Sledding

We weren't able to have a full family sledding contest this year. Anna did win, but Justin would say that was because he stayed behind with me to take care of the kids. :) Clayton got some practicing in! He still talks about playing in the snow with Mimi and throwing snow balls at her. :)

More Christmas in Galena!

Clayton got up pretty early on Christmas Day and both he and Maddie liked looking in their stockings. Clayton was glad the reindeer had eaten their carrots and that Santa had enjoyed the cookies he left. We spent Christmas Day at my grandparents and had some delicious Prime Rib! With the train table Mimi, Papa, Mommy and Daddy got Clayton and then all the track, trains and accessories he got from everyone else, I think he has a whole railroad! He loves playing with it so much and asked if he could bring his table to the "work house" aka Galesburg. :)

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we all went to church (Wont get into that story). Then we all came over to my parents and had some super yummy soup my mom made, lots of drinks and got to all hang out. Of course we continued the annual tradition of Great Mimi reading the Night Before Christmas! We all have so much fun together, wish we could do it more!

Meeting of the minds. :)

Christmas in Galena-Post 1!

Anna and I always remind my parents we are so happy they moved to Galena. There is so much to do and it is always so pretty up there regardless of the season. Before Christmas we went to the Eagle Ridge Inn to look at the life size gingerbread house and get Starbucks. Clayton drank his weight in chocolate milk too! Clayton loved watching the bakers repair the gingerbread house with icing. It was super fun to see.

Um, Scary! These two in a car was interesting, Maddie Boo slipped under the car a couple of times. Hope Clayton is more careful in about 14 years!

Dancing Star

Maddie Boo LOVES to dance. I will have to catch her in action when she isn't in her chair, but here is a preview. Daddy wasn't happy with the shirt action. :)

Macaroni!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is hard to beleive that Maddie is already 9 1/2 months old. She is starting to eat some "pick up" food. She seems to love everything. Oh and she has an ice cream addiction. Enjoy the video!
