We have been in the house since we can’t get out due to the roads so we have been cooking and making crafts. Tay and Hunt Dog had so much fun beading and making cool creations!

We were hit with almost 12 inches of snow and the kids have had a blast! Roger decided to make a snow cave that G money could fit in! He absolutely loved it! We are also making a huge igloo that hopefully will fit all 7 of us, pictures to come soon!

Finally got this up on the wall. It was so much fun to make. Taylor bought the wooden Princess saying at A C Moore. She painted it with pink glitter paint and we hung it on the wall over her name. Her name we made with alphabet letters that Wal~Mart carries. They are made by Provo Craft. We painted the sides white and picked out matching scrapbook paper and mod podged it to the front of the letters. Using an exacto knife we trimmed the paper away and then lightly sanded the edges to give it a finished look. I love how it turned out and so does Princess Taylor! Have fun being crafty!

Can it really be 2010? I remember being in 3rd grade in 1985 thinking that the year 2000 was so far away and here I am in 2010! I hope everyone has a great New Year. We celebrated with the children and played a new game we got from Aunt Stephanie called Beat the Parents. It was a lot of fun and the children beat us 3 times! We also made tons of snacks and drank Yoda Soda. It is a tradition every New Year’s Eve:
Just mix Ginger Ale with Lime Sherbert and drink!
Grant named it Yoda Soda….. well I am sure you can figure out why!
Happy New Year!

Hunt Dog loves Webkinz. They really are the neatest toy. He has quite a collection and ever since we have moved he has been missing a couple of them. After Christmas we always get an urge to clean and purge so we found all 17 of his Webkinz! He was so excited! I had to take a picture of him with my new camera. He has the best time playing with them and getting on line and feeding them! I highly recommend them if you don’t already know about Webkinz!

It is snowing and has all day! This might be the big one! The kids had a blast sledding down the hills at our new house! Here are some photos:
Roger has the most fun in the snow with the children! Hunter and his Dad!
They are predicting more white stuff tomorrow! We may be snowed in for a couple of days and that is quite fine with me!

The weather forecast is calling for snow! So to celebrate the possibility of snow….my blog is snowing! Cool huh?
We also made snowflakes out of paper and taped them to the windows. We are wishing, hoping and praying for Snow!

I found this idea several years ago, not sure where I found it but we adopted it and the children have the best time with this tradition. On November 30th we wrap 24 Christmas books with wrapping paper. We place numbers on them from 24 to 1. Starting on December 1st we read book labeled 24. We then countdown to Christmas unwrapping one book each night. The children can keep up with how many days till Christmas while reading their favorite stories. It is a tradition that has stuck! Maybe it is a new one your family can try.
Some of our favorites are:
I Spy Christmas by Walter Wick and Jean Marzollo
Olive the Other Reindeer by J. Otto Seibold
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss
Look Alikes Christmas by Joan Steiner
Where did they Hide my Presents? by Alan Katz and David Catrow
Dear Santa Claus by Alan Durant
This year we are adding A Lump of Coal by Lemony Snicket, requested by Benson
I am so thankful that Tay loves to wrap!
Hoping you have a wonderful tradition filled Christmas and holiday!

Tay loves Little Trees! Our vehicles always smell super fresh! She wanted to be a Little Tree for Halloween and we were pretty impressed with her creation! She loved hearing the neighbors say, “WOW, It smells so fresh out here!” when she would trick or treat at their houses. Halloween was good times and definitely FRESH!
