Waiting for the first big storm of the season. Well a good one hit us and the kids had a great time playing in the snow the next morning. As some of you may have heard, Utah was expecting a ginormous BLIZZARD one Tuesday night. The Whole state seemed to be shut down for this Blizzard we were to expect. Well the snow came and went only leaving what looked like a normal Utah snow storm. The storm this Sunday morning and a week later produced more snow than this alleged Blizzard of 2010!!
The kids playing out in the Winter Wonderland!!

Trimming the Tree!
Of course it wouldn't be the holiday season with out trimming the Christmas tree. The weekend after Thanksgiving we decorated for Christmas. It was a fun family activity for us. The kids were so excited to decorate. Fighting over what they were going to set up, throwing things at each other...Ahh what a fun evening it was.
Ahh..lil baby W. hanging his first ornament with help from mom!
Sisters hanging their sisters ornaments!
Keegan so eager to hang Every ornament..up high!
The finished product.
After we decked the halls, Gary had a great idea to make Christmas cookies with the kids.
We pulled out the Christmas cutters and got elbow deep in dough!
The kids really enjoy eating the dough...I mean making cookies! I think the favorite part is decorating them. Not only do you have to lick your fingers free of excess frosting and sprinkles...you are that much closer to trying the masterpiece!
And YES, we had sprinkles and colored sugar everywhere after they were finished. And I think a few cookies had half a bottle of sprinkles on them!
After all the excitement, it was time to settle down for a nice Christmas movie. One of our homes favorite movies is The Polar Express. We got all snuggled in our jammies and a warm blanket and watched.
It was a wonderful evening spent with the family to help ring in this holiday season!!

How fun :) I love sugar cookies too. Too bad they can be such a pain to make!
