We have been busy getting ready to leave soon for Jeff's wedding this weekend in Idaho Falls and getting everything done for Christmas since we aren't coming back here until after Christmas. This weekend should be interesting for traveling- lots of snow. We are just hoping there aren't too many road closures.
I've been making Almond Roca (yummy recipe from my co-worker, she's the dentist's wife) and lots of candy coated popcorn (coated with almond bark) for various friends and people at church.
I've been trying to convince a 3 1/2 year old that we can't leave tonight for Jeff and Sadie's wedding because Daddy has to work tomorrow before we can leave. She was NOT happy with that answer and I was tired of hearing her whine and cry about it all night tonight.
After Kyle got home from work today, he helped Kate build a snowman and an igloo- her request, random I know. We got a couple inches of snow this afternoon and tonight. We may get more so we'll see. Having a 3 yr old SO excited about the snow makes it so much more fun.
Preston is a book worm. He loves to look at books. Preston will even bring a book to you so you can read it to him. Kate loves books too so we read lots of them at our house.
Preston checking out this man called Santa. He wouldn't stop staring at him. It was hilarious! I was amazed he was fine with him. Kate screamed with her first Santa visit.
Kate not scared anymore of Santa. :) She was excited to get a candy cane and still talks about how Santa came to her Church. She thinks he is still there. I have to remind her that he flew back to the North Pole to get ready for Christmas. wink, wink.
We attempted to make gingerbread houses out of graham crackers for Family Night. This is our little pathetic house. :) I needed stronger "glue". It kept collapsing, oh well.

Good luck with all the winter driving you are going to be doing. I know of no other people that can handle it as well as you guys. Me...not so much, ha! Bring on the jokes.
I love 3 yr olds and all their excitement. Cute snowman.
I can't believe Preston liked Santa either. Love that he's 'checking him out'.
I'll have to tell you about Tara's genius way of making a strong graham house. Love your organized candy!!
Cute, cute pictures....... So darn cold though. Can't wait to see all.
How cute. Way to go Preston on not crying. What a fun time of year, isn't it? Snow, Santa, lights, decorations, activities, sugar cookies, etc. etc.
Wow, hope you have a safe travel this weekend. Not a very good traveling weekend! It'll be worth it though.
I can not believe that Preston didn't cry. My kids are always so scared for so long! Way to go Preston!!
Drive safely. Tell Kate I love the snowman. Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy the family.
I love reading your blog waiting to see what the next creative thing you have come up with is! Can you share your Almond Roca recipe? It sounds Yummy! Have fun in Idaho.
Cute little graham cracker house. I love it!
We're finally starting to see some differences in personality between Kate and Alyssa - Alyssa wouldn't go anywhere near Santa! Halloween showed her shyness too. Funny because it used to seem like they were so much the same!
