Our Ultimate Sack!

This weekend Dirk and i decided to spend some of our tax money on some fun things for the apartment and for ourselves!

The first thing we bought was a Wii Fit! We love it, its so much fun!

The second thing we bought was an ultimate sack. It's like a giant bean bag but its made out of foam and its sooo comfy!


This is basically how it came in the mail except in a cardboard box.

Unzipping the canvas bag to get to the other canvas bag thats hold the foam.

The finished product!
SO COMFY! My new favorite spot!

Fun @ the Beach!

Today Dirk and I and the family all decided that it would be fun to show Mackenzee and Logan how different the beach looks in the winter. We went sledding on the big icebergs and did lots of climbing!Sledding down one of the Icebergs on the Lake at the State Park

It was a fun weekend in Holland! Next weekend we are taking the kids to a real sledding hill to go sledding. More pictures after that! :)

Randomness and Lasagna!

Dirk and I have decided to do a little organizing around the apartment and the area we decided to start with was the spot right by our door. We were sick of the way the shoes looked and how messy it was when you first walked in. This was our solution.

This holds a paper shredder and a little basket to hold our mail.
Our solution to messy shoes, and hats and scarfs, and it's just all around cute! Up close of the pictures and the picture frame. The candle smells like margaritas! YUM!
Another picture frame that we got for the apartment.
LOOK MOM & DAD! We used the bubble and browns you bought us! I love it!!!

Snowball Fights and a Christmas Tree!

Last weekend Dirk and I decided to head back to Holland for the weekend. Friday night my parents headed to the airport to pick up my grandma who flew in from Arizona to spend Christmas with us. We all decided to meet up at Olive Garden for dinner.

Saturday was spent hanging out at home with the whole family (minus Annie and Jimmy..sad) We watched some Christmas movies and the kids played with Papa Mike! They love to wrestle and sit on him!

See!!! The kids and Papa Mike wrestling!

Sunday we went to get my parents Christmas tree! Kenzee and Logan discovered the fun of snowball fights. So instead of looking at trees they spent there time hitting Dirk and Papa Mike and Eric with Snowballs!

Downtown Fun

This past weekend Dirk and I decided that it would be fun to take Kenzee and Logan to the Christmas Market and downtown for some shopping, Dirks mom joined us too! We didn't do much shopping but it was fun to spend time with the kids!

If you havent been to the Holland Christmas market you need to go! Dirk and I bought a cute little Christmas tree and the kids helped pick it out. Logan and Dirk decided to name it Henry!

After walking around the Christmas market for a while Kenzee and Logan started to get bored so we headed downtown. Kenzee for some reason wanted to see a statue, Logan wasnt to sure about that. Dirk and i brought them to the statue next to Sandcastle of the little girl singing. They were both a little scared at first but after that they had fun!

We headed to the the Sandcastle toy shop where the kids had fun looking around at all the toys and playing with the train set!

After the toy store it was off to the candy store so that the kids could get some treats! I think they had more fun outside the candy store playing with the squirrels but that's okay!

We had a great day spending time with the kids and can't wait till we are home for Christmas to spend more time with them! :)
