Elizabeth

Maggie has been talking alot lately about wanting a baby at our house. She knows she knows she wants a baby girl that she thinks should be named Elizabeth. For Christmas, Maggie got a new baby doll who she named Elizabeth. She's doing a great job taking care of and loving Baby Elizabeth.

Christmas Part II

Mingi and Grandpa Lew came out to visit the week between Christmas and New Years. We took them camping in a yurt and snow shoeing. It was a really windy night, so we found lots of ways to play and entertain ourselves in the yurt because the fire wasn't doing well in the wind.
It was a great trip!

Christmas Part 1

We spent Christmas in Colorado again this year. We are working on establishing some new traditions out here. On Christmas Eve, we had dinner and opened presents with the Tarlini's. On Christmas Day, we had our family (Tarlini's, Juan/Nikki, Cory) to our house for dinner (and some Big Buck Hunter thanks to Rah).

Yurt Trip #2

We took another yurt trip with Nana, Grandpa Ron and Emily. Although, while the rest of us snow shoed, Maggie decided to ride on a sled that Daddy pulled. She called him her reindeer and yelled "Ho ho ho"

Snow Day

Daddy had a snow day from work, so we snow shoed (not sure how to spell that :)) to the park to play!

Snowball Fight

We had an usual snow for Denver, where the snow was heavy and would actually pack (it's usually too dry here). After coming home from dinner, we ended up having a giant snowball fight with Ack, Rah, Aunt Emily, Nana, Grandpa Ron and some friends. Maggie was inside watching from the window (in her Princess dress), when she looked out the window and said to her Grandpa "I've gotta get out there!".

Gingerbread Houses and Cookies

Maggie had the chance to make a Gingerbread house with Daddy and decorate cookies with her friend's Seth and Cassidy.
