Lots and Lots

We have had a lot of really fun things happen this week, and to hold your interest instead of doing one huge post we decided to do a bunch of small ones... enjoy!

Fun Family Day

Because of all the beautiful snow, we decided to attempt to take Leigha sledding. We went to Don's work because there is a great hill, and stairs to use (if we had actually used them it might have been a good idea). We had a great time, and got really wet, but it was totally worth it. Here are some videos of me attempting to help Leigha sled.

Because there was so much fresh snow, and we went to a completely cool place, there were no previous sled marks to make it easy to go down, so I attempted to make one for us. It didn't really work, and it kinda hurt my bum. (Leigha's sled is really small). Oh yeah the binky in my mouth is Conner's. It kept falling in the snow so I thought it would be easier in my mouth, weird but easier.


After sledding we went inside Don's work and played the wii, it was my first time and I really liked it. Leigha did really good and took turns and did not fuss when it was not her turn. I was very impressed. Conner was angel and just slept the whole time. Now $we can't get him to take a nap, but he is being super cute so it is okay.

And a Happy New Family!

This week I have been trying to teach Leigha to sing we Wish You a Merry Christmas, but her version is a little bit different. She sings We Wish for a Merry Christmas (like 6 times) and then... and a happy new family. I laughed at it a lot and so she thought it was funny, but really when you think about it it's so sad she wants a new family. I know she doesn't know what she is singing and it is cute, she also had a few different versions like a happy new Sunday, and finally we got it right... I think.





Here are some cute pics if my cute kids in cute Santa hats.
Look at that cute smile on Conner! What a little ham!

Also, one of our favorite mother-daughter bonding things is doing hair. I love to do Leigha's hair, and surprisingly she really likes it too, and is really good about having it cute all the time (the real reason it is cute all the time is because she took scissors to it and has a Mohawk that just won't grow out (you can kinda see it in the picture, it is getting better). So to prevent sticking up we tie it down...cutely. Well the end process is super cute, and lasts for quite a while, (so it is totally worth taking the extra time) but taking it out is well, not so cute just see for yourself. When her hair is all messed up she says it's squirrley, I think that's pretty darn cute!

Light em' Up

On Sunday we went and looked at Christmas Lights for a little family fun. Last year for Christmas my dad gave us some glasses that when you look at the lights it makes shapes. I think we have angels, santa's, christmas trees, ornaments, stars, snowflakes, and christmas lights (which is weird because you are already looking at christmas lights, but oh well whatever). They are a lot of fun and the best part about them is that you look like a total dork wearing them. Here is also a picture of our favorite light house, it is insane how many there are, and there is music too!




When we got home from looking at lights we listened to some music just for fun and somehow we found out that Conner loves Ricky Martin (I know what you are thinking and I am a bit worried too!) He was smiling and nodding his head to the music, it was so funny, but do ya think we got it on tape? Nope, but here is a video of him kinda dancing but nothing like what he was doing.

Don's Birthday Bash

Last weekend was Don's birthday and his family ventured through the snow to come and see us. We had a lot of fun eating (who couldn't have fun eating peir 49 pizza yummy!) playing games, opening presents, and visiting. We also did our family gift exchange and it was a lot of fun. We played Therapy with them, and it was interesting to hear a lot of the answers, and I think we all got to know eachother a little bit better, or more than we would like j/k. All in all Don had a really good day, and I think he is excited to be 26, but really I don't think he cares all that much. Here are some pics of our fun.
