North End Santa

We had our annual Santa visits the North End Party. Since we have all been multiplying recently, it was quite a big crowd. Thank goodness we have a bigger house to accommodate everyone!

Sniffing the Gingerbread house. By some miracle, it survived the night!

Chaos!

Santa has arrived!

It was hard to get the kids on Santa's lap in an organized fashion

Maci LOVED Santa. She jumped up and down so much, her pants were falling off!

Nope, Alice did not figure it out.

Why do my kids like Homer so much!?!?!?!

Loving Christmas Time

Kyle is helping Dad get the tree standing straight

Opening the first Christmas as early 'Saw Christmas'

ICE CREAM SHOP!

Tasting the product.

Ohhh, Kitchen from Gramie & Bob Bob

Don't ask...

Dancing for Bob Bob

Yorkshire Pudding, delicious!

One mean beef tenderloin...aka: meat log

Bob Bob & Gramie made a gingerbread house that Alice decorated. No kit for my folks.

Silly Kyle

It's gonna be a good ski year

This is what we woke up to this am...lots and lots of snow! It took me 10 minutes to un-dig my car before work.

More snow

The snow fort that dad and the kids built...day care was cancelled, so dad stayed home with Alice & Kyle.

Thanksgiving in Powell Butte

We were in Powell Butte with my family over the holidays. We had a great time seeing Bobbby and Charlene - who just got married! Congrats!!!!!

I asked Alice to say the photo captions, as I was her scribe...here we go:


Charlene and me


Bobby and Bob Bob


Gramie

I like to play with my brother on the silly piano

I like to to snuggle and laugh with brother...and play with brother and do hair cuts with brother...and do everything with my brother Kyle. And I want him to play with me when I ask him to 'come here'.

I want to play hair cut...I'm done.

Anticipation of the popcorn...

POP!

Getting in touch with his feminine side

Sleep Over

While we were at our final bowling night, Alice, Keaton and Kyle hung out with the baby sitter. Keaton didn't want to sleep by himself, so they fell asleep in the same bed. I'm amazed they actually fell asleep...and stayed asleep!

Bed Buddies


Alice and her big, big, BIG tower.

Ouch!

Kyle took a bit of a tumble at day care yesterday, poor little dude! He is one accident prone guy.

Follow the yellow leaf road

We had the first really cold night the other day, and our front tree decided to loose ALL it's leaves in one day! I'm not exaggerating at all, it was raining leaves. The previous owners warned us that they all fell at once, and they were not joking.

This is a photo from the Mogensen's home early this am, pretty crazy how the clouds cover downtown!
