Yummy frosting!

The First Week of December 2011

The first week of December has been very busy for this family.  We got the tree up and decorated.  The lights are up on the house and the barn but that is about all for the decorations, we will get them up eventually!  Saturday night was the Parade of Lights in Downtown Denver.  We went down for dinner, a horse-drawn carriage ride and off to a party and the Parade.  The girls had a great time and Santa made an apperance at the party.  I am sure this next week will be just as busy... 

The Quinn Riley Show!

Last night after bath the girls were watching a cartoon while Jon was playing with our new camera.  Quinn started singing and dancing, it was hilarious.  Sorry to Addie as there are not many pictures in this post of her.  We sat and watched Quinn and laughed, she was in a great mood!

Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving brought many visitors to our house.  Jim, Lisa, Mark, Rochelle, Hailey and Hannah all made the trip from ND to spend the holiday with us.  We had such a great visit, especially the cousins.  The weather was fantastic and the girls played outside a lot.  We fried a turkey, baked a turducken, held a fashion show, went to a hockey game and ended the week with a trip to the Zoo Lights!

Snow is apparently the key to making a good sand castle, who knew!

4  girls left alone to their own devices = fashion show!!!

A great visit with Santa at the zoo, what a great surprise!

A trip to the zoo is not complete without a ride on the train and the carosel

Our first BIG snow!

We had our first big snow at the end of October.  The girls had a great time helping Jon and I with shoveling and sledding with the neighbor kids. 

Great helpers, notice the neighbors across the street!

They hung out and watched us shovel.  He is a little hard to see in this picture but a nice size Bull in the bunch.

Halloween 2011

What a great Halloween, the weather was fantastic, the costumes were great and of course the candy was more than we could imagine!  The girls were fairies, Addie was a Lilac Flower Fairy and Quinn was a Strawberry Fairy.  They loved their wings and dresses.  Once again we spent Halloween with some friends.  Trenton was Toothless from How to Train your Dragon...great costume!
