Christmas Morning

Are you kidding? Do you see all those presents! Lilly and Davis were amazed that Santa came into our house and dropped off all those presents. They had so much fun opening each gift and appreciated all their toys! Even Grandma and Grandpa got in on the action helping to rip open the presents, and Daddy's job was to cut through all the packaging and twisty ties that hold the toys into the boxes. Lilly's favorite gifts were the dollhouse and the Rapunzel horse, while Davis loved playing with all his remote control cars. The kids spent the day playing with all their toys...way too much fun for one day!

Christmas Eve

Every Christmas Eve we all open a present from Grandma Kelly. Here are some pictures of Lilly and Davis opening their Christmas Eve present. They loved the act of ripping open the paper, tearing open the box and seeing a brand new pair of jammies. They loved them so much, they stripped off their clothes and immediately put on their new jammies. Oh boy, Christmas morning is going to be fun!

Grandma's Here

There is always baking to do when Grandma is in town. The kids made some yummy chocolate chip cookies with a little help from Grandma. Hmm...not quite sure why there weren't as many cookies as there normally are. Could have something to do with Davis eating the batter!

Christmas Party

Lilly's School Holiday Party is today, so she got all dressed up for the occassion. Thank's Grandma Kelly for the sparkly Christmas dress. I think Lilly would wear it everyday if she could. Who knows...she may still be wearing it this summer!

Milkshake

There was a kid's concert last night at the new Solaris in Vail. The band, Milkshake, played and Lilly got her grove on! The video definitely highlight's Lilly's extreme dance moves to a kid version of a Twisted Sister song. Davis was a little less animated, but had fun watching the scene, shaking his diaper on occasion, and most of all loved following Frosty the Snowman around. Lilly danced until she had to be carried home!

Nordic Skiing in Vail

The whole Place Family went Nordic Skiing today. Mom pulled Davis around the track in the Cariot, while Dad coached Lilly. Lilly was a true natural. She never stopped and wouldn't even wait for mom and Davis...she just couldn't stop. It was so much fun to be able to do something outdoors as a whole family. It was a fun day for everyone.

In the Kitchen

Cousin Olivia spent the night on Saturday. The kids enjoyed a parade in downtown Eagle, playing Rummikub, and baking up a storm. Here are the kids frosting cupcakes and cookies...hmmm, I wonder if the icing even made it on the cookies and cupcakes. Looks like Davis enjoyed his frosting. We love our cousin Olivia and can't wait until the next sleepover!

Winter Fun

A few weeks ago we all went for a run using the jogging stroller, and we stopped at the Downtown Eagle park for a little play time.
