Christmas 2017

Sleigh ride in Green Bluff. Snowy, cold, and wonderful. Sandy and Sally were the sweet horses that gave us a lift. 

Abi reading Twas the Night Before Christmas on Christmas eve.

Matching PJs

Lucky kids got Chromebooks from Santa

 Cate got a doll house

 Opening presents

Jason buried in presents

The sweetest gift from Brad's aunt. She spent a lot of time on this.

Keri, Jason, Parker, and baby on the way

 Prime rib

Family selfie fail, but we get an A for effort

Christmas was everything we hoped it would be, love and laughter, family and fun, presents and prime rib.

Cate and Santa

Love these pictures of Cate and Santa from her preschool. We have never been a get a picture with Santa family, too many tears, people, and lines. I wasn't sure she'd sit on his lap or go near him so these are pretty special. Maybe he was a special Santa.....

Christmas is almost here........

The kids and I baked cookies for Santa.

 Abi's cute spirit hair for school.

 

Ice skating at the new ice ribbon downtown. It was pretty fun even though crowds aren't our thing.

Ben ice skates just like he skis. Partially out of control but somehow holds it together without hurting himself or anyone else.

 

Snowy weekend

Sledding at the golf course. Cate's moto is "I'm not scared of anything" and went down the big hill all by herself. Brave little thing she is.

 

Missing my mom on her birthday.... 

One short weekend but a lifetime of memories

There is nothing like the love of family.

Papa got the kids special Christmas outfits for a special picture.

One of my favs for sure

Silly, silly

Cate meltdown, so everyone gave her hugs.

Looks like an ad for Gymboree

This one might be my favorite

I had to have some fun too.....

We had a great weekend in Portland with my sister and dad. Miss them already!
