After Christmas Fun!

We have had a fun few days after Christmas, especially since Eric has been home with us!
The day after Christmas, the kids got busy playing with all of their new treasures! Tessa and Mommy tried out her Easy Bake Oven. 
 We built the body puzzle we got from Aunt Angel and Uncle Jake.

 We played our new games-Headbandz, Battleship, and Dr. Seuss matching.

 We had a Tea Party with Tessa's new tea set and the treats we cooked in her oven. 


 The cookies were so small. We decided to call them fairy cookies. 
We were pretty much snowed in Wednesday and Thursday. We made the most of it and had lots of fun playing in the backyard. Adam loved having snowball fights, and Tessa loved to just plop face down in the snow or do canon balls. Yep, the snow was that deep! Tessa told me, "No more summer! We love snow!!" and, "Snow brings people together." Where does she come up with this stuff?

 They had lots of fun playing Otters and Geese.
 They were busy Thursday afternoon building a snowman.


 Meet Cougar the Snowman!
 We had some fun writing our Thank You notes.


Saturday we headed up to Salt Lake to watch our Cougars annihilate Virginia Tech at the Energy Solutions Arena-also known in our house as the Jazz Stadium. 

 Tessa was so excited to go to the Jazz Stadium with Adam. She got all dressed up for the occasion. 

 All 3 kids made it through the entire game and they all cheered like crazy! Even Gwen was yelling and waving her arms. People around us thought it was so cute to hear her cheering. 


 We were up pretty high, but it was so fun! We moved closer to the court after half-time.
Tessa loves to "whistle". She puts her fingers in her mouth and screams at the top of her lungs. 


It has been nice to have some free time and so much family time. Going back to "real life" next week is going to be hard on all of us.
