Snow Days

The results are in..........finally!

I've neglected the poll that many so kindly took the time to vote on. I should have a grande prize for the ONLY person who got the answer right. (I think the winner should reveal themself!) So who wrote our family Christmas letter this year? The one and only ROB. Yes, my wonderful husband did a fabulous job with our letter. Thanks to all of you who thought it was me!

Christmas pics

Since my Christmas slide show did not work out the best, you can click on the picture of Joseph (aka Parker) and view the pictures. Next to the picture being viewed (upper right) are arrows to navigate forward and backward through the pics. Most of the descriptions are above the pictures, except for the Donigan Nativity (I think) which is a must read! It was a fun family night.

Good Ol' Christmas Time

Parker's big 8!

We enjoyed Parker's birthday by going sledding and eating at a pizza buffet.


We've started a dart game tradition on birthdays. Each family member writes on a paper something they love about the birthday person then we put them in balloons and blow them up. The birthday person then gets to throw darts at the balloons to pop them and read their special slips of paper. The first time we did it was for Rob's birthday a couple of years ago. Since then the kids ask to do it every family birthday.


We took Parker bowling with a couple of friends. No, they didn't call each other and plan to all wear red and yes, it was as crazy as it looks.

San Diego!

The first week of December, Rob and I enjoyed a weekend in San Diego for Rob's work Christmas party. Rob's mom was kind enough to stay with our kids. Yes, we had a fabulous time! We are on the Coronado Beach in this picture (it was a bit chilly)and we also enjoyed visiting the beautiful temple.
