Random December Images....

So here are some random pictures from the past few days/weeks. Enjoy the crazies :)












Breck :)

So what to do the day after Christmas...???? How about go to the COOLEST city in Colorado? Breckenridge Baby :)
We loaded up the kiddies and the fam and went up to Breck to see what kind of action we could find. And what did we find...???? Only the best sledding hill EVER!



Load 'em up, move 'em out. Kellen got to "drive" Ryan's car.


Clark Park in Breck...AWESOME. Can you say sledding hill?!


Okay...he is just adorable. I cannot help but stick a few (hundred) pictures of Pres in here.


Poo-Pa and Presley sledding...all natural. (i.e. no sled, just rear end)


Kellen after his first run :)


Sarah and Tarin


Okay....after hours of sledding, we had to go warm up. So we headed into Starbucks for a little Pumkin Spice....yummmmmy. Talk about a sugar rush....WHEW! The boys enjoyed their hot chocolate while the adults gorged on caffine, sugar and the warm fireplace. Nice :)


Worn out....he would not even awaken to eat....and that is amazing for Tarin!!!


My little Kell-Mell after a long day at the slopes.

What did the "kids" do for fun????

Well, us kids played poker every night. YES, poker. Hey...it isn't real money! Ha!! So in the evenings after the real kids went to bed....we met at the kitchen table for a little Texas Hold 'Em. YEAH BABY!!!!! :)



This is at around 1 am...ish. The caffine and sugar have gone to our brains by now...yikes. But doesn't our Sarah look beautiful?!

Christmas Day!!!!!!!!

Christmas morning...we opened gifts, ate breakfast and went to the park to try out all the new Christmas toys.






Poo-Pa helping put together the soldier gear Tarin got (remember the whole hair shaving thing....he wants to be a soldier?)

Ethan and Mommy in front of his new soccer goal.


Uncle "silly" Ryan and Aunt Sarah....glad to be there, but SO tired!!


Daddy, Sarah and Ethan playing a rousing game of soccer...in the living room.


Kellen's new dinosaur headlight...thanks Uncle Ryan!


Cool picture!!


Tarin in his new soldier gear.


Pres riding his new little bike.


Kellen sitting on his new "big boy no training wheels" bike!





See why we call him "silly" Ryan? (crazy is more like it). He is crawling across the frozen lake to retrieve the soccer ball.


Ryan in a bit more of a sane mood.


Daddy teaching Kellen to ride with no training wheels....


Yeah! Go Kellen!!!!!!!



" Daddy.....can I have my new bike back?"


"Sarah, can I have my new bike back?"


Christmas dinner!!!!!!!



The kids table....yes, they are eating on PAPER PLATES. I am not brave enough to give them real glass china....even on Christmas.



At the end of the day......tired, exhausted....rest time :)

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we had over my cousin Noy and his family (wife Dawn and daughters Maiza and Bella) and Dawn's parents, Tom and Pat. All the kids decorated Christmas cookies and the adults had a "White Elephant Gift" exchange. It was VERY funny....we all had a good time.



BEFORE the mess was made....getting set up for decorating the cookies.


Pres enjoying his cookie.


Tarin enjoying the icing.


Ethan and his masterpiece.



Kellen and his work of art.


Maiza looking pretty :)


Did I mention that Christmas Eve is Stephanie's birthday?! So after the company left we had a little party for her :)


And after all the kids were tucked away in bed....the adults went to work putting together toys/games and a bike (for Kellen). This is the fun part!!! Dare I say...I think the men broke-out the directions!!!!!!! ;)
