setting up the Christmas tree and a Saturday cleanup!!

Saturday morning Dad, Josiah, Ethan, DeAtra, and I went out to a tree farm to get our Christmas tree!! :D So finally after getting a tree that most of us agreed on, we brought it home and let dad and Luke set it up, and then after that we started the afternoon cleaning the whole house!! Here are some snapshots of the day!!! :D

bringing out the tree stand!!

bringing it into the house!!

getting the tree straight was definitely something that wasn't an easy job!!!

almost there!!!

Isn't Daniel ADORABLE!!!!!!!!

Excited that the tree was up!!!

I was organizing the school area and Jared was my partner!!!

Here it shows Jared organizing the dominoes!!

My wonderful, and amazing mother!!!

Melia didn't find organizing school books very interesting so when I found her colouring book she took it to the little kids table and started colouring!! :)

After I took this picture I asked Jared if he had a smile, and this is what he had:

LOL

I love my little brothers!!! <3

If anyone of you has being to our house before you would have probably seen that this area was pretty much all the time cluttered with stuff!! So dad did an AMAZING job and cleaned it all up!! :)

Melia not wanting the little boys to clean more then she did started dusting anything that she could reach!!

And to make DeAtra and Melia's day dad set up there bed boards!!

the trip to Langely!!!

Yesterday we left for Langley so my dad can finish my Auntie Annie's kitchen.

So after a good night's sleep and a cup of coffee (Auntie Annie told my my parent's and I a story about her mom once offering her a cup of coffee and cookies and how it gave her a different view of her mother, and how there relationship of mother and daughter better, and so that's how I got a cup of coffee!! :D), i'm starting the day (actually afternoon :P) with posting (after school of course :D)!! So here are some pictures of the trip to Langley!! :)

Here's a little snow!!!

a little more snow!!

MY ADORABLE SISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(she just woke up from a little nap!!)

After a while of reading I looked out the window and this is what I saw:

SNOW!!!!!!!!

It was -23 here!!!

I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO WITHOUT MY MOUNTAINS!!

I LOVE BC'S MOUNTAINS!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, if you don't find mountains interesting!! But it was only like a 4 hour drive, and we only made 2 stops, and so there wasn't really anything but snow and MOUNTAINS to take pictures of!!!!!!!!!!

Now here are some snapshots when we're at Auntie Annie's!!

I love these little Dutch pictures!!! :)

the lego police training building (s)!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who likes lego??

I do. I LOVE lego!! It is SO much fun!! You can build so many things out of it, and its so easy to!!! I'm not the only one in my family that likes it though!! My brothers do to!!! And since there's 7 boys in my family, there's A LOT of lego!! A couple day's ago Ethan and I made this lego police training building, after we finished school for the day. So here are some pictures of it!!

Where the guy's watch!!!!!!

The captains room.

(The captain is the one with the white hair. He's talking to the guy in the green!!)

The vehicles.

where they all sleep.

We didn't have enough beds so we had some guys stay up all night and watch, while others slept!! :)

the bathroom.

(This guy is CONSTANTLY having a shower!! :P)

a little shop!!

(sorry, this picture is upside down!!)

The living room!!

Here's the hospital.

(the area where the servant and the chef are is the kitchen and the other room is the eating room!! :P)

And here are some pix of the whole building!!!
