We woke up Sunday morning thinking we weren't going to go sledding since all the snow on our lawn had melted. I had changed my status on Facebook to something like "no sledding today :(" and not long after, my dad was online checking his facebook, then I immediately got a call from my mom saying "What do you mean no sledding? We have snow!" I think it's a bit odd that they had snow just 3 minutes down the road from our bare lawn! They didn't have an overwhelming amount, but it was certainly enough to go sledding in. And then, of course, it has been snowing ALL DAY today! Talk about a day late! :)
After sledding, we went to Russels Nursery to see SANTA! YAY! Hannah was very easy going and sat with Santa with no problems. KaeLee seemd to be fine, but after sitting on Santa's lap after about 30 seconds, poor Santa had a screaming child on her lap! Ahhhhh........!!!! Well, maybe next year KaeLee will be more at ease. Shawn is picking up the picture today, so we will see how bad it turned out..... haha.
Tonight we are going to Shawn's work christmas party. Should be pretty fun. Then I have to start the oven up tomorrow! I have made my baking list today and I am not sure I will get it all made, but I will sure try! I am just glad that all the gifts have been purchased, wrapped, tagged and under the tree for the last couple of weeks so that I don't have THAT to worry about either!
Our plans for this year are Christmas Eve at my mom's house with the siblings, then joined by the Heilman family, then Christmas morning at our house, Christmas day afternoon at my Aunt Paula's house with the Sauve's, then Christmas evening at my dad's house. Then the next day, we are leaving for Cashmere and will be there with Shawn's dad's family for Sunday, Monday and then Tuesday we will head to Camano Island for Christmas with his mom's family. We'll get to spend Tuesday night, Wednesday, Thursday there, and then head back home Friday. Busy week, I know, but having a lot of family will ensure that Christmas lasts longer than a day! I have ordered a travel toddler bed for KaeLee and am hoping that it gets here soon. I think today is the day it's supposed to arrive. I hope she likes it!
Anyway, on to the pictures...... I couldn't decide which ones to put on, so you get most all of them! Enjoy!
This last week, I made a fort with the girls, with the tunnel going into it. It was pretty fun! And I think they thouroughly enjoyed it!
Here's KaeLee crawling out to go back through the tunnel again...
Hannah too!
KaeLee piled up all of her of her books in the fort and sat in there forever reading. Haha. It reminded of something I would do when I was little! I was a little bookworm (until I got into college and I was forced to read books! Talk about ruining the fun!)
KaeLee going through the tunnel into the fort
Hannah found KaeLee's water that she left out and she was estatic! I had to take a picture! KaeLee got MAD when she saw her, but I told her that's why she needs to listen to mommy when I tell her she needs to keep it on the table! She didn'tn like it, but then started to be okay with it and now she keeps trying to share her juice and milk cup with her...... talk about backfire! Ugh. I'm trying to teach her not to say mine, because nothing is HERS, but then how do you get her to not give her drinks to Hannah???? I can't tell her that those are KaeLee's only.....! UGH. Tricky stuff, this is!
Mommy and KaeLee headed to the sledding hill!
Yes, Hannah reminds us of the little boy on the The Christmas Story. She was so stinkin cute, all bundled up!
KaeLee and Hannah being pulled on the sled...
Awe, KaeLee loves her sister She is making sure she doesn't go anywhere...! (they look like the same size in this picture.... haha)
Then KaeLee got to go by herself.... as you can see, she loved it!
This was right before they ran into the fence! haha
Grandpa gonig down with KaeLee..... with Copper on their tail!
Grandma goes down with Hannah
Grandma and KaeLee
Mommy and Hannah's turn..... with Copper chasing us yet again... haha I swear that dog has WAY too much energy! His brother, Buddy, however, was not feeling up to par to join us.
Konner tries to stand up and go down
Poor Hannah can hardley see!
Shawn gives it a try on the standing up thing..... this was right before he biffed it! haha
Kory and KaeLee
My brother, Konner, and KaeLee. I am not sure if I am mentioned this or not, but KaeLee calls Konner, 'Konnie'. haha. And every. single. day. she askes for him. "Konnie? Konnie? Konnie?" She asks every time she goes to bed for nap or bedtime, and every time she wakes up it's the first thing she askes about. Oh, and every time we get in the car..... same thing. haha. I'd say she likes him. is 14 1/2. But taller than anyone in our family..... haha. I think he's pushing 5' 11" right now.
Shawn and KaeLee going down together, and Konner and Copper following... oh, and if you are not familiar with where my family lives, those "sticks" in the background are empty hop fields. That is what Moxee is known for. It's hops. In the summer, they get full of bright green vines full of hops..... I think I have a picture somewhere of a full vine. I will look for it.
