Winter Sledding

The kids and I went sledding today

Hawke speeding down the hill

Quality time in the snow

 It was a hike to the top

But it was worth it 

Swing break

Beautiful place to live

Christmas 2016

Merry Christmas everyone

 Hawke was very happy to get these Virtual Reality goggles

Merry Christmas Hawke

 Kenya had no idea what was in the giant box

 This made her very happy

 The mixer matched her pajama's

 These VR googles are very disorienting 

 Very cool graphics

 I was dizzy for awhile after trying these things on

I was able to get the perfect size for the kids clothes 

Made my first banana pudding, refrigeration Utan style — feeling festive

Family Lasagna Making Time

The kids and I found a recipe for Lasagna 

 It was a team effort

 Hawke was our noodle softener

 and our prima donna 

 Kenya was our cook, timer and mixer

 The lasagna turned out great

Charlie Brown Christmas Tree

I almost surprised the kids with a Christmas Tree "Thanks Theresa :) " we found some odds and ends Christmas decorations downstairs and made it our own

                                        This is probably my favorite Christmas Tree of all time
