Christmas Day

Santa arrived sometime in the night.  Addie was afraid he didn't come when she woke up this morning because he didn't wake her up to say hi.  Needless to say there were quite a few things under the tree and in stockings for everyone.  The girls got new sleeping bags and Strawberry Shortcake dolls from him.  There were great gifts from everyone.  It was a great Christmas morning and has turned into a great day.  The weather is fantastic here and we have been playing outside with new balls, bikes and other toys.  The girls are down for a nap and all is quiet!!!

New PJs on Christmas Eve!

We had a special delivery while eating dinner...NEW PJs and slippers.  Very fun for both girls.  Grandpa Jerry, Grandma Susie, Uncle Keenan and Ashley were here for dinner.  We had a nice dinner and visit before bedtime.  Addison was especially excited about Santa's visit later in the evening.  She wanted to make sure that we woke her up when he got here!!!  We left cookies and milk for Santa and some carrots for Rudolph and the other Reindeer.

The Birthday Girl!

We celebrated Addison's Birthday over the weekend, hard to believe she is 4 years old.  Addie keeps telling us that she wants to learn to ski, so she got ski gear for her b-day.  We will try to make it to Breck a couple of times in the next week.

You might be able to see her most recent injury (just above her right eyebrow), a trip to the ER, glue instead of stitches and doing much better.

Love the puffy coat!!!

December Fun!

December has been very busy for our family. We spent a weekend downtown going to the Parade of Lights and doing some Christmas shopping.  We hosted our Christmas Party and had a great time.  We were joined by a very special guest which was fun for all the kids!

Puppies, Cowboys & Army Men - Halloween 2010

We had a great Halloween with pumpkin carving and pictures with Steph and Boden.  We then headed to Golden to have dinner and trick-or-treating with some friends.  The girls had a great time in their costumes and getting candy. 

3 little cuties!  Too bad Boden's trusty stead (Gunner) didn't want to be in this particular photo op!



What a great costume, I am curious about the hat...apparently Boden didn't want to wear his cowboy hat but his Bass Pro hat instead!

Good job dad!

Pre trick-or-treating and the Griffis house

I had to get a picture of their tails, too cute!

Loaded and ready for candy.  Unfortunately Trenton didn't want anything to do with his Army man costume.

Too hard to get 3 toddlers to look at the camera at the same time!

Pumpkin Patch

We spent the weekend in Grand Junction with my family.  Saturday we headed to a pumpkin patch.  The girls had a great time getting their pumpkins, playing on the slide and watching the goats!

A weekend at Boppas!

We spent this past weekend at Boppa's in Grand Junction. Quinn had a fabulous time snapping green beans for our canning project. We canned over 120 jars of Green beans on Friday, what a long day!

The girls also enjoyed their time on the John Deere!!!
