SNOW

Summer and Lindsey hit the slopes for our first annual ski trip.
Happy Birthday, Lindsey!

I think Wii golf was a bigger hit than the snow.

Patrick, Drew and Casey pose next to Daddy's massive snowman.
Where's Lilly?
Notice Casey's weapon in hand...the awesome and effective snowball maker.
Thanks, Gramma, for the best toy ever.

The kids looking adorable in their snow gear pre-accident.

Being 5 is good.
She even had enough confidence to keep ringing her bike bell as she rode.
Thanks Auntie Amy for pimping out my ride!

DECEMBER (finally)

Posing in front of Gramma & Papa John's Christmas tree. Casey looking smashing as usual and Patrick looks like he is in pain from his smashed open chin from a gymnastics move gone wrong on the hardwood floor further irritated by his lazy parents who wouldn't take him to the ER to get stitches. His chin-strap-football-style bandage was a work of art, really.

Took a picture of this photo on Gramma's wall of Jeff and Amy as toddlers. Do you see the Patrick & Casey resemblance?

At Goat Rock Beach to celebrate Daddy's birthday followed by a night at the Jenner Inn.

A Christmas tradition! Gingerbread houses with Yaya!

Another Christmas tradition! Station 8 to see Santa and ride on the firetrucks.

BAHAMAS!!!

Sharks!!!

Jellyfish!

Check out the size of this manta ray

Baby sting rays

The aquarium was our favorite part of Atlantis.
The kids thought the diver was more exciting than all the fish.

The icon of vacation

We did great on the airplane!

We couldn't resist a photo op in front of the beautiful vines.
