Tis the Season

I've got to say a BIG thank you to Whitney who made our Christmas cards (above) and took our family pictures. I'm saving them for Christmas presents, so I'll post them after Christmas to show off what a good job she did. Thanks again!


Like we do most every year, we went to Schofield to cut down our Christmas trees after Thanksgiving. Here is Hadlie after helping uncle Tyson cut down his tree. (That really is her under all that camo)

As soon as there are snowflakes in the air, Gracie is begging to go out and play in the snow. Hadlie is no different. Every morning when she wakes up, she looks out the window and if there is even a skiff of snow on the ground she is dressing herself (in dresses, I might add) and putting her boots on to go outside. It never lasts long, but as long as they get their daily dose of outside playtime, we're good!

On Saturday we went to a Christmas party at my moms. We ate way too much yummy food, made gingerbread houses and decorated sugar cookies. We all had lots of fun, especially the girls. Hadlie sat in the same spot for an hour just putting sprinkles on the cookies. Gracie helped Jayson build the gingerbread house, but then his perfectionist side kicked in and she got bored watching him have all the fun. Then we busted out the hula hoops and Gracie kicked all of our butts! She put us all to shame. She's been practicing all day and getting even better!

Hadlie & Aunt Carly. When I took this pic they both tilted their heads at the same time. It wasn't even planned. So cute!

Me, my mom, Kayla and Austin busy frosting cookies so Hadlie would have something to put sprinkles on.

Uncle Cory helped frost some cookies too. Under the rough exterior, Cory is a just a big teddy bear. Hadlie LOVES her uncle Cory!

Jayson putting the finishing touches on his gingerbread house. Way to go J!
