The kids got to meet Santa at a Christmas party we attended this weekend. Adeline wasn't really into it. I gave Avery a piece of candy so he would ask Santa to give his dad a Wii.

Also, I think this is the third day of Christmas. Which would be Reuben's day in the Sportel glass series if I remember right. Time to celebrate with 3 french toasts. I believe tommorow is one of the mystery days.

I Can't Dance

Here is a picture of us before our big dance-off last weekend. That was probably the most graceful I have ever been. But I guess that isn't saying much.

Little Thinker

Morning everyone!
I'm trying to get some work done, but keep finding other things to do today. You may have seen these before, but...

This pic is going up in the studio....


Girls gotta stick to gether....


Avery had a great hair day!


The traditional spit-on-the-cake shot


... And my favorite!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday mom. You almost look like your 35 now :)

New Year's Eve Party

We want your opinions on a possible New Year's Eve event:

Skate the Lake Winter Festival (Evergreen Lake) Monday evening Dec. 31
-Mountain area's famed fire and ice party offering tons of frosty non-alcoholic fun with ice skating, carnival games, inflatable rumpus rooms, hot-food vendors, dance floor, toasted marshmallows (bonfire), fireworks early and late!!
For more fun, noon on Jan. 1 is Evergreen's first-ever Polar Plunge! (maybe this can be the family event instead of Pike's Peak Ascent this year :))
Party tickets are $15 for adults, no charge for tots, and an eye-opening dip costs $25 per maniac
It says the festival attendance is limited, so we may have to buy tickets soon?? There's more info. at http://www.drivesmarte-c.org/

Looks like fun to me and friends have said the fireworks are great/fun family event. Of course, we can come early and have our own party here :) Let me know what you think!

Winner at a Losing Game

Hey! Look what I got last night. It was a surprise. I didn't think I had won....

Here are some pictures from our weekend:

This is the kids riding the train downtown to see the parade of lights. We hung out in a friend's office building and watched this year. It was much nicer than fighting the brutal cold.


These are Adeline yesterday morning sitting at the table her great-grandpa made her.

This was the scene on the front porch when we returned from our walk this afternoon. Our winter sunsets are generally better than summertime because the sun sets farther south.

Hope everyone has a good week.
