Leila the Actor



Ice Cream and Cheese

Which one do you think the girls preferred?

Outside fun

Sledding and climbing mountains.

It snowed!

A rescheduled flight plus 7 inches of new snow means lots of fun for us!

Movie time

It's 11pm and the kids are showing no signs of sleep. Movie time! It's good for the grown ups and our socializing!

Rusty's Backwater Saloon

We took our annual Rusty's run last week. Athena got a little bored waiting for her meal and she started playing the slots. She did love pushing the buttons (and actually won a few times!).

The amazing, world famous Rusty's Bloody Mary

Presents & delicious meals

Granddad made his famous sourdough waffles, eggs & ham for breakfast this morning. Yum!

Athena's pile of presents.

The living room filled with Christmas

We gave Ian a Man Crate that he had to open with a crowbar. It took him a few minutes to get open.

Crown roast for Christmas dinner. Yum!

Family photo

Athena loves technology!

Santa found us!

We woke up this morning to find that Santa paid a visit overnight.

Granddad and Leila looking silly


Santa bought Athena a Fisher Price barn & silo

Leila got a camera!

Athena is insanely jealous of Leila's camera (and incapable of using it properly). 

Look, Elmo is on Athena's shirt!

Leila got a Star Wars t-shirt

This is the note Leila left for Santa. Sadly, she didn't see Santa last night. Maybe next year.

Meeks family Christmas

We celebrated Christmas with the Meeks clan on Wednesday. Most of the pictures we took were blurry with the kids' wrapping paper flying here, there & everywhere, but fun was had by all, and everyone walked away happy!

Before the gifts all came out.

Cookie decorating

The kids decorated Christmas cookies. It was a speedy 1-5 minutes spent at the table decorating the cookie they each ate, but fun nonetheless.
