Snow Fun!


This past weekend, we finally got a bit of snow that lasted. The days are now colder so the snow is soft and powdery. Andy bought our first sled, so we bundled Logan up and took him out to play, and he liked it, although I think he enjoyed eating the snow more than anything :) Check out the fun photos on our picture page.

Christmas Lights!

This is our first year to put up outdoor Christmas lights, and what fun it is! Andy and I did not agree on what lights to put up, he said only white, and I said multi-colored, so I compromised and we put up red and white :) I think it is fun to put up lights, but Andy would not agree! He is such a perfectionist when it comes to the lights, that it takes him a while, so he doesn't enjoy it, but they turn out beautiful. We had to borrow our neighbors ladder to put the wreaths and bows up, and Andy again had the fun job of attaching them to the house! you might be thinking...what did I do in all of this, but I put up the candy canes by the front steps, and the lights around the garage, and am very proud of them both. Oh, the fun of home ownership!

Ho, Ho..Oh NO!

This weekend was the Anadarko Children's Holiday Party. It was held at the Aquarium in downtown Denver, and was amazing!!! There was food, drinks, face painting, balloons, gifts, a magician, fun characters, cookie decorating, ornament making, and of course Santa! Logan was very excited to see Santa, and as we waited in line to get his picture taken, he would wave and clap, and when it was our turn, he even gave Santa a high five, but when the time came to sit on his lap...Logan wanted nothing to do with him :) So, we opted for picture "B" which was a family picture with Santa, and it turned out great.

With the party, we got to go through the aquarium as well, so we decided to do that at the end when the party was over. Andy and I were excited about the aquarium, and we thought that Logan would be too since he loves the fish tank at the Dr's office, and likes to make a fish face whenever he sees a fish. But, you never can tell with kids, and the fish at the aquarium were apparently too big, and the lights to dim for Logan's liking, and he cried most of the way through. Maybe next year :)
