Maren, super star!

She's learning new songs. And of course, you can't sing without a microphone. Just happens that she had the computer microphone this time. You can't sing alone either, so she called on daddy for back up!

And the stockings were hung

Too much partying today for Abbie's 2nd birthday and this is where we found baby Dalen. Passed out under the tree. Man, what is in that milk he's drinking?



Poor kid under the tree


We saw Santa today at the ward party. Maija was all smiles. Preston enjoyed it too but my camera died.


Maren, well, she's afraid of everything. Lots of screaming, crying and shaking. She grabbed that bag of candy and begged to leave! She even covered her eyes and kept saying "scary! scary!"


Maybe next year she will realize that he's the man with the big fat sack full of toys.



We are lucky. We get 2 sets of stockings to fill!

Crazy cute people

The title says it all!

Christmas tree

Its finally up. Took us about a week to finish it. We have 2 trees. One is a kid safe tree with no glass ornaments and then a big fancy one with ornaments. Maren seems to like the fancy one better since she is constantly pulling the glass balls off and carrying them around.

More chatty Maren

The search for Plex continues. Listen to her at the end. I guess she didn't want to sing a song. And yes, she still calls me Ahnah. :)

Move over Chatty Kathy...

The Marenator is in town! She was very chatty tonight and actually kept talking once I turned on the camera. If you know Maren, then you know she is obsessed with Yo Gabba Gabba (google it if you don't know what it is). Plex went missing tonight. Its upstairs somewhere according to Preston. He said he had it last night but threw it somewhere in the bedroom.

Snow snow snow

It snowed. I've been in denial since we moved here that it would actually snow. It did, I am not pleased. Roads were icy this morning but were clear by the afternoon. It stuck around on the grass long enough for the kids to get home and play for a bit. Watch Maren the destructor smack down the snow wall they were trying to build.
