Snuggie

So this Christmas we got my mom something that we thought she would really enjoy. Her reaction wasn't what we were expecting...

I think my mom is saying "Nooooooooooo not the Snuggie".

Oh this picture is priceless.

We all started to have fun with the Snuggie. Next year the whole family is getting their own.

I liked to get down in the Snuggie.

So does Papa.

Not sure what my dad is doing, but I think he has only had half the Costco size bottle of red at this point of the night so we were not too worried!

PEACE!

One size does fit all!

Grace had to get in on the Snuggie action.

I am not sure my mother will actually ever wear the Snuggie, but it was worth the $10.99 for the 30 minutes of entertainment it brought my family.

Got to spend Wednesday on the hill with my dad. Not sure what I enjoyed the most that day, the time in the car with my dad, the two hours of non stop skiing before we took a break, seeing my best friend rip it up, the cold clean quiet air or drinks after at the Elk. It was all pretty spectacular.

The man can ski.

Of course the best part of going skiing was riding the chair lift with my dad.

These two ski bums Brooke and Kuba can also really ski.

Thank you Brooke for bringing this to the hill.

Sharing the goods.

After a few pulls of whatever that was in the flask things got a little more entertaining and Brooke got really excited about skiing.

Keeping Busy

I thought I would share some photos that I have took over the last two weeks. We've been busy this holiday season dancing to music, making princess crowns, having friends over to decorate cookies, family coming up for visits, playing in just the tiny bit of snow and much more.

Grace shaking her booty. I taught her that look back move.

Everyone striking a pose for the camera.

I think Josh taught Grace that move. I think that is the start of what Josh calls the sprinkler.

Grace hiding behind the tree, but for other reasons...

That's our Papa letting the kids touch his screen.

Grace and her BFF Natalie decorating cookies.

Emmit all bundled up for the dust of snow on the right. I might have dressed him a bit too warm.

Trying to make a snow man here, not really working but our intentions were good.

Grandma Diane came up for an over night visit so Josh and I could go to holiday party where big surprise I drank too much and then came home to this sweet sight of my mom letting Emmit fall asleep on her chest.

God I love this boy.

Art project time. Josh is very crafty. Must be a teacher thing.

All smiles for the camera.

I think Josh has been tanning? Oh that's right he is like 1/4 Indian or something.

Sprinkles

There are a lot of sweets in our house and they all include lots of sprinkles. These last two days have been all about cookies and ginger bread houses.

Grace, surprisingly was very good at doing the sprinkles evenly on each cookie.

Yup that is Grace bossing us around.

We invited our good friends Ty & Tatum over for ginger bread houses. The kids were not really into doing the houses very long, but they all did a good job.

Grace of course was at the table the longest, eating the fun stuff ( do you blame her) but you can also see Ty's house on the left and Tatum's house on the right.
