Christmas Eve

Annual Christmas Eve sledding was really snowy and cold this year! 
Lucas had a great time tubing with grandpa and dad!
He went down all the big hills and wasn't nervous at all.
Millie loves the thrill of the rides... but she just got too cold after a few runs!
Grammy and Grandpa were so good at taking turns taking her in the yurts to warm up. 
As always, this tradition is something we look forward to each year and it doesn't disappoint!




Hot chocolate and home made sugar cookies! 
The best part!




After sledding we headed over to the Neidig's for our annual fondue night! 
We also play out the nativity and open cousin and sibling gifts. 
Such a fun and yummy night!!!
We look forward to fondue the whole year. 
This year we went back to the roots of the cheese fondue...
The consistency was good... but the flavor is always better with the good cheese!
Scott would disagree with me.


Lucas and Papa playing Lincoln Logs from Deacon!


I love Lucas' face here. He is so content!


Lucas and I made special cookies for Santa and Christmas Dinner!
He made sure to leave out cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer!

Fall: Halloween Costumes

This year for Halloween Lucas was an army guy and Millie was Minnie Mouse!
They had a great time dressing up and participating in all the events of Halloween...

We went to all of the following:
Pre-school Parade
Friends Halloween Party
Family Halloween Party
Trick or Treating

On the actual night of Halloween I took very few pictures... so the day after I had the kids dress up for one final time to take some pictures in the back yard.

easter: hunts

The kids had a GREAT easter weekend! 
It all started with This is the Place... then off to Papa and Nana's for gifts, hunts, and egg dying... then on Sunday another egg hunt in our back yard!

Papa and Nana's


Lucas' dyed eggs from Nana's...
Nana tells me that Lucas took great care in his egg dying with her. 


I don't have anymore pictures of the fun at Papa and Nana's... but Lucas was talking about it all day when he got home! 

Easter Afternoon

Grammy and Grandpa came to our house to host a hunt in the backyard.
The kids had lots of fun hunting out the eggs and presents!






Millie didn't feel any urgency as she hunted. She was very proud of every pretty egg she found!




Thanks everyone for a FUN weekend!

Easter 2012

The Easter Bunny found our new house! 
The kids were so excited to find the trail of eggs from their rooms to their baskets.
Good thing we packed those Easter Baskets in WELL marked boxes!







HAPPY EASTER!
