Christmas Cookies

We all had fun making and decorating cookies, some of which went to Santa.  The boys LOVED the flour and made sure to cover everything with it, including the mommies!

 I'm pretty sure eating the cookies was Jacob's favorite part!!

Texas

Our annual trip to Texas was great as always!  We had an amazing two weeks spending time with family and friends.  Caroline and Jacob especially had fun spending time with their cousin, Aiden.

Chanukah

We loved celebrating Chanukah this year with the kids bringing home so many songs and stories about Chanukah from school.  They had a Chanukah party at their school, and it was fun to eat latkes and sing songs with their friends and teachers!

Art

Caroline is our artist and amazes us everyday with her drawings and coloring.  She tells us she is going to do her "arting," and she sits down and goes to work!  Here is one of her creations; she might already be the best at drawing in the family!

Snow Day

Warm and cozy watching the snow fall outside.

The Nutcracker

Caroline and I went to see The Nutcracker with her friend Amy and her mom.  Caroline LOVED the show, and it was such a special memory to share with my girl.

Thanksgiving Fun

Our Thanksgiving was filled with family and fun!  We spent Thanksgiving at Uncle Rick and Aunt Lynn's house and then had a big dinner at our house the next night.  Uncle Andy came from Denver and stayed with us.  So fun to be with family for the holidays!
