Christmas 2011

We had a fantastic Christmas weekend with Grandma Kay and Grandpa celebrating Jesus's Birthday! Kendall and Cole made another yummy chocolate cake to celebrate!

Kendall asked how we would mail the cake to Heaven. I think the enormous amount of sprinkles made it to heavy for UPS so we'll just have to eat it!

Up bright and early. So hard to sit still for a picture before they dig in to their stockings!

Cowboy Cole eating breakfast with his Toy Story guys.

Here he goes on his new scooter. Loves his new Woody getup!

Nothing makes Cole more happy than Toy Story and trains!

A very special night!

Kendall and I took Grandma Kay to the Ordway to see Cinderalla the play for Christmas.

Girls night out!

Dinner at Kincaids. So yummy!

Beautiful lights at Rice Park outside the theater.

Grandma and Kendall at the Ordway. They had an amazing princess castle for auction. It was amazing! If only we had 30 ft ceilings we would have put in a bid!

Time to ski!

Today was so exciting! Kendall and Cole both tried to ski for the first time. It couldn't have been a better day to learn to ski. 42 degrees and sunny!

Here we go!

a little scared at first!

and tired! Maybe should have had a little nap first!

but before long, Cole was looking good

and Kendall did amazing!
