Today, there was such a senseless shooting tragedy in the US taking the lives of 20 young kids. I think when you are a parent or especially close to a child, you immediately personalize any such event. It makes it that much more real. I’m not sure how I would cope, and pray I never…
So this weekend marked our 11th annual trip to the snowy, winter-esque mountains to get our Christmas tree. Ok, so it wasn’t snowy or winter-esque at all, but that really didn’t matter. In fact, we often remember our trips by the uniqueness of the weather – aka “remember that year it was really frigid and…
I’m a little delayed in posting these pictures – but this tells the rest of the story because of course I had my camera with me. You can at least see that the kids were chipper, happy every other moment of the evening. It was just the idea of meeting Santa that apparently spooked them…
We’ve never done this before but Cailee was so excited about Santa Claus this year that I thought we might get a cute picture of the kiddos posing with Santa. Welllll, not exactly. Initially, Cailee was looking forward to going to the mall to take the picture and give Santa her wish list, however as…
So now things are really out of order. I posted the post-Christmas pictures before I posted the remainder of the Christmas day photos.

Even though it was Connor’s first Christmas (and he had a good day, as far as I could tell), the day was really about Cailee. For the first time, she seemed to get it. She knew it was Jesus’ birthday, we even sang happy birthday. She also knew all about Santa and while she wasn’t…
I’m multitasking right now as I write this post – mostly because I can’t stand to waste a minute of time – that’s why I always interrupt people and have a hard time sitting still long enough to get any one thing done at a time (I know this is where Cailee must get it)….
So JJ, aka “Santa”, was putting together toys tonight – and Connor was still awake. So he saw his Christmas gift early and it was too tempting not to take him for a spin. So he got a test drive, before we hid it. I think he likes it. Now the real trick will be…
As promised, here is the rundown from our festivities this week. First up, the first ever Dewar gingerbread house. I bought a pre-made house. I was not about to try and actually bake the gingerbread and cut it into nice shapes (and that was a smart decision considering how the cookie cutouts turned out). I…
