December

Here are a few pics of what was going on at our house in December when we weren’t visiting Santa, in Hawaii, or celebrating Christmas:

On this particular afternoon, I was preparing dinner when I heard a loud commotion coming from the playroom. I raced upstairs to make sure there was no blood, only to find this scene: boys racing cars. Typical.

Santa 2014

We visited Santa and his reindeer at the Cougar Mountain Zoo in early December. The boys were so well-behaved, and we had a great time seeing all the animals together. We bought some apple slices to feed to the reindeer on our way up to Santa’s cabin. There was no wait to get in (we never have to wait more than five minutes). Then Avery presented the list to Santa, shared what he and his brothers would like for Christmas, and we got this cute picture. I love that it’s become a tradition to go to this small local zoo each December!

The boys weren’t feeling so cooperative when it was time to take a picture with Daddy (at the end of the day).

Thanksgiving in Pullman

We travelled over the mountains to spend Thanksgiving with the Avery’s of Pullman. We had a great time, and enjoyed catching up and spending time together. The kids had a blast. It’s always fun to see them play together, they have so much fun! I love that despite all the years between my brother and I, our kids are close in age, and little buddies.

Halloween

It was a fun and busy Halloween this year, as usual. We had a Top Gun Pilot, an astronaut, a lion (and for a while, Cleopatra and a ninja) on our hands. There was WAY too much candy, which means there were very happy children. Fortunately, we were able to bribe the boys to donate the majority of their loot to the troops in exchange for some money and ice cream. Don’t ask me what happened to all the Almond Joy’s. 😉

October

Here are a few more pics from October:

We hiked through the Iron Horse Tunnel. It’s 2.3 miles long. Silas made it all the way through on foot, and got a ride on the way back. What a trooper!

During “B is for baby” week at school, Kieron’s class made rice babies that weighed the same weight as they did when they were born. Kieron’s baby lost a couple ounces in our kitchen, but is better now. Look what a proud papa he is!

Can’t remember what he got in trouble for, but he left this note.
