Christmas!

Well, the Christmas holiday is over, and even though we still have a birthday....River's, tomorrow.....I have been winding down, and taking it easy, I either have a case of the lazies, or a bit of a bug....don't know which, cause I don't manifest bad symptoms when I'm sick usually....anyway...

We made it over the pass and to Mom and Waynes in 4 1/2 hours, pretty bad in some peoples eyes, but we were determined to make it, so we did! Here is some pictures of our visit....

Here's Papa Wayne, and River (doing karate)

YEAY SNOW!!

Well, it's here, and Mama's happy! The boy's love it, I love it, and today they played a bit before taking a ride with dad! Here is some pictures, and a video of Mike having fun with the boy's in the To-Jo.

River trying to get through it!!!

Cramer....

Here is Canyon, he was having such a blast lying in the snow, and he was "diving" like in water into the snow, so funny!

River, in the purple pants, Canyon in the forefront....having fun!

And here is River, asleep on the couch, didn't even have time to get jammies on before passing out! Yes, he fell asleep with his basketball!

Life is rough......

Some pictures of the boy's at the Museum doing crafts, and meeting Santa! River passed by everyone in line, went straight to Santa and proceeded to tell him he wanted a baseball and a bat. I was embarassed at first, and then, well, it was so dang cute, I just loved that he had that moment! Everyone was so nice about it, he was so focussed on Santa, and the coolest thing about it, is he's never "met" Santa yet! Hi first meeting was such a great one, and all through the museum visit, he would go see Santa again, and again, and just chat with him....

Gingerbread House

Last night, we all made our FIRST Gingerbread house! I was going to do it with the boy's during the day, but decided that Dad had to be a part of it, so it turns out I was right, because it was much more enjoyable! Here's our house....

Dad's holding the roof on, waiting for the icing to dry.....

I put the icing on, dad's holding the chimney on, while the boy's are decorating!

The finished house!

The boy's did most all of the candy decorating, we helped a bit suggesting where to put some, but they did SO wonderful! Canyon designed the front walkway to the house....

"Rivers side" of the house....

"Canyons side" of the house is on the left...

I knew there would be no keeping them away from eating some, so I told them before we started, that if we could get through building it, I'd take pictures, and then they could have at it!

So, here is River enjoying some.....

Canyon went for the gumballs first.....

Even Dad's having some (I stole a few pieces too!)....

So, it was fun, and I think I'll buy another kit next pay day, so we can do it again!
