Christmas Card Picture-Out takes

 Seriously, how hard is it to get a good picture of three kids?  Apparently really hard.  But I enjoyed looking back at these attempts for a good picture for our Christmas card!







If Lana's eyes were open, and Josh's feet weren't in the picture, this one actually isn't too bad! :)
Goofy kids!

A Little Winter Fun. . .

 In the rainy, cloudy, yucky winter months, we pull out the tents and tunnels to provide indoor fun.  The other  day Nathan and Ava were having too much fun with the tunnel!
 Love that smile
 It's kind of fun to just sit in! :)
 Nathan was too fast, couldn't catch a picture of him!

 Baskets are fun to sit in too!
 And we have to take advantage of every relatively nice day for a chance to play outside!

A Little Christmas Fun. . . with more to come. . .

We have been as busy as elves preparing for Christmas! :)
 We did a Christmas craft, painting Christmas trees with the end of a toilet paper roll, and then use the tip of your finger to make ornaments.  Nathan did it very well, Lana decided she didn't like the craft and made her own variation! :)
 We dipped Marshmallows and pretzels in chocolate and sprinkles, yum!!

 We also made Salt dough ornaments to paint and give out as gifts!

 Some of our painted creations!
 This is what Ava was doing while we worked ! :)
 More of our ornaments!
Did the kids hand print ornaments also! (blurry pic)

Go Broncos!

 My parents bought the kids these matching Broncos shirts!  I just love them.  Even thought we don't live in Colorado anymore, we will always support our home team!


Decorating The Christmas Tree


 Ok, so Ava was more interested in the step stool







The finished tree!

Reading!

 Our sweet girl just loves to read, and I think she looks so big here!!
