Let it snow!!!

The kids woke up from naps to snow...and lots of it. Needless to say, they were just a little bit excited!!!

We just got Jack his goggles yesterday for his skiing date with his Daddy next week. We didn't realized he would be able to wear them just one day after we bought them. That was good timing!

Snow Angel

Jack throwing a snowball right at me. Can you seeing it flying in the air towards me?? Yeah, I got drilled MANY times by both kids today. They thought it was so funny...

Lauren wasn't sure about the sled at first...but, then she realized it was a blast!

Our snowman

Jack rolled this GIANT snowball and he "threw" it at me and knocked me over! Lots of laughs from Jack and Lauren after this one!!!

Christmas with the Gryziecs

The day after Christmas my family came over for our Christmas!

Gunnar got Lauren a My Little Pony

Uncle Jeff knew just what Lauren would love...princess dress-up stuff.

Introducing Princess Lauren

The kids got a Wii from my parents.

Christmas with the Redings

Christmas afternoon we went over to the Redings house for more fun.

Jack loves his new razor scooter.

Lauren got a princess scooter too.

Michelle carved an ornament for her goddaughter, Lauren. This is the second one she has made for Lauren.

Many games of Hungry Hippo were played!

Grandma made aprons for Jack and Lauren.

Christmas Morning

Here are some pictures of Christmas morning when the kids opened their gifts from Santa. The kids were really into Christmas this year....I don't know who had more fun, the kids or Jason and myself.

Santa came with presents!!

Lauren's first present...a princess CD player.

I don't know who like the nerf gun more...Jack or Jason.

The kids were so good helping each other open presents.

This is the present that Jack made for us at his school. Jack's Aunt Michelle (who went to preschool at the same school almost 30 yrs. ago), made the exact same ornament! That is what I call being committed to a curriculum.

Lauren just loved opening presents. It didn't matter what was in it....she was even happy with clothes.

I don't know why Jack isn't wearing a shirt in this one?!? Santa really liked giving Batcaves this year....I know two other little boys who got one as well! Jack has been playing with his non-stop.
