Holiday Fun

Christmas is over. I'm always sad to see it go, but always ready to get back to normal life. We had a great month though with lots of fun holiday festivities. Here's just a few things we've done over the last few weeks.

Gingerbread houses with Bri's family. Yes- that is real gingerbread that we made ourselves. You should be impressed- it's really tricky to make.

After a visit to Santa with cousin Elise- loving the suckers Santa gave them. I forgot to turn off my flash for the actual picture so this is all that I got of the event.


McKay spent much of December being Rudolph. Much to Brian's dismay I would put red makeup on his nose. McKay loved it. This is Brian being Santa, which mostly meant giving Rudolph orders to play in the snow in the kitchen. Love this boy's imagination!


McKay's first snowman of the year. We improvised a bit on the facial features.

Our little fam on Christmas Eve. Just know that this really is the best shot we got of McKay. When it comes to posed pictures it's almost like he tries to be as unphotogenic as possible. I'm really hoping this little stage will end soon and he can strike a pose like a normal person.

And now the real fun, Christmas morning!

Have you ever seen such a farm? It has just about every little thing a farm could have. McKay is pretty much in love with it. Brian and I are definitely not in love with finding all the tiny pieces all over our house.

Wow, that's a lot of photos- good for you if you made it all the way through. Hope you all had a great holiday season too. Happy New Year!

I looks like you had a great Christmas.

Where did you get Bri's snowshoes? We are looking to buy a great used pair.

Sarah. I'm here. I came here straight away when we got home and I've already looked at each blog you've posted. You've definitely got the talent for a great 'blogger'.

I love it. Keep it up.

I responded to this blog before reading everything and seeing the latest pics. It was fun to see them. McKay cracks me up.

I got his snowshoes at Out-n-Back. They are MSR's. I think sometimes you can buy used ones there at certain times of the year. I don't know for sure though. We need to go snowshoeing again with you guys!
