Sunriver with the Neighbs

Trey and Eryn's family joined us in Sunriver a few weekends ago for some fun in the snow.  We had a blast.  There was lots of sledding, hot tubing, eating, watching movies, playing games, and relaxing (well, as much as you can with 4 kids under the age of 4). 

Our cute little snow bunny.

 This guy LOVED running around in the snow.  He even found another dead/frozen bird to eat...yuck!

 Love this face!

 Love this face too!  Kellen makes you work really hard for a smile. 

 We found our own little hill to pack and sled down.  It was the perfect length for all the kiddlets.  I have to say that I think the adults had as good of a time sledding, if not more, than the kids.

 Look at all those happy faces.

A few new peices

Here are a few new ones that I have finished up.  

This one was from Goodwill and looks amazing in person.  It has this beautiful scroll detail around the doors that I stained the same color as the top.  I put it in my family room for now and am going to have a hard time parting with it once it sells.

 This one is from the garage of my friend, Kim.  It was a piece that her husband owned before they were married and she hated it.  It didn't even have the doors on it when I got it.  Mark had to fish them out of the "wood pile."  Once I finished it I had him come over to take a look and he didn't even recognize it.  Now it is off to a new home where it will be a TV stand or buffet piece.  I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

Now to finish the rest of the stuff that has been collecting dust in my garage!

Total Slacker

I realize how sucky I have been lately at keeping this up.  I am hoping to be much better in the coming months.  I also have some very exciting news about another "project" I am starting soon too.  More details later.

So, in order to catch up on the last few months of activities around here, I am just doing one big post.  Sorry, but that is just how is goes around here these days.

We haven't gotten a lot of snow this year, so when we did, we played outside as much as possible.

Thanksgiving was here.

Here is our growing boy.

My only "action shot" of Thanksgiving dinner.

Trip to Sunriver for Christmas

Getting bigger

Ice skating in Sunriver

Cheesy, right?!

They had the MOST AMAZING Santa in Sunriver.  The kids (and I) loved him.  He spent 10 min with the kids just talking and hugging them.  It was priceless.

We made a gingerbread house

More pics of Koda.

We took a sleigh ride on Christmas Eve with Dave's parents.  It was like being in a storybook.  Sunriver is the best place to be at Christmas time.

Getting new Christmas p.j.s. 

The gift of all gifts this year was a Buzz Lightyear that he had been asking for  6 months.  I swear EVERYDAY the first thing he would say to us was "I get a new buzz lightyear for Christmas?  I good boy."  He could hardly wait for Dave to get it out of the box.

Addie got a new dollhouse (and some jewelry, as you can see).

The dog getting even bigger

Back to Sunriver in January

Took a trip to the High Desert Museum

Tried ice skating again

And brought some friends with us

These two were inseparable the whole time. 

Other than that we have been busy with work, preschool, swim lessons, house projects, trying to train our crazy dog, and trying to fit a date night in every once in awhile.
