Baby it's cold outside!!

I apologize first for not having a Christmas update. Christmas Eve my camera had batteries and in the morning it did not. By the time the battery was charged the presents were opened, and we'd moved on. Speaking of moving on...the reference to it being cold. Today we took three kids and cousin Chase to SkiCooper in Leadville Colorado. We should have known as we passed Divide and the temp hit -16 that the slopes were going to be chilly. I have no pictures because I was too busy keeping my kids warm. At base it was 6 degrees so on the mountain there are endless negative numbers to think about. I quite at 2pm due to the cold. Luke was not thrilled to stop his ski school but the boys(Garret and Chase) were plenty ready by their crying and whining and irritating behavior. Anyway, glad to be back at home where it is a balmy 20 degrees.

Gingerbread House

Our family tradition continued with the making of our yearly gingerbread house. You can see how it began. Only one crack in the front and all else held together. The kids worked together well and there was little fighting. I love a project when they all come together. Garret said Regan was happy because she could sit there and eat as much candy as she wanted and not be yelled at. Pretty much true for everyone.

We took a few pictures by the tree on Saturday. My vote is that I have the cutest kids in the world any one else want to chime in????

Regan Birthday

The night finally arrive and Regan blew out her candles by herself. She loved her cake and presents! I got her a magnet doll that the clothes can be changed. I'm hoping she'll start changing that doll's clothes and not her own.

Regan turns three

Today Regan Joy turns three. In my free time, I put together a slide show at the bottom of the page. Sorry for the smallness of it, its the best I could do. We love having her as part of our family and she is a great joy to be with.
