Sledding....

This is the last round of Christmas pictures... I promise. These were taken on the afternoon of Christmas day, down the street at Ben's Grandma's house. Her neighbors were really nice and let us completely take over their backyard and turn it into our very own winter wonderland... complete with a snow fort and a massive multi-lane sled run. It was crazy cold outside and I somehow got stuck with Ben's coffee cup outside again, but it was a really fun time and as Ben would say it was the best Christmas EVER! :)

Uncle Steve flying like Superman!

Uncle Brian... he always looks so cool no matter what he's doing.

It's grandpa Ted's turn

Ben and Lizzie constructing their fort. I wish my camera battery would have lasted a little longer so I could have taken a picture of the finished version... it was pretty massive.

Christmas Day...

Grandma Jean putting up stockings on Christmas Eve.

Abby trying to figure out what's inside, too bad that big, huge stocking is Lizzie's and not hers!

The tree and little Abby rummaging through all the presents on Christmas morning.

Ben and Abby still have exactly the same hair! :)

Ben and his huge presents that he wanted to get the girls... that box was taller than Lizzie, yet we still managed to get everything home... don't know how, but somehow we did.

Christmas morning was slightly crazy, we all got up had homemade cinnamon rolls and coffee for breakfast, started opening presents, took a little break so Ben's dad could go get an old family friend while we all got showered, and then came back opened more presents, went down the street to Ben's Grandma's house and then the next morning the girls opened their last few presents. So, that's why in every picture we're all wearing different clothes! :) I do have to admit though, Christmas is way more fun when you have kids.

More Snow Day Pictures...

Here are some more pictures from our Seattle trip of us playing in all the snow...

The view from the deck... everything looked so beautiful all covered in snow.

That green house is Ben's grandma's house, he really wanted to go play in her orchard with all the snow!

Abby's one and only sled ride, smothered between Ben and Lizzie, she was so cold and done after that one.
