 |
| My lovelies |

 |
| Zalmon - not to be trusted |
 |
| beauty queen |
 |
| Commence... Solids |
 |
| Yes, we got our tree ( a nice smelling balsam fir) a week before Dec. 1st. Crazy! |
 |
| These pics are kinda staged. Zal didn't help a lot with the decorating. |
 |
| We had a lovely outing at the Western Development Museum. Zal is still talking about it! |
 |
| Another West Wind Party and no iPads won! Boo! Good thing we were well behaved this year and got one for Christmas! woot woot! |
 |
| Adalyn got lots of snuggles from Grandma and Grandpa |
 |
| On Dec. 1st, first day of Advent, Zal got a Nativity Set. Grandma is telling the Christmas Story with flare! |
 |
| Sugar Cookies |
 |
| Cookies, anyone, anyone??? |
 |
| My little decorator (again, kinda staged....he only decorated two or three) |
 |
| This one Zal definitely decorated himself! |
 |
| Eating sugar cookies in his space ship |
 |
| Peeking out of a tunnel in our backyard! |
 |
| Dave was clearly having more fun! |
 |
| Our little doll |
 |
| Our hungry doll |
 |
| Welcome Auntie Kendra to the Fehrly Wonderful Christmas! Here Adalyn and Kendra are chilling at Lost Creek (Waskesiu). |
 |
| Zal must've done something amazing! Adalyn thinks her brother is soooo funny! And...Grandpa took his post near the fireplace very seriously. :) |
 |
| And you wonder why my first week w/ two kids and no grandparents and a working husband was rough??? S P O I L E D!! hee! |
 |
| Zal loved his little bed in the closet!! |
 |
| We even got to go watersliding at Elkridge Resort while in the Waskesiu area. |
 |
| Adalyn is a big fan of the water! |
 |
| Zal has been eating out of this snowman bowl (for dips) for weeks. And every morning it's the same....cornflakes and cheerios! |
 |
| Merry Christmas (Dec. 23)!!! The Christmas Story and a lego spaceship! |
 |
| Daddy, I like you! |
 |
| Falalalala |
 |
| Paper is fun! |

| Cuties |
 |
| Mmm....thanks for choosing such yummy paper, Nana and Papa! |
 |
| The Best Gift |
 |
| Zal was buzzing for days (and regressed in potty training)...he got his wishes and more....a space shuttle, helicopter, and a bike! |
 |
| We did it! We made Warenki on the 24th! It was DELICIOUS! |
 |
| December 25th: Zal gets up WAY before anyone else (unfortunately, I have the privilege of joining him in his early birdness) and peeked into all the stockings. He figured his was the one w/ the car! |
 |
| "I'm SOOOO excited Auntie Rachie and Uncle Jesse are here!!!" |
 |
| beauties |
 |
| After Adalyn's 6 month couch pics (send me the pics, Kendra)! |
 |
| "If only I could hang out in just my diaper ALL the time!" |
 |
| Proudly riding his bike!! |
 |
| GUILTY (candy heart popcorn) |
 |
| THE END! Goodbye beautiful tree! |
 |
| Yup, he's a smarty pants! |
 |
| Speaking of pants....hmmm And looks like Adalyn is already reading as well! |
 |
| Look, Mom, no hands!!! (turns out she's not quite ready for these yet....Zal finished the Baby Mum Mum for her) |
 |
| Gorgeous Pic (compliments of Kendra) |
 |
| Commence iPhone Pics: Oh, Winter! This was Zal's first experience outside...and although, we've had some successful moments of play outdoors, today, once again, brought tears. We went sledding and his mitt fell off and his hands were wet and cold and well, he screamed the WHOLE way home. Finally, hot chocolate calmed him down. I'm TRYING to get him outdoors, but he's not making it easy....we'll keep trying. |
 |
| Oh, look...playing a bit... |
 |
| I said I had to do a 10K in between each child, so I guess I've crossed that off my list. hee! Just Kidding...NOT ready yet!!! |
 |
| This is for you, Uncle Steve and Auntie Ali: Zal's LAST poop treat! Thankfully, he's back on track since all of the festivities, and I think we can safely say, he's potty trained....even for night! WOOOOHOOO! |
 |
| We went for two beautiful, long skis in Waskesiu! The trees were thick with snow. It was absolutely breathtaking! |
 |
| And there was a big tobogganing hill; so fun! |
 |
| Kendra's arrival |
 |
| Aww..we did see some KENTS! |
 |
| And in keeping w/ Mom's request, we did get family pics taken! |
 |
| Dave is SOOO tall, he doesn't even fit on our pics! |
 |
| LOVE |
 |
| Having a sister like you is like having a rainbow and a smile all rolled into one. (We've been reciting this poem for 15 years now) |
 |
| Do not be fooled at the seemingly sweetness of this photo. Dave is simply doing what he is told w/ a hint, well, more than a glimmer of sarcasm in his eye. |
 |
| He does love me, though!!! |
 |
| The Fam...with the one leaning, tall guy! |
 |
| West Wind Christmas Party: Adalyn is FAST asleep! |
 |
| So Cool |
 |
| Daddy's Airplane! |
 |
| He couldn't be more proud of his dad! |
 |
| Yup, we have built one snowman this year! |
And if you can believe it, this is the condensed version!
