Our Family Trip to Washington for Kade's Baptism Part 3, 4, and 5

We went to see where Uncle Loren worked

Kade  and Brooklyn and I walked over to see

the ice on the lake

Then Kade got to open his birthday presents

Sierra was trying to get something from Aunt Tia

(in photography we call this kind of a picture

the Dog Nose effect. Well here it is the 

Kade Toes effect.)

Bobble Head Cosmo

Scrapbooking materials

Alex opened the dart game

Visitor's from Washington

We had visitor's this weekend so 

I had to stop and take a few 

selfies with them.

Sierra

 Brooklyn

 Kade (picture? No way.)

Kyle

First Snowman of the season.

Brooklyn and Kade helped me build

the first snowman of this winter snow season. 

The snow was perfect but so loaded with water that 

the snowballs got real heavy real fast.

 It was cold outside so we made him a fur hat

(out of snow.)

Christmas Day 2014

It only happens in movies, that is until this year, 

it snowed during the night on Christmas morning so that 

when we awoke there was already about 4 inches of snow.

Our traditional Christmas morning family picture 

was moved from the hallway into the front room this year.

Breakfast was first and Kyle was all for it.

However Brooklyn was ready to see what Santa brought.

Soon we made our entrance into the family room 

where the stocking were all filled.

After surveying the fruit in the stockings it was time.

to open presents.

Ben's family and Elaine came down in the early afternoon.

Grandma received her annual gift from the children

 her photo book.

Then we made and raced the candy slieghs.

This is Scott trying to not get in the picture

with his sleigh.

Finally at night Brooklyn really wanted to go caroling,

so we went down to Dawna's 

 and Zach opened the door.
