Christmas

We had a great Christmas and loved having the the kids home for two weeks. Christmas Eve day we went up to Bogus to ski and took turns watching Elizabeth in the lodge. Seth was kind enough to take Anna up on the Coach lift and while getting off the lift he didn't have a good hold of her and she took off down the mountain. I kept hollering at her to "pizza" and Seth and I both tried to catch her but she eventually stopped on her own and was sobbing. She agreed to go down a few more times and on her last run she had a smile on her face so wasn't traumatized by the event. Christmas morning we got up just before 7. Elizabeth wasn't too excited about the presents she received, the excitement for her was opening the presents and she didn't care whether the present was hers or belonged to someone else. Here are a few pictures, I need to be better about taking more pictures.


Legos are always sure to please these warner boys!


Now Aubry can keep her earrings and other jewelry organized.




Seth and Luke both got remote control helicopters and they are really good at flying them so far.


Anna's reaction to opening the one thing she wanted most, black boots.


This was pretty much her reaction to all her gifts!





Having fun playing the Wii

Ski trip to Bogus Basin

Aunt Macy came to stay for a week and we enjoyed every minute. One of the activities we did while she was here was skiing to Bogus Basin. Macy had never been skiing before so we were excited to take her. She did great and we all had fun. It started snowing a lot when we finished and started home. It was pretty slow going down the mountain and we got stuck behind a snow plow until Aaron scared us and passed it! Good times!

SNOW DAY

We woke up this morning with a message from the school district informing us that school had been canceled. Aubry wanted to find out if her school was canceled as well so she asked me to help her find out. I found her on the computer googling "snow day" I suggested her looking on her school web site, and to her delight her school was canceled as well. So thanks to the snow there is no school today. The kids have loved being outside playing in the snow. I went out to watch the girls play and shovel the driveway a little, what a pain. My neighbor walked over and said he was headed over with his new snow blower to clear the driveway, what a relief, and what a great neighbor we have!!! The kids came in long enough to eat lunch, enjoy some hot chocolate and help me clean up the kitchen and living room and then back outside they went. It's been great! Enjoy the slideshow!

Anna looses her first tooth!

Anna woke up Wednesday the 6th in a very happy mood and was excited to show us that she had discovered a loose tooth. After school she walked in the house with a tissue in her mouth trying to stop the bleeding, a big grin on her face, and a tooth in her hand. Our neighbor told her she was an expert tooth puller and convinced Anna to let her pull her tooth! Thursday morning she found money left from the tooth fairy along with her tooth. She has decided to keep it forever!
