First Time in the Snow

Blake had the day off on Thursday and so we decided the weather was decent and we would take Kenlee out to play in the snow. She had never really been in the snow so it took her a while to get used to it but when she did she loved.

Grandpa Daines took Kenlee around the house in the sled, she didn't want him to stop. She had a hard time staying in but she got the hang of it.

We found out that if someone road with her in the sled she didn't tip over. Blake got to pull Mitch and her around the house.

Gingerbread Houses

Grandma Daines likes to get the grandkids together and have them make gingerbread houses out of homemade gingerbread. It was so fun. This was the first year that Kenlee was old enough to try and praticipate. In all reality I made the house and she ate the candy but it was so fun. I had never done a gingerbread house before so I had a blast with it.

Kenlee asking for more candy, she loved the sixlets!

All of us with our gingerbread houses. Didn't they turn out great! The girls had a blast and now we can us them to decorate for Christmas!

This was our finished house up close, it was so fun to make.

Thanks Grandma Daines!

Thanksgiving 2010

I am a little late getting to this post but its because I wasn't quite sure how to do it because I didn't get my camera out much on Thanksgiving.

This year for Thanksgiving we were with my family up in Idaho. I love when everyone gets together. We always have great fun and funny conversations. This year I made two pies, a low-fat pumpkin pie and Blake's favorite pecan pie. They turned out so good. Blake's mom helped me with the crust so they actually turned out good this year.

Because of all the snow we got the Tuesday before we were not able to go get our Christmas tress like we normally do so we played games. We really needed to get home before the canyon got to dark but the game was so fun that we stayed a little later then we probably should have. O well we got home safe. Thanks Cheryl for hosting our Thanksgiving, it was a great one!

That night when we got back we gathered at my parents house to play some more games. Nathan picked Twister, I quickly volunteered to be the spinner.

Mom and Tiffany were really good at it.

Then Kenlee wanted to try, she thought the mat was so cool!

We decided to put Kenlee in her pj's for the night but after she got her stripped down I remembered that her pj's were in the car and dang cold so we let her run around in her onesie. Karlee turned Christmas music on and Kenlee danced on the twister mat like it was a stage. It was so funny!
We had such a good time and hope to continue our good memories and traditions through the years to come.
