Scenes From (Busy) Days

Here's a hodgepodge of unorganized photos from Christmas break until now.

We were pleased to have several relaxing and fun days with Auntie Shari. I have a much better photo than this one, but I was forbidden to use it. Oh well, the baby wasn't in that one.

Before Auntie Shari came we enjoyed a weekend with the Anderson's. I think Avrie's shirt sums up this photo very nicely!

This was before our hot tub froze up. Apparently 20 below zero temps aren't good for the pump. They aren't good for our electric bill either!

Thawing out after being out in the frigid night air.

Ayla asked for Skittles several times for a Christmas present. In fact one of her school projects was to draw a photo of what she most wanted for Christmas. Guess what she drew? Yep, a packet of Skittles. Uncle Seth was happy to oblige her of course.

The baby has discovered candy as well. (Thanks, Grandma Tina.) She also knows what the camera is & hams it up like this almost every time!



The hot tub was a great boredom buster. Moments before we suggested taking a family dip they were lying around and moaning about, "Nothing to doooooooo!" Must get it fixed. Hopefully the
weather will cooperate soon!

Fun post - Ayla cracks me up with her Skittles - it's the little things in life. ;) And the pic of Kaia with her candy - priceless! The kids weren't excited about getting into the hot tub were they?? ;) Yeah, I'm thinking getting that thing fixed is definately high on the priority list!

Kaia's face would be good to use on an anti sugar ad!
