On our way to find a tree!

Av's and Scott excited!

Cutting down the tree

Cutting down the tree

We had so much fun going to get the tree this year! We went up the canyon about 8 miles from our house, strapped on the snowshoes and hiked around. The kids did so much better than I thought. Scott, Avery and I were the only ones with snowshoes, so we would walk first to pack down the snow. Crew and Cade were troopers. They would be walking then just sink and get stuck. They never complained, just laughed. It is so amazing how peaceful a snowy forest can be. The tree is now in the house and decorated. Yeah!

Dancer

Afton LOVES to dance and hop around. She is constantly hopping and bouncing and dancing. The other day I went into her room and she had stripped down and was dancing around naked. I got a semi-modest shot because it was just so funny. She really just needs to keep her clothes on!

Dress-ups

Afton found the dress-ups, and has been wearing a tu-tu for three days! I love it.

My Little Cleaners

So of course I have to clean daily....but I have my little ones still at home with me. Needless to say they have been quite the helpers. Cade LOVES to vacuum. He will gladly help vacuum anytime, and Afton would like to...if he would ever give up the vacuum. And then there is the laundry. They love to sort, and put the clothes in the washing machine, then switch the laundry into the dryer. The last picture is of Cade switching the laundry into the dryer. Only he can't quite reach the bottom clothes, so he had to get in to get them out. What would I do without my helpers! Love them.

Daddy Daughter

Avery is in Activity Days!! I can't believe it, but it is true. They had their first Daddy Daughter date the other night and she couldn't have been more excited. Dad was pretty excited too! It was 50's theme, and they had such a good time. They played games, ate, and danced. The dancing I heard was the highlight for both of them. It was soo sweet to see how Avery was BEAMING when she came home. She was so proud that Scott was flipping her around while they danced. What a sweet relationship they have.
