Why is Paul wearing this??

"Downstairs" is the best place to play (especially during snowy winter months.) The boys can ride their trikes in our unfinished basement, and jump on their new trampoline. Paul, for some reason, felt the need to ride his bike with swim goggles on, and I can't help myself-I've got to post them here. Enjoy! (Note to Mammers and Papa-the kitchen gets to be put together as soon as we move!!)

About time....Christmas...

We had a great Christmas. Tons of time at grandparents house and at home. Paul got the "Geen Choo-Choo" that he had his heart set on, and we have a great video of it. Opening it literally made him speechless. Amazing. It was also very sweet how happy Luke was for Paul getting the train he wanted. Loved it. Here are some random pictures from the entire two day event that was Christmas:

Winter Fun...

We'll probably have four winter fun posts. The men just love the snow this year-so different than last year! Last year it was the 40 min. fight to get them in their snow gear, only to stay out less than two minutes (about how long it took for Paul to take off his gloves and touch snow.) This year, they can help get dressed, keep their clothes on, and (my favorite) put their thumbs in the thump spot in their mittens!! We took them sledding yesterday and had a great time! I still sometimes can't believe that I live where it snows often-but I've adjusted and am loving it too!! Enjoy the pics from yesterday!

Late Fall, Early Winter Fun!

We just took a ton of pictures off of our camera, so this is just a random sort of post. We had a great time baking before Thanksgiving and the men were so proud of their pumpkin and apple pies.








We had a great time playing in one of the first snows of the year. This year the men LOVE the snow (last year they cried) and it is so much more fun. Maybe we'll get them on skis this year!!







Our new nativity from Grandma Jayne. We love it because it is "Little People" and we can just play with it and not just look. I love the "pop art" shots Jon did of the toys, and of course, our beautiful Delilah.







We had a great time decorating the tree this year. They INSISTED on wearing the hats, and we promise we didn't plan the red pjs (thye are just their favorites!) The picture of them together is super cute, but Paul looks way taller because he was standing on his tippy toes! I'm sure there will be more pictures to come.....

Cousins!!!

We had a great time visiting with all of the family from out of town the first weekend of November. Too bad it ended so gross....and some of us had to go home and get sick! The weekend was PACKED full of fun stuff. We celebrated Alicea's birthday, got to ride on a fire truck, took a quick overnight trip up to Breckenridge, and, well, got really sick. Here are some pictures from the good part of the weekend!

Alicea-The Birthday Girl



At the Party (note Luke "participating" in the cake walk-maybe next year they'll get the games!)





Riding and Learning about the Fire Truck!!






I don't know why, but this is Luke's newest "face." He does it all the time!!



Time up in Breckenridge included hanging out with the big cousins, waiting patiently for breakfast (I love how Paul folds his hands like that!) Also, a fun ride around the condo on Uncle Nick!
