Grandma Day

It must be the weekend because we get to spend time with Grandma. The kids are so excited to see her and I'm so excited to have the help when Cory is at work! We spent the day at Tewinkle park.

Ellanie practicing her karate moves.

No paperazzi please

The kids loved all the ducks you can feed at the park.

Chocolate Lovers

MMmmm... chocolate pudding is so good.

Be Merry

We had a great time with the family celebrating Christmas at Uncle Chris and Aunt Kim's house.

Ellie discovered that she loves cherry tomatoes.
The kids were excited with all the new toys, books and clothes!
And they did a great job this year at opening... They picked up on it real fast.
All the cousins....
Grandma loved her wine refrigerator
Ellanie showing off her walking skills for everyone.
We are blessed in more ways than I could ever write about.

I Do It

It was so much easier before they wanted to feed themselves:)

Happy Birthday Daddy

We flew back on daddy's birthday and were lucky to make it home in time to sing and have cake with the kids. I want to wish the greatest man I know a very happy birthday and I hope 33 is full of surprises, laughter, memories and lots of love from all of us.

You made all of our wishes come true and I hope all of your's come true.

WE LOVE YOU

I would also like to wish Uncle Erich a very happy birthday. Him and Daddy share the same bday ( December 15 was a lucky day ) We love you.

Up And Out

Mom and Dad got so lucky to be able to step away for a couple days for a little vacation. Thanks so much to Grandma and Aunt Kelli for babysitting, we had a great time!! We decided to go to Vail, Colorado and it was the perfect place to go as neither one of us had been there before. It was nothing short of gorgeous!

We rented a car and drove from Denver airport and it was perfect conditions to do so. It was so pretty!
We stayed at a resort that was in the middle of everything. We walked outside the doors to the ski lift and lots of restaurants and shopping.
Apparently he loves to people watch!
After getting in on Monday and taking advantage of visiting the town, we were off to dogsledding the next day. It was so much fun, there's really nothing like it.
Around 72 dogs all ready to go and they all love people.
The guide even let Cory and I take turns driving and that was the best. So much harder and scarier than I would of thought!
These are the crates in which they are brought back and worth from.

This is the view from our room on Wednesday. We left this day but it was so nice to see it snow.
Road conditions on the way back were a little more difficult than the way there!
