Masterpieces they created! : )

Warm Weather

I think our "unseasonably warm weather" is our new norm. It was in the 50s last Wednesday, so we spent a good amount of time outside. "Winter" is wonderful!

Wicked

This was my gift to Nate for Christmas. Truth be told, I bought this for myself and took him along, an "us" gift. It was an absolutely fabulous show. Defy gravity and go see the show!

NYE (family-style!)

We were snowed in on New Years Eve; not that we had any dynamic plans for the evening. After hours playing inside, the natives were restless and needed to burn off some energy outside. Hot chocolate awaited the snow men on their return inside!

Christmas at the Farm

We spent a few days at the farm celebrating with the Nelson clan. And while our trip seemed very short, we managed to celebrate the season with quality family time. (I must say, I thoroughly took advantage of my parents' hosting abilities rather than leveraging my own. You guys are hosting this again next year, right?! :)




















(First attempt at sleeping together...it was actually a success!)

Christmas Day

My parents arrived on Christmas Day! Our time with them was super laid back, yet still full of energy. The boys opened more toys (Thank goodness we took a load of toys to Goodwill days before Christmas!), adding to their growing collection of trucks, costumes, play-doh, super hero stuff, guns, swords (That's right. Weapons. It's unavoidable with boys.) and sports gear. 'Tis the season to be jolly!
