Getting Ready for the Ski Season

After a trip to the ski swap in November these kids are all geared up for winter skiing!
Getting ready for the first trip of the year to Santa Fe.

 Keian insisted on his gloves for the picture!
 Glad I took these pictures because with three kids Daddy had his hands full 
and didn't take any photos on the mountain.


They had a great time skiing - though Kirra and Kade can't wait for the day 
Keian is a better skier and they can all go on the bigger lifts together!

Christmas Eve 2014

What an awesome group of shepherds!
We loved spending Christmas Eve with the Esplin's for a 
shepherd's dinner, chimes and the Christmas story. 
Acting out the nativity is always so much better than just reading it.
The food was delish and the company was even better!


Here's our cowboy shepherd that has a nasty spill in the parking lot after bowling about an hour before we headed over to the Esplin's.  Poor dude had goose eggs on his head and all the scrapes you can see, plus a swollen nose.  What a fall!
When we came home Christmas pajamas from Mommy and Daddy were waiting, along with new throw blankets from Nana and Papa.

Kyler didn't where his Christmas pajamas to bed so that in case he had a blow out during the night we they would still be good for pictures in the morning! :)
What a happy big brother!

Christmas Sugar Cookies

Seriously, Daddy was out to win the Father-of-the-Year Award this year!
Not only did the kids get to build gingerbread houses they 
got to decorate sugar cookies with their Dad!



Daddy even made quite a few different colors of 
frosting so everyone could be as creative as they wanted!






The aftermath - it was not a pretty sight!

Getting Those Shots

It is almost impossible to get fun newborn shots without any help 
and I was lucky enough that Kirra was dying to help!
And here are the embarrassing pictures - 
the ones where we show the HUGE messes we made while we were shooting those pictures!
