Winter Fun

We have gotten very very little snow here this year. I'm definitely not complaining, but the kids are very anxious to build snowmen. We've had a couple of days with just a little fall that melts an hour later. As soon as the kids see even the dusting of snow, they are ready to go. They put on their snow gear and are out on the deck. They have both been wearing their snow boots everyday for at least a month. I'm hoping for one day of good snow for them to play in, then I hope it doesn't snow again until next year!

We didn't do as many fun Christmasy projects as we would have liked to, but we did have a few friends over to decorate cookies. Always a good time and, of course, more frosting than cookies were eaten.

We went to our friend's house for a fun white elephant party. The kids decorated cookies, had a book exchange, and played their hearts out. Melissa and Rob got these great hats! We were all jealous ;)

One of the men in our ward set up a photo shoot at our ward Christmas party. Here's our familia.

On a side note, Ryan got a fun book at the library for the kids. It has lots of comic strip like pictures and a few words. Hayden loved it!! She spent hours making up her own story to go along with the pictures.

Cole loved being read to by Hayden!

We caught her several times throughout the day, just enthralled in the book. I'm so glad my kids love to read!
