Welcome back snow...don't stay too long

We began the new year doing what we love...putting away Christmas decorations
 Nixon used one of the coupons from his coupon book to have a sleepover with me. We watched Descendants
 Mason in his element at the bouncy house
 The next night Lyza used a coupon to have a sleepover with Kim. She even made this sign to hang on the door: "Do not come in! Sleepover in progress!"
 Nixon made this for me
 These two boys did some serious crafting together last Saturday

 Henry is obsessed with Nixon's drone


When we take pictures of Henry he says "cheese" now
 Mason sharpening his stacking skills

 Henry got to play with some oversized bowling pins at the Kroc Center
 The tipi has also made a return
 Henry (and all of the kids) really liked dessert this night
 Kim and Nixon have been getting pretty serious with Lego
 A gramaphone
 Mason has been having a hard time falling asleep if Nixon goes to bed at the same time. So Nixon has been getting some alone time to do fun things like Light Bright while Mason falls asleep 
 We all went to the Kroc Center in the evening and Nixon rock climbed while Lyza and I ran and practiced basketball
 I also tried some rock climbing for the first time ever and it was HARD! It was also petrifying letting go of the wall and trusting in the auto-belay system to catch me before I free fell to the ground. It all worked out in the end. I have a whole new appreciation for the difficulty we have "letting go" of things
 Sometimes Kim gets to eat breakfast with Henry on the table entertaining her
 The snow started falling here on Friday and Nixon immediately took advantage of it. He was out on his new snow scooter trying new tricks


 We got about 7-10 inches of snow on Friday (have you ever noticed everyone predicts the amount of upcoming snow fall but after the fact it is difficult to find out how much actually fell?) and Kim shovelled three separate times (I shovelled once) including this shovelling at about 8:30 pm
 I think she was just trying to get some time to herself (and I can't blame her)
 We had a feast for breakfast yesterday

 The big boys and I made a snowman yesterday morning
 Lyza also got out in the snow and had a blast
 Kim and I had a Costco date yesterday shopping and picking out new glasses. When we got back home the kids were all dressed up in silly costumes. Here is how Lyza looked.
Have a great week and take care

  1. Lyza, your costume at the end is oh so stylish! Nixon, I like your Lego and Lite Brite creations! Mason, awesome tower! Henry, love you smiles and the video of you saying "cheese!"
