It's the holidays and we have been busy! After a long time of walking around in the forest and climbing through manzanita we found our tree. Here is Ella in front of it...

To make the holidays more festive we FINALLY got some snow on the ground! The kids have been very excited about the snow this year and like to spend as much time as possible outside playing in it.

The kids are at such a fun age for Christmas this year. Ella was very into decorating the tree, she kept telling me that I needed to buy more ornaments so she could decorate everyday. Everyday we try to wait paitently for Santa, but boy is it hard!

We finally took the kids ice skating. Northstar has a great rink with fire pits and lots of hot cocoa. We headed on up with the Hatcher family (below is Ella's friend Summer) Ella is hooked, absolutely loved skating. Micah was happier running around the outside of the rink chasing her!

Here is Ella with her favorite friend Summer.


Happy Holidays!
