Cookies on the Deck

When Sue and Larry came out for their ski trip in March, Sue brought homemade sugar cookies. The kids LOVE them. They live in our freezer, and only come out for very special occasions. On Monday evening after the zoo, Chris took Emily sock and shoe shopping, in hopes of finding socks and shoes she would be willing to wear. I knew they were going to get some sort os special treat, so I brought Addie and Elizabeth out to the back deck and gave them each a CeeCee cookie. They were so excited!

Did you know there's a certain order in which a sugar cookie should be eaten? First you take off all the toppings!

A neighbor gave Elizabeth this big kid bike last summer. It lives on our back deck, and sometimes she climbs up on it and pretends to ride. She's so excited to be a big kid!

This was our cookie-eating view. Not bad! :)

Trick or Treating

Dee Dee came over, per Halloween tradition, to give out candy while we took the kids trick-or-treating. This year, though, she came dressed as Elmo, which gave everyone a good laugh, and entertained all the kids, young and old, who came to ring the bell for treats. CeeCee and PopPop were in town for trick-or-treating, and they also got dressed up for the occasion: a scary witch and a rocker. Dylan and Britney had other plans this year, so we didn't get to trick-or-treat with Callie and Annie, but hopefully that tradition will continue next year.

Spiderman (with a princess crown and wand for fun)

Not Scawee Monster

DeeDee was instructed to watch Scarecrow while we were gone, and to let the kids give him a high five if they wanted to.

Frank's yard, scary as ever!

The kids got tired after a block or so, but the adults wanted to keep going, so I ran home to get the wagon and they got to ride and go further.

Niwot Halloween Trick or Treating

We went back to Niwot this Halloween for their downtown trick-or-treating and parade. The parade was quite a bit more organized this year, with a band and everything! Emily wasn't feeling super hot, so she rode in the stroller for trick or treating. CeeeCee and PopPop came to Denver for Halloween this year, which was super exciting for the girls!

Holidays!

Seeing as I'm about half a year behind on the blog, I'm just going to lump all the holidays that have occurred in the last six months here in this post. I apologize (to those of you who read the blog in real time, and to myself, Chris, and the kids for future reading) for getting so incredibly behind. It's one of those projects that snowballs in its intimidation as time goes on. The more time that passes, the more pictures we take, and the more overwhelming "work on the blog" becomes. It moves to the bottom of the to-do list, because it just seems too daunting. But I'm not ready to give up entirely, so here we go...

The Fourth of July

Here come the Fire Trucks!

Halloween

We left the jack-o-lanterns and babysitter DeeDee behind to go trick-or-treat through the neighborhood.

Thanksgiving

With the Nicolls

With the Hicks'

Christmas

Christmas Eve

Booger the cat

Elizabeth was spellbound watching Callie paint her toenails

Cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer

Christmas Day

Midway through opening presents, Addie thought to go check out Santa's plate, and came running back with it to show us that only a few crumbs were left!

Addie and Emily each got to go to the toystore with me to pick out presents for each other. I took Addie first and she chose the pink unicorn for Emily, and then asked me to make sure that's what Emily got for her, too. When I took Emily shopping, she browsed around for a bit, but eventually landed on the pink unicorn for Addison.
