Winter Wonderland

Abe's wishes came true, and we actually got some snow. He really didn't think that it could be Christmas time without snow. In his prayer tonight he thanked Heavenly Father for the snow because "it made all the kids happy." Nellie actually enjoyed it too, and she was mad that we didn't let her get down and play in it. Riggy stayed warm inside. He had already played in the snow earlier in the day with his cousins.

A neigbhor's tree branch gave way under the weight of the snow and fell in the backyard.

Dizzy Sister

The kids have actually been playing really well together the past few days. The boys especially love playing with their Nellie. Last night Abe lifted her up into the office chair and the boys spun her around.

You can see from the picture that their little feet were actually running.

She looks like she's about to fall off, but she was holding on.

She looks a little dizzy!

Yet she was upset when her brothers pulled her off so that they could have a turn getting dizzy.

Ginger Bread House

These kids are hillarious! Abe has been begging to do a ginger bread house or ginger bread cookies for a long time. We finally decorates a ginger bread house for fhe. The kids loved decorating it. They asked me 100 times today if they could eat it.

Abe

I;ve done individual posts of both Riggy and Nellie so I thought that Abe needed some attention (my mother guilt). We often find him sleeping in funny positions.

What a thoughtful boy!

Why we LOVE Vegas

I'm behind on posting pictures. These are the kids enjoying a beautiful autumn day in mid-November. Yes, short-sleeves in mid-november. We really enjoyed the good weather.
