another day of winter break = another day of fun in the snow

We met a few friends at a sledding hill close to the house.

The girls worked together to get the sled back up the hill.

This is the life!

This afternoon, we strapped on our new snow shoes and went for a walk.

These things make you walk a little funny!

Please make us a trail Dad and we will follow behind.

We went to check out how the cabin in holding up in the snow.

The cabin is a nice place for a rest.

Snowshoeing is a workout!

But so much fun!

Thanks Grandma and Dale, we will all sleep good tonight and have fun with these for years to come!

Christmas 2008

We were up nice and early Christmas morning with 3 super excited kids! Jeremiah told us the night before had been the longest night of his life! We had told the kids not to come get us before 6:00am. I think Jeremiah looked at the clock a thousand times during the night, but they didn't come wake us up until 6:02. Well, other than that 1 time at 1:45, when Jeremiah miss read the time and came in our room, turned on the lights and said good morning.

The kids had a blast digging through the loot Santa left behind, while Troy and I opened boxes and installed batteries.

Wow, a Barbie ornament!

Once finished opening the presents under the tree, the sun came out.

We met the the gang at Mandy and Mike's house.

Aunt Mimi had a table set up for the kids to decorate cookies.

What, I'm not eating the icing.

We all had a wonderful Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always eating the snow!

On Christmas Eve we went sledding to wear the kids out.

Can't forget to leave Santa some cookies and milk!

Last chance to be nice, before Santa's big arrival!

Yesterday, we bundled up and went out for some sledding.

I love you Dad!

Troy lined the kids up and sent them down one after another.

Who needs a sled when you can roll down the hill!

The decorating of the gingerbread house.

Let me help you, brother.

Thanks Grandma for the kit!

Last night was the kids winter music program at their school. Lexi is on the bottom row, far left. One of the songs the Kindergartens sang was "Move, move, move, move, freeze" They would dance like crazy, freeze, dance like crazy again. The way some of the kids froze was hilarious!

Jeremiah didn't tell us he had a special part in the program, he wanted us to be surprised. He did a great job playing the drum along with his best buddy Magnus!

Jeremiah played Speedy the Leopard in a play at school today. It was cute to watch the 1st graders acting, they really had a fun time with it.

Miles' Christmas program at the day care.

Miles did not want to stay and sing, so I bribed him, telling him he could have a cookie after singing. He did a great job then immediately came looking for that cookie. Whatever works, right.
