tree.”
We got a little bit more snow in time for our Olds Family Christmas Party. Billy decided to build a little bit taller snowman inside the jungle gym this time…
Our family Christmas party was fun and we had everyone come – which is a rarity! The boys just love being with family!
We all cleaned ourselves up for Christmas …
I’m biased, but my boys are good looking!
Sometimes you need a tickling dog pile …
Here’s the family room on Christmas morning just waiting for the boys …

And I might even like them better like this!
While exercising one day, Bobby got my walking weights out. He looked at them very inquisitively and finally figured out all by himself what those strange straps were for. I usually use them on my hands, but, you know…
We had a week to finish our 2017 Wanna Do List. One of those things was “get a fish.” I’d been resisting. Finally I caved and got the boys a beta fish. They named him Harvey and here they are reading stories to Harvey’s tank on the counter.
Another item on the list was bowling. Bobby liked the ramp and watching his ball roll down the lane …
Rusty put some concentration into his game …
Billy got some decent form …
And that was our 2017!
