snow days

 It took a while to get all four on the sled, but they had sooo much fun doing it!  After some failed attempts and lots of laughing they finally did it! (they realized the rope was caught under the snow)

Notice the snow pants that are meant for a 5 year old.  We haven't bought snow clothes in a while (:

And where was Trey during all this fun sibling sledding you ask?  Walking, in his new boots he got for BYU, to his second home, Nick's house.  He and Allie did some pretty awesome sledding the next day with some friends.

 Used a delicious sugar cookie recipe from a friend this year, best cookies so far!

Best tradition ever - siblings draw names and do secret service for them during the month of December and then reveal their identity on Christmas Eve when they give them a gift.

Christmas Eve at Grandmother and Grandpa's house

Allie got about a dozen books for Christmas, and has read 1/2 of them already.

 Connor asked for two things from Santa this year Eclipse gum and a DS.

Taking pictures after church

Every Christmas I try to take some pictures of the kids dressed up on a Sunday before church.  I love how many pictures I end up taking before everyone is smiling, looking at the camera and not blinking.  This year was going pretty good until Tanner, Connor and Sydney got the giggles and could not stop laughing.  I love Trey's patient stare ("stop laughing so we can get this over with").
