Seeing Santa!

We made our annual trip to Bass Pro to get our picture taken with Santa. Would this be the year that everyone smiled? 

Writing her letter to Santa.

Off to Santa it goes.

Luke writing his letter.

Riding the carousel.

Gwynn working on her bow hunting skills.

Not perfect, but the best we've ever gotten.

Cousins.

Working on our shooting skills.

Teamwork!

Family Pictures 2016

We went out to Vincent to have our pictures taken for our Christmas card (and just to have some nice pictures)

Gwynn was pretty cooperative. 

Luke had somewhere else he wanted to be. 

Cranky guy.

Thank goodness for Luke's kazoo...

We had a power outage (or power cut as the kids call it) but we were prepared!

Sweet Frog

Gwynn's been having the best time with her Girl Scout Troop. Today, she got to earn a badge at Sweet Frog!  

Waiting on the other Daisies to arrive...

Starting the tour...

They even got to look inside the yogurt machine!

I'm really surprised Gwynn didn't help herself to some toppings during this part of the tour.

The best part of this badge-earning experience.

Getting her badge...

Taking a walk...

Walking around the neighborhood.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Christmas time is the best time.

Trees are up and decorated.

The kids love these things.

One of our favorite traditions!

We made our annual trip to pick out a tree with Mimi.

Only one of these boys is in the Christmas spirit.

The kids like running around between the trees.

Luke thinks it's too loud when the chainsaws cut the trees,

Silly faces.

Getting things set up.
