even buddy the elf came

we are leaving for the l-o-n-g drive to minnesota this afternoon. oh my.

we celebrated a colorado christmas this weekend with my family and it was perfect.

lessons from the past have taught us to get kid pictures first thing before they trade their cute outfits for princess and superhero costumes.



i can't possibly describe how much i love this picture or how much fun these girls have together. best friends. the outfits weren't even planned.



do you think my mom got enough candy for the cousins to make yummy trains?

ready set go.






these kids find out if they are having a baby boy or girl today...can't wait!




you stink. you smell like beef and cheese! you don't smell like santa.





the fondu bar was especially fabulous.

we ended the day with a gift from mimi and papa to the kids. fun little car that has zoomed around in our house nonstop. so fun.
