With our books from Auntie Jeanie & Uncle Jim! Thank you!!!
New addition to Steve & Shara's family! What a cute puppy! Chocolate Labradoodle - she is so sweet!
Peyton showing Great Grandpa how her new toy works.
Bella fell asleep on the way home from Grandma & Poppa's so it was up to Peyton to leave the cookies & hot chocolate (it was cold this year!) for Santa.
Then we had to leave a little reindeer food (granola) and water for Rudolph and the other reindeer.
Thanks Grandma & Poppa for a great evening!
Appropriately named Frosty!!!
We had just enough snow this morning for sledding on the boat launch hill. I know the grandma's are cringing that I let the girls sled towards the lake - they were just fine!
They were both such great sports and enjoyed the day. This evenings sledding was in 6 inches of snow!!!!
The girls were great helpers this year with the tree. The handed me new strands of lights as I put them up and then they put on almost all of the ornaments.
They each have the ones that they like the most...
The finished product - I like it best in the semi-dark! 
We went to Seattle for all the Holiday Cheer yesterday! The girls were thrilled to go on the carousel. We skipped Santa - friends stood in line for over 4 hours!
We had a great morning - SNOW! The girls were very excited to get out and get some snow men made - though the snow was very dry - not great for snowballs. Still had lots of fun!
Bella had a great birthday! Thank you to all the family for coming and help us celebrate. 3 always seems to be the first year they get that it's all about them! We made (or tried to make) graham cracker gingerbread houses. They were a bit of a disaster - but I don't think the kids minded.
Bella had a quick snuggle on the couch with Grandma and her Buddy Ceci.
All the cousins were so great at gift time - thank you all for the amazing presents. Bella is in love with all of them!
Jeanie - these pictures are for you - we wish you and Jim could have been here!
Christmas is in full swing at our house. We've had the decorations up for a while, but we're completing them with snowman window clings...
The first of I'm sure at least 3 gingerbread houses....
complete with garage....
we pretend to be reindeer at least once a day...
and we brought our tree home on Saturday. The girls and I are hoping to put it up tonight!
Peyton took real lessons this year. So that freed up Daddy Bob & Daddy for their own ski day - however, they didn't ski as long as Peyton!
Whistler - we made the trek again this year. And it was so much fun!!!
Snow!
Pose...
Cinnamon roles and pancakes for breakfast.
