Bowling with Mimi

We went bowling with Mimi on Friday afternoon at Big Al's and had a great time.  It was a good game and Ian and I ended up with a tie.  Here are a few pictures of our afternoon.

Christmas Eve

We had a fun Christmas Eve celebrating a Beaver win and enjoying time with family and friends. The kids were allowed to open their presents from Nana and Grandpa and they had a blast doing it.  More pictures to come, this is just the tip of the iceburg!

Christmas Cookies

Christmas cookies are one of my favorite treats so I very rarely make them because I can't help but eat them all!  This year both the boys wanted to make sugar cookies for Santa and they also want to make sure we put out carrots (or snowman noses as Ryan says) for the reindeer so I figured we better get started.  I had 2 great helper chefs and the cookies turned out great!

Polar Express 2013

We got to ride the Polar Express train again this year in Hood River.  We met Jeff, Parker and Greg's parents at Pfeim Brewery for lunch and then got to spend some time at the playground before we headed over to the train station.  The kids were so excited this year and the ride was a lot of fun.  My kids still don't like hot chocolate (can't figure that one out ??) but they really liked meeting Santa and telling him what they want for Christmas.
