How Cute Am I?

Here is Owen in his new Penguin PJ's from Aunt Erin, of course. After his bath tonight he was freezing, so these were perfect. He was up about an hour past his bed time and a little cranky. The only way I got him to be happy was to sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider". He is doing the "sun" part. He know all the actions to this and "Pat A Cake" and "Book of Mormon Stories". He also knows about 8 words in sign language and his word for the past couple of days has been "Go". At least he seems sort of interested in speaking now.

Papa Berk, Owen and Zhora the Wonder Dog!

This was is a cute picture! I found this little flannel shirt and couldn't resist, it looks just like one of Grandpa Goulet's shrunk in the wash! Berk had just "rescued" Owen from his nap and Owen became Papa's best friend. Before we ate Zhora needed some extra attention. Who is having more fun?!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas Breakfast. Our delightful menu included a German Pancake, (the kids love them), Maple Roasted Bacon, Raspberry Macadamia Yogurt Parfaits and Peppermint Hot Chocolate. This is a great tradition we have started, we even get to use the holiday plates my Aunt Lynn got for us when we were first married!

Paul enjoyed his breakfast, so did Owen!



Mmmmm...Toasty Warm

While building his most amazing fort,Parker took a hot chocolate break. Yummy!

Look At All The Snow!

Parker took advantage of all the snow fall. He went out in the back yard and started building a fort. It was coming along really well, he even had a window being built. And then Colton went out and they managed to somewhat build a tunnel and wreck the fort in the course of 20 minutes!

It's Christmas Time


Owen thinks the tree is so fun. He is always looking under it or standing with his back pushed all the way into it. I am not sure why he finds it so entertaining. The tree is now only decorated on the top half because a certain little person was taking off all the pretties, lights included! The lights are still all the way around the tree, but one strand is no longer working!


Okay, so I am a little late getting more photos on. But here is one that is just so cute! My friend Raquel and I made Christmas pillow cases for the kids. They get to use them for the whole month. I promise Owen really is happy about it. He was sleepy when we did all the decorating.
