White Christmas

We got a day of white Christmas before we left to the valley for the holidays. Carter had been hoping for a little snow to play in before we left and got her wish...a fresh foot of snow. We left town before they got a few more feet!

Of course, sledding was the hit! We have a perfect kid-sized hill right in our backyard.

Carter was in heaven with all the fun things to do...

Gabby just really wanted to throw a snowball at Carter. I helped her pack a snowball together and she took off with it. I had to laugh when she came back with a snowball stuck to her hat. She'll learn soon enough that if you throw a snowball, you should expect one coming back!

All aboard!

This has turned into a fun Christmas tradition, a ride on the Polar Express with the Warrens! There is nothing like a train ride to the North Pole with cookies and cocoa and caroling and Santa, of course, to put you in the spirit of the holidays. Merry Christmas!

Daddy Dates

Carter & Gabby each got to go on a fun date with their Daddy this week. They got to go out to lunch, play at the playground and go see the animals at the pet shop. They sure love their Daddy!

Thanksgiving Chickens

So, I don't really have many pictures from Thanksgiving Day. It was just so fun and relaxing to be with family that I didn't even get out the camera. I did get a few shots of the girls with my Aunt's chickens though. Carter got to "help" Lincoln feed them and thought that was pretty fun. She is so freaked out around animals, I'm surprised she even got that close!

Out in the Rain

While we were visiting Mesa for Thanksgiving, we got a few rainy days. There was a huge rainbow arching all the way across the sky that the girls thought was so pretty. Perfect for a few sister and auntie pictures.

Marshmallow Thief

I always get nervous if I can't hear Gabby playing. I noticed it was a little too quiet and came downstairs to find this. Gabs had emptied out a box of cereal onto the floor and eaten all the marshmallows out of it.
