Merry Christmas

Yummy Cookies

Saturday we got together with some old friends to make cookies. When Mieka and I were little we used to live next door to Sarah and Mallory, and have managed to keep in touch through the years. This is the first year that we have gotten together to do something like this and it was a lot of fun. We have done many things with them through the years but are now starting to create some memories with our children and that is what makes things like this really great. Angie rolled out "mixed" batch of dough after "mixed" batch of dough and we had many great laughs. So thank you all for the wonderful Saturday!!!! Wendy we all missed you.

SNOW DAY!!!!

Today it snowed a couple of inches in Olympia and for here that is quite an accomplishment!!! So we jumped on the opportunity to take Tay outside to partake in some of the fun. We didn't care that it was early in the morning and she had just gotten up we threw on all the clothes that we could find because we don't buy snow clothes here, and headed outside. She loved every second of it in fact we had to ask here to come inside and bribe her with hot cocoa. We were freezing our kiesters off and she was having the time of her life just playing in the snow. Catching flakes on her tongue, making a darling angel that might not quite look like an angel, and throwing snow balls at mommy!!! It was a fun morning for everyone.

THE RIE RIE'S BIG DAY!!!!

Today was the RieRie's first Christmas performance. She sang three darling songs. The rest of the kids were darling also. Tater thought that it was great. We all had a great time. Thanks for the entertainment Riane!!!!

This is how we started out the day. Bogie and Tater chanting for RieRie...RieRie..all to Mommy's dismay. She finally came out, this is how it started, cool calm and collected then came the finale...

This was Riane's big shining moment. Everyone got a good laugh at all her jazz up on the stage.

GO BEARS

Daddy just finished his football season. He has a great time coaching, and all the kids seem to love him. We had his banquet tonight and here are some pictures that are from his season.
