Snow Day

Our family really LOVES the snow. We had a nice snowstorm and just had to go play in it. We tried to sled, but Connor was having a rough time getting up the hill so we went back home and let the kids play in the snow hills the snow plows had made in our cul-de-sac.

Connor thought it was fun to help Chip with the snow blower. He thought he needed to fix it.

The girls stock piled snow balls for the up coming snowball fight.

Chip dug out a couple of tunnels for the kids to go through.

We love the snow!!!

Christmas Day 2009

What a great Christmas! The kids were so excited. Connor got a geotrax set. Cadance got the American Girl Doll she wanted and Alissa got a yoga ball and a 360 Razor bike. Like always my favorite part is Christmas Eve. When we have a special dinner and read the Christmas story. I really love Christmas time and hope all of you had a great one.

I think Chip had as much fun with Connors track as Connor did.

My mom made all of the kids PJ's for Christmas this year. They got to open them on Christmas Eve.

Family Christmas Party

We had a really fun family Christmas party at the Shaw's this year. There was tons of food and fun. Thanks so much to Lezlie for putting it all together!

Cadance and Alissa were innkeepers during the nativity.

Alissa and Cadance got to see Santa again, and got a bag of treats.

Our camera died before we got a picture of Connor, but he was to busy playing trains with Gavin to care about Santa much.

Piano Recital

Alissa and Cadance had their Christmas piano recital and both did very well. Alissa played Deck the Halls and Cadance played Joy to the World.

Santa Claus

The kids were really excited to see Santa this year. Connor wasn't sure at first, but warmed up quickly. Cadance asked for an American Girl Doll.

Connor wanted a dump truck.

Alissa asked for a giant bouncy ball like her cousin Maya has. ( A yoga ball)

Cadance's B-day

Cadance got to celebrate her birthday with her cousin Aiden, Grandma Jensen and Great-grandma Clara at a big birthday bash over Thanksgiving weekend. She had fun and got some great presents. She got a doll bed and some clothes for her American Girl Doll.
