January 2016

We rung in the New Year by celebrating Christmas in Colorado with the Helmkamp family.  What a great Christmas gift to get this time as a family!  I don't think the trip could have gone any better--it was a blast!

We rented a pair of boots and skis for the boys to share
one morning so they both got to try skiing.

Riding the Magic Carpet to the top

It was so funny to see these little guys "skiing" down the "hill"

We all took turns watching kids, so we even got to ski together a little.

This was the first time Jesse really played in
the snow by himself--he loved it!

Jesse's version of "jersey over the head"

I thought this was actually a pretty good outfit for a Minion...

...and a pretty good outfit for Lane! :)

Lots of people agree that these two look alike...

Jack turned FIVE this month!  He wanted a Cyclone party...that'a boy!
