Fun in the Snow

It seems like we have had more snow this winter than we have had in a long time. We have had storm after storm the last couple of weeks. But today we really had a dump. We spent the morning shoveling ourselves out, making a sledding hill off the front flower beds, and making Frosty the Snowman! Ben & Spence were so excited.

Merry Christmas!

Santa did manage to find our house through snow, sleet and whatever else was blowing around on Christmas Eve...we THOUGHT we saw Rudolph's nose up in the sky on the way home from Grammie's house, and sure enough, he ate the carrot we left out for him!

Christmas 2007

Our annual Christmas nativity and program at Grammie's house was extra fun and exciting with ALL the cousins together! We had a wonderful dinner and then the kids did the program and shared their talents. Trisch and Eric made a recording of the music which is sure to hit #1 on the billboard charts!

The shepherds and wise men are looking a bit mutinous...

Have you ever seen such an excited angel?

Gingerbread Houses

For family night this week we did our annual Christmas tradition of gingerbread houses. I only made one real one (I guess I'm getting old and tired)--but the kids were disappointed so I got out the good old graham crackers and they each made their own mini house. They thought that was the coolest! Just goes to show you don't have to kill yourself to please the young 'uns....

Spencer's 2nd Birthday!

We celebrated Spencer's 2nd birthday at Grammy's house. Spencer loves Curious George, so we did our best to make a monkey cake. It was Dad's birthday too, so the two monkeys celebrated together!

Ben's Birthday

We celebrated Ben's 4th birthday with a dinosaur party. We went to the dinosaur park, and his dino mountain cake turned out awesome! He thought it was the coolest birthday ever.

Halloween

We had a great Halloween with Tara and her kids joining us for our annual party. It was a great night for trick-or-treating, and Aubree and Adam ended up with pillowcases full of candy! We just finished it last week!!
