Sorry it's been awhile. Grandpa's funeral was nice, my sister Kristen flew in from Oregon and Foffy came up from Blanding so it was nice to have all my sisters there.





Our first snow fall, and I can't get very excited about it. This part is fun.



It just the hour before that, finding all the snow clothes. I think every year I am going to remember where I put everything but it was all over the place. I think I am just so happy to put it away that I just throw it wherever.

Ike liked it but was throwing up that day so mean old mom would only let him stand at the front door and watch.
We are TRYING to get into the spirit of Christmas, so Monday for FHE we made our ginger bread house. It is really hard for me to relinquish my decorating abilities and let the boys help. I am getting better, all I have to do is keep breathing slowly in and out, but it turned out pretty good.

The pictures of the boys is muoy cute! You should have taken a picture of the pile of wet, snow crusted clothes when they take them off....I hate that part.

Nice gingerbread house, but what I want to know is did you bake the gingerbread?

P.S. The picture of your house with the lights & the tree in the window is great.

P.P.S I've almost gotten over you beating me in the obstacle course, however if you win all the groups, it may very well flare up again.

I here you on the snow clothes. I kept holding my boys off until today, since it's Jackson's birthday I let them go out. My wood floor was covered in puddles of dirty water. Not much fun for me but they love it. I know what you mean about the gingerbread house too. For us it was more like me telling them exactly where to put things. I'm such a control freak, but I try to do it so they don't notice and they still had fun. Then they just want to rip it apart 10 minutes later and I wonder why I even cared!
