Merry Christmas!

Gorgeous Christmas sunrise over Mt. Hood.

A little Christmas morning reading with the Ervin uncles.


Checking out the work that Santa and the reindeer did to the cookies and lettuce...they must have been hungry! Kelsey was most impressed with the hoof print left by one of the prancing reindeer...

Santa loot - the favorite was the (second hand!) toddler bike - K and Steve will be going on some biking adventures together soon!

Blowing out Baby Jesus Birthday Cake candles!

Last Weekend

Christian was kind enough to let Kelsey practice with his electric guitar...she was pretty excited!

Tiring Uncle Christian out...theme of the weekend ; )

Ready to see The Nutcracker for the first time - she LOVED it! Her favorite part was the three-headed rat...this might become a Christmas tradition.

Nothing like swinging in the snow in sub-zero temperatures...

"Goin' on a 'venture, Mama"

Steve (at K's request) fit her in his roller bag...she said she was on her way to the airport.

Fun at Home

Hours of fun with play dough!

Millie has been pretty desperate for company after we came home from our trip...so desperate that she actually came up and cuddled with K on her own. Did I mention she was desperate?

Thanksgiving Fun in Greeley!

Discovery Zone at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science - Kelsey was fascinated with the real human brain...

Go Big Red! (holding replica of the stadium)

Happy Turkey Day

Thank you, Nan!

Papa's Birthday Weekend

Artiste...

Lately, painting has been giving all of us a great start to the morning.

Trick-or-Treating

Kelsey, Steve and I went trick-or-treating with our cute neighbor (dressed as Dora the Explorer) and her grandma. Three houses was plenty for two 2.5 year olds!

More deer...

The deer really made Kelsey's morning yesterday! They are really making good work of the apples out front which means they come by to see us pretty often...much to Barney's annoyance.

"Lookit, my foot's dancin'"

Happy Halloween!
