Enjoying The Cold!

Today we went for a drive to help Drew with moving an old VW Bus. He's doing a school project next semester in small engine repair. The cold weather didn't stop the girls from playing on a swing set at -20 below! They had a great time, Adriana was the last one in the car before leaving!

-10 to -20 Below Zero

The end of our long driveway!

Winter Wonderland!

Adriana wishing she was outside on a snowmachine! Love the goggles!

Skylar thinking the same thing..."Wish I was out playing in the snow!"

Wish came true, "Woo Hoo, We're playing in -20 below weather on a playset!"

Adriana entertaining her little brother

I Love My Brother.

Here I am, mom trying to get a smile out of Lucas.

Woo Hoo! After making goofy faces and silly noises, he's finally smiling!

And another, even if it's a half smile!

Adriana telling him a story.

(Ba-lurr-tuq) On His Belly!

Balurrtuq, meaning: laying on their belly.

Lucas exploring the sounds around him! And mom and daddy making silly noises so he can look at the camera!

"Dad, wanna arm wrestle?"

"How you doin?" Look at them chubby cheeks!

"Hey, where's mom going? Come back with that camera!"

Almost Finished With Their Delicious Ginger Bread House

Girls were being a little loud, lol...so I gave them some miniture candy canes to suck on for a little while! Here's Ana with one!

Lucas sweats easily when holding him, so we have him just sit in a diaper and socks to keep him cool! Adriana and Skylar keeping little brother company and playing with make up and their tea set!

Christmas Ever #3

Our baby Lucas on Christmas Eve.

Here I am trying to open up my beautiful hand made jewelry box that Drew made for me, it has 10 pieces you have to move before it can open! It's a puzzle box he designed on his own! It's made from maple and walnut. It's something I will treasure my whole life! It came with a cute hand carved heart hidden inside.

Skylar and Adriana love taking pictures, so Gramma Linda and Upa Jeff in Minnesota got these for them! Thanks Gram and Upa!

The girls are so into Barbie's and dolls, we thought getting them something different for Christmas, these cute light up teddy bears!
