Family Time...

Ana's Baptism was a great excuse for some fantastic cousin-time...

Sister-time...

Hair-time...

And a lot of Gomer-time...

Final Attempt... Fastest Car...

This was Hayden's last year participating in the Pinewood Derby for cub scouts. He ~~and his Dad~~ were determined to have the fastest car this time...

And they did it! Hayden's car went undefeated in Pack 704...

He even had a cheering section.
(Thanks to the Derby being on the same day as Ana's baptism... crazy, fun-filled, tiring day :)

Beautiful Baptism Day for Our Beautiful Girl...

Indoor Fun...

When the weather gets chilly... all you need is some masking tape and Hot Wheels,

and you have a whole day's worth of fun!

Sophie was so funny. She wasn't so interested in the cars, but she did spend over an hour drawing the center lines on all the roads...

We have totally loved having my niece McKindra around this year. She moved out to CO for school this last fall, and we couldn't be happier to have "family" nearby. The best thing about Kindra is that every time she comes to our house... she makes treats. Cookies, pies, bars... if it has sugar in it, Kindra is all over it.

On her latest visit, Lollipops were on the agenda...

We love Kindra!!

December in Review...

Some of the highlights from December 2012...

Rob's first gig as the the Jolly Old Elf at a school fundraiser. His beard was so ghetto, it still makes me die laughing every time I see this picture. No offense honey, you did a great job, but the beard was so hilariously bad. I don't think any of the kids were fooled, but everyone had a good time. Ana figured out that it was him pretty quickly, her reaction was classic. She looked at him closely and then into his eyes and said in a tiny little voice "Daddy? Is that you?" She was a good sport and played along nicely when we explained that he was really just "helping" the real Santa...

Sophie's preschool party.

They sang all the classics... Rudolph, Frosty, Jingle Bells and the cutest rendition of Let it Snow.

Soph insisted on wearing her antlers and bells for the occasion...

They also ate enough sugar to put a person into a coma...

The day after Christmas we made the trek to Minnesota to spend a week with the Lammers clan.

It was COLD. Reassured me that CO is the place to be in the winter:)

Sophie helping Nana with some holiday treats...

There is a bit of Viking love in our family.

My Dad even did a Gangnam Style victory dance when the Vikes won. I told my kids to commit that moment to memory, they may never see Grandpa let loose like that again in their lives. It was so great!

It's funny that those were the only pictures that I took from that whole trip.

Back to CO...

Dad and Sophie enjoying their favorite lunch, princess style..

Just for posterity's sake... a shot of Hayden in his favorite chair, eating his nightly bowl of granola cereal ("Just Bunches" - also his favorite). Had to document it...
