The First Snow!


Yesterday we had our first snow!  We spent a good portion of the day sledding and drinking hot cocoa.  We are excited to be having a white Christmas this year!

Andy Turns 8!

We celebrated Andy's 8th birthday last weekend.  On his actual birthday, we had an indoor soccer game where he scored 2 goals and a basketball game where he played some mean defense.  After all that activity, we relaxed with a movie.  We went to see Disney's "Frozen" followed by pizza and ice cream!  Brrrrr!

On Sunday, we had his party at Incredibowl.  He spent the afternoon with 10 of his friends bowling and putt putt golfing.  He had a blast and we survived!

Christmas is Coming!

We are getting ready at our house for Santa's arrival.  The Christmas tree is decorated and the stockings are hung.




 
Next on the list is a visit to see Santa.  Once again, the kids had breakfast with Santa at church where they made crafts and shared their Christmas lists with St. Nick.





 
Once again this year, we tested our decorating skills with the Milroys and McKees to see who could cover a gingerbread house with the most frosting and candy.  This has become a very fun and much anticipated tradition.  I suspect that Sarah, Colleen and I will be decorating gingerbread house together well after the kids have lost interest!  




The finished product!
