I realize I never put any pics of my kiddos at their school programs up. BUUUUUT I only have one of Bridger as Rudolph :) oopsies. They both were fantastic and so super excited about it.
All dressed up for Christmas Sunday... Parx was out shoveling snow and looks a little chilly.
Our winter wonderland...snow snow and more snow. We had a snow day the day before Christmas break and a snow day the monday after Christmas break. It's been soooo fun sledding and playing outside.
Max really didn't like the snow...AT FIRST! Now he's a crazy snow eating, sledding fool. He still doesn't mind looking out the window at the kiddos playing in it though (in his boots of course).
LEAVENWORTH with our besties.
It was an adventure... on our way our friends car broke down so we spent some time at Fred Meyer while Ty went and picked them up and we crammed 10 people in our car and 10 in the other running car. It was fun! There were thousands of people there though...we could have done without that.
The lights were beautiful and the kiddos had a blast sledding even in the FREEZING cold.
CHRISTMAS TIME!!! We had Ty home for 2 weeks and it was soooo AWESOME. How will I survive without him?? and without my parents?? They were here for 10 days (with an escape for 2 nights to Leavenworth in the middle)! We had a blast...a mega blast. We stayed up late everynight playing games and did lots of fun christmas activities with the kiddos.
Christmas Eve jammies... followed by Christmas lights scavenger hunt in our jammies and a few games before bed :).
Bridger's Santa...

Parx's Santa
Christmas dinner...these crazy carnivores.
And my Jello freak..
And my roll freak...
This puzzle..oh geez this puzzle (the paint all over the table cover added extra difficulty). 999 pieces later we FINISHED! 2 nights up till 2:30 am... many many many hours later...one piece missing the entire time. SO FRUSTRATING. Can't even begin to explain the time we wasted looking for that one piece. Next year we might scale down to 500 so the kids can help a little more. This one was HARD.
The extreme puzzlers. yes we modge podged the crap outta this sucker. NEVER will we do it again.
This year was full of firsts... Ty finally decided to tell us about this amazing river he heard about and the boys spent 3 days fishing their lives away. Even if it was 18-20 degrees. It'll be a post all to itself with all the huge fish they caught! I mean HUGE! Parx was in HEAVEN.
Tay came up for the last weekend of the break to help Ty frame the basement and fish and they are all coming back in like 3 weeks because that's how amazing it was.
Fishaholics... it's in our blood.
We went sledding A LOT...
This smokin hot grandma was so proud of her lego creation... Bridger bailed on her fast so she built it by herself. It took atleast an hour... but i'm thinkin closer to 2.
My main squeeze and his day after Christmas addiction... only the first store right here.
Shout out to Tay for all his help framing, dad for painting the stripes in the nursery and all the edges on my accent wall, and of course mom for hanging with little Max while I enjoyed a day out fishing and the million other things she always does to help me! They are simply the best.
Pic from their mini honeymoon to Leavenworth.
We had a wonderful Christmas with some AMAZING people.
We also had time to reflect about the true meaning of Christmas and watched short videos of Christ with our kiddos for 25 nights straight in December. We all enjoyed the stories of His birth and the miracles He performed on this earth. It ended with his crucifixion and resurrection and we know that what he went through was for each of us and we are so deeply grateful.
