I heart your cookies!

Bee and Jack had a super time decorating some Valentines Day cookies and cards for class! Jack even made a special one for mama! Love!

First Snow!

Jimmy wasn't so sure about the first snow! But Bijou and Jackson got into their snow suits in record time and were ready for some fun!

Christmas fun!

It was a great holiday season this year with plenty of things to do. We decorated cookies and ate them.... We got to go pick a pretty tree, spend time with family, and get some pretty cool gifts! We feel incredibly blessed! Even Jimmy had a good Christmas!

Coldstone with dad!

One of our favorite things to do when we visit dad is to go to Coldstone creamery. Jackson's favorite flavor, "watermelon" was gone for the season and so he picked eggnog ice cream with gummy bears! Bijou went for birthday cake ice cream with sprinkles!

Bijou's 9th!

Bijou had a wild time at her wild thing themed party! She got to have all her family, friends (and their brothers) over for games, dancing, pizza, and incredible cake. Nana out did herself this year with a wild thing inspired cake complete with Bijou and Jimmy. I am so proud of what an amazing young lady Bijou has become. xoxo

Happy Turkey Day!

This was a big year for Bijou and Jackson as they got to help on almost every dish in the kitchen. They sorted the cranberries, measured ingredients, set the table, and even learned how to make Nana's incredible pumpkin pies. I was super proud of them and thankful for two incredible kids. We had a restful and thankful couple of days spending time together!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

We were invited to join the Paxtons and friends to got to the Oregon Children's Theater and see, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!" Bij wore her new holiday dress and looked gorgeous, and Jack looked super handsom in his new shirt and sweater. They were on their best behavior and had an incredible time. This was Jack's first live theater so he was completely riveted! Infact as the Kathy and I peeked down the row of kids they all had huge eyes and open mouths! It was truelly a treat and we can't wait to go again!
