Fun in the snow!

Snow has come to Puyallup, WA...and lots of it! As you know, this is a big deal around here as we hardly ever have this much snow on the ground for this long. It's been snowing off and on for a week now and we probably accumulated 6-8 inches. Enough for some snowmen and sledding!

These pics are from our first round of snow...not tons on the ground yet

Then the real snow came!

There is a big hill next to my parent's house that Lindsey and I grew up sledding down. It was a blast reliving our memories with the kids!

We even got mom to go down the hill!

Some of the neighbor kids had constructed a little jump and this was Papa and Asher after going over it! My dad's "ugh" could be heard from far away!

Getting ready for Christmas!

We have been busy getting ready for our favorite time of the year! I love coming home to a house decorated with the signs of Christmas, having a Christmas tree shining in the background, and hearing old and new favorite Christmas CD's played!

Here we are at our annual trek to the Christmas tree farm. Asher was VERY happy to have a chance to hold the saw and help cut down the tree!

Tatum had fun playing in the dirt.

Papa had lots of helping cutting down his tree!

Keven and Asher cutting down our tree!

Tatum would NOT get off of Papa after cutting down his tree...it was really funny.

We had a great time decorating our first ever gingerbread creation.... a train!

This is Asher's special tree...his own creation. Our neighbors were decorating outside and as branches were falling off of their tree, Asher would grab them. Sabina eventually bundled a bunch together for him and we did this with it. It's my favorite decoration of the year.
