Snow Day

The first snowday of the year.

Ice Storm

Here are some pictures from the recent ice storm. It is hard to see the icicles that are hanging from table. The kids that was cool. Since I had to drive to work in it, I didn't think it was very cool.

Before and After

Here is the before and after. And then the gingerbread boy cookies that distracted Lucas. Eli's is the top left, Lucas's the top right, and Noah's is the bottom. Mine was dropped on the floor and broke. Too bad :).

Gingerbread House

The boys got the annual gingerbread house decorated. This is the 5th year that we have done it, I think. The boys love it. And costco has a great and easy kit. Except I think that my house is so cold the icing would not stick to the house. So we use it more to "glue" each piece of candy. But Noah ended up taking over the icing, so I could finish getting the sugar cookie dough done. He was a big help. This year the kit included 4 gingerbread boy cookies ( much better than the 2 that were in last year- don't people have more than 2 kids!!!!), so Lucas got distracted by decorating his. So it was mainly decorated by Noah and Eli. Oh well, they all had fun, and didn't really fight. Yeah!

Christmas picture-in 1 shot

That's right. This was the only shot. A few goofey smiles, but I am not one to talk about that. I can still hear Dad complaining about my fake smiling in pictures when I was a kid. The at the very least look normal. If you squint. :)

WE MISS PAPA !

Dramatic, but funny!

Picture # 5

Answer: 5

Question: How many pictures do I have to take to get 1 picture of three boys where they all look somewhat normal?

Trimming the Tree

The boys did most of the decorating. I will be glad when are tall enough hang the garland over the windows.

Jingle Bells

The boys love to watch Trevor's videos. And I have finally figured out how to record on my camera. So this is dedicated to Papa. We love you!
