December Doings!

Sunday afternoon nap

Yee ha!

Skye LOVES Santa....no matter how many times we see him.

CJ didn't know what to think of Santa........

Until he got a candy cane!

Sledding at Woods Cross Ranch


This is how we had to get them up the hill by the end because we were so tired!



This is Skye's face of the month...she has many.



CJ learned how to cheese for the camera!



A little scary, yet precious



Colt wrapped a live chicken as our gift.
This month has been eventful already!  We started off playing in the Toys for Tots softball tourney, which we were both a little rusty, but it was fun to play again.  Then we kicked off our holiday festivities by going to the Iron Mission State Park Christmas.  They had all sorts of activities for our kids to do like making a Christmas card on a printing press, making rag dolls, homemade ornaments, and last but not least the kids got to see Santa!  We went up the canyon and chopped down our own Christmas tree which I'm so proud of!  Colt picked a dandy!  We decided to go sledding on our way down the canyon, and Skye was a wild woman!  She only wanted to go by herself.  Colt and I held our breath every time she went down, hoping she wouldn't run into a tree.  CJ was soooo mad if he was sitting on the sled and not moving, so we had to hike up and down the hill 50 times between both kids.  We had a blast.  Then to keep the busy streak going my friend and I decided to host an ugly sweater/white elephant party.  There were some dandy gifts!  Colt and I went home with a 10 gal bucket, and some "beautiful" homemade reindeer decorations, which are now tied to the front of our car.  The best part was Colt wrapped a live chicken for one of our gifts, and it scared the living daylights out of the guy that opened it.  I don't think we will be able to top that gift for a long time.  We can't wait for Christmas and we are loving this holiday season!  Until next time!
