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!

October!!

We did all of the typical October things this month-visited a farm for pumpkins, went to harvest festivals, colored our faces (well, that isn't a typical October thing, but almost a rite of passage, right?) Also, there was, of course Halloween. Our two little monkeys got use out of their outfits at festivals, Grandma's house, King Sooper (grocery store) and trick or treating. Hope you enjoy the photos! Just for fun, I included pictures from last year at the farm, the ones in the orange shirts, feeding the white goat.
