Hoppin Holiday!


Well.... it's been a crazy holiday! Here are a few pictures from what we have been doing over the last part of this month.

Here is Kaycee and her friend Mason before their Christmas concert at Lander High School. Was so cute!! They sang with the 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders. Kaycee's favorite song was "The Rainbow Connection". I did get the whole Rudolph song on video... might upload that later. We were so proud of her!! (btw.. that bruise on her chin was courtesy of Jackson throwing a toy pistol at her face).


Kaycee and Jackson with their cookie creations for Santa on Christmas Eve... as you can see, Jackson probably shoved more frosting in his mouth than on his cookie. They were so excited!



Who knows what Santa was thinking giving the kids lightsabers.... Jason was brave enough to challenge our little monster. Anyone else up for a duel is welcome over. Kaycee and I are just too chicken. We've seen what he can do with a pistol.





Grandma and Grandpa Conder found this perfect gift for Jackson.... think he will get a lot of use out of it.










While everyone else was snoozing, Kaycee and I snuck out to go ice skating. Was only her 3rd time going (1st this season) and after a few falls, she remembered how to do it. We had a GREAT time.



Sometimes, it's just the little things that make us smile!



















We hope Granny and Grandpa had a fun time (poor Grandpa had the stomach flu while he was here - but he made a full recovery) we were so glad they made it here and back safely. Thanks for everything Gerald and Kathy!!!
Happy Holidays!!

Let it snow!

It started snowing in our "neck of the woods" this morning. Only have a couple of inces or so, but I hope it keeps on coming! Have been itching to get out on those sleds again.
Let it snow, let it snow!!!

Choppin down our tree.

We had a fun time picking out our Christmas tree yesterday - was especially nice this year since it was a balmy 55 degrees up in Sinks Canyon! Nice and toasty compared to previous teeth chattering, bone chilling, "when the heck is Jason gonna pick out a damn tree" years. Didn't even get a chance to drink our hot chocolate since we were out of there within an hour. Trimmed a bit off the bottom once we got home (very Grizwold-ish of us) but it turned out. The kids LOVED decorating the tree too.... who knows, we might still add a string of popcorn or a few more art projects before the New Year. ;O)
