Snowball Fight!

The boys decided to wear their new headlamps outside for a dark snowball fight.

It was quite the funny sight.

Puppy Love

Lately, we have been giving our youngest lab, Casey, more

freedom than ever... and she's behaved herself quite well!

She has such a loving and tender personality to her.

Rosie doesn't seem to mind the company.

Yummy

What's a holiday without food?

Besides the candy pictured here we also made muddy buddies.

Some friends of ours even brought Connor safe ingredients to make them.

How awesome is that?

This is our new cast iron griddle.

It never made it under the tree :)

Yes, I know there's a spill spot that didn't get wiped up.

It's driving me nuts!

We've fit 10 pieces of bacon at one time!...

but we didn't get a picture.

Can you smell it?  Yummmm.

I tried making peanut butter cups with Sunbutter.

They are really yummy, not to mention super easy to make!

We decided to call them Sunbutter frogs.

Aren't they cute?

Merry Christmas

The ornament says, "We have seen His star".

Apparently Captain America is protecting it.

The boys each taking a turn reading the Christmas story from the book Luke.

Headlamp and safety glasses...

The headlamps seemed to be a huge hit.

Later in the evening we went to grandma & grandpa's house.

Let's Take a Christmas Picture...

Every year we take a picture of the boys to put on a Christmas ornament.

And every year it seems like we take dozens of pictures to get that "one".

Thank goodness for digital cameras!

Let's get the silly ones out of the way first.

As always, the boys are cooperative.

As is the camera... er the operator of the camera.

Not sure what happened to the flash.

"Is this a good smile mom?"

"I'm done."

I think this is the "one" we chose for the ornament.
