MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!

Fun in the Snow!

Yes, it's Christmas eve day and I have time to blog... it's a beautiful thing! Everything is ready for tonight :) Clothes ironed, presents wrapped, Santa's cookies made... we're good to go!
The snow from last weekend has lasted all week and we've had a blast sledding each day out on our back hill. We use the sandbox cover as a jump and man we have some daring kids!

Aiden, Kenzie, and Madison

Sample of the ramp...
going...

flying through the air...

landing and loving it...

A BIG thank you to Daddy for pulling all the kids and making cool ramps and jumps and for just being the best Daddy ever!!

Kenzie and Aiden over the shell

Kaden and Madison having a blast!

Kenzie, Matt, and Kaden

Poor little man had to stay inside with Mommy and watch. I did take him out a few times, but he's not a huge fan of the freezing cold :)

Matt's turn over Kade

Look at the air he got!

Matt over Kenzie! I love how tightly Kenzie is closing her eyes!

Kenzie's turn!

Julie and Julia... oh and Kira too!

I recently watched the movie, Julie and Julia with some girlfriends and it was pretty good. Looking through these pictures made me laugh and think about the movie.
Julia Childs would have been proud of my little cook today! Well, maybe not Julia Childs, but Betty Crocker at least!

What a face!

I love this pose!

She did an awesome job pouring everything by herself!

Time to mix

Nice form holding the bowl

Umm Julia, you have a little something on your lip...

We had to re-scoop this cookie about 3 times because my little cook likes to eat her cookie dough more than making it!

She was even sweet enough to share with her little brother!
