Easter Egg Hunt Practice

Our Ward had an Easter Egg Hunt Play Group. It was a fun afternoon and a practice run for Emma, she wasn't into the eggs so much but loved the cupcake. Harrison just enjoys being with his friends on a sunny afternoon. thanks for a great afternoon!

Harrison and Ryder collecting eggs.

Some of the group patiently waiting and listing to the rules.

Harrison decorated a cupcake and then shoved it in his mouth. Typical Harrison style.

Photo Class 101

I look a photo class with one of my favorite photographers and I loved it. I actually learned how to use the camera the right way after only....SEVEN YEARS. I still need to do part II, Emma came with me because it was a one on one class and she was are subject.

She didn't want to sit on the grass so she cried. I love that you can see the apple jack in the middle of her mouth.

Winter Wonderland and 3 Feet of Fresh Snow

We love to play in the snow! We love to visit the snow! We LOVE living in SUNNY California.

The snowman! short, fat with a little Indiana Jones flair.

The boys went sledding and the girls stayed home and took a nap by the fire!

She was so excited!

Emma is an outside kinda girl. She loves to be outside even if its only 25 degrees. We shoveled a lot of snow, well Rich and Jeremy shoveled a lot of snow.

Grandma and I were there I promise!!! Somehow we didn't make it into one photo. Next year.

Family in Town

So what do you do when families in town? Considering I am addicted to photography and photographers I am completely on board with taking family photos!

Mery......Christmas

Okay, so its been forever since I updated. I made a promise that instead of looking at craft blogs and dreaming of having the time to actually complete a craft I would concentrate on updating my own. So before I surf.....I will post. After reviewing it seems like I already posted about the gingerbread houses, so there are two posts. I went to the work to post it again and its gonna stay.

Harrison wanted the Bat Cave with all the men, cars and airplanes.

Prestons wanted lots and lots of Legos, than asked why he didn't get as much "stuff" as Harrison. Well Preston each one of the Lego boxes are over $100 and hours of my assistance. Enjoy! (I am just a little bitter about legos, since I am continually telling Emma to spit them out, putting random pieces in my pocket and pulling them out of the washing machine.)

The Tramp Apparently they were excited about something.

Preston helped Emma open her gifts.

Jeremy was a little into "Christmas Story" this year. I wanted to get a photo of all his stuff but you will have to wait until next year. I am sure there will be more purchases before the festivities start this December. I have a feeling we might take a vacation to visit the actual house and museum. That would be a great surprise weekend.

The Night Before Christmas

Trains, Planes and the Nixon Library

Every year we go to the Nixon Library for the train exhibit. This year there was also a Lego exhibit which the kids just loved! Its a great tradition I hope we do for many years to come.
