Delayed

I apologize for the delay in posts. But here are some fun things we've been doing the past couple of months!

Thanksgiving 2009
Thanksgiving? Let's see...lotsa kids, lotsa food, a walk on the pedestrian bridge, kids get bored, kids roll down hill...fun was had by all!

Carrie and Nathan's idea for potty training Colsen :)

First Plane Ride
The weekend after Thanksgiving we took a trip (by plane) to see my sister in Colorado. Eiley did wonderful on the plane which made about 200 people very happy, both ways! I didn't get any pictures on the plane, but here is a picture of Eiley and Zetta (who was very excited to find out that she had the same church dress as baby Eiley)!

Christmas 2009

We made graham cracker houses--I made a nativity and Anthony replicated the famous shot by Chalmers. You can't say he wasn't creative this year! (I think he was just trying to see how much candy he could use.)



We enjoyed the snow! While it kept us inside most of the time, we took the opportunity to take Eiley on her first sled. Anthony and the older nieces and nephews also built a cool snow fort. If anyone is driving down Highway 59 and sees his wedding ring in the ditch (where the fort was), pick it up! (He might even pay a finder's fee.)

Uh-oh. Anthony lost his wedding ring building a snow fort?! Why wasn't he wearing gloves? And Matt & I both got a kick out of your nativity scene & Anthony's reconstruction of the winning shot...hahahaha. :)
