she's been wanting this "make up doll."  thank you kissy and buddy!

that night we went over to the kallenbachs' house to watch the super bowl
 
laurel and freddy had a ball with eli, noble, and mia.  i love the picture of them all on the bed.  about 20 minutes after it was taken we heard a huge THONK.  i knew it was freddy landing on his head on the hardwood floor.  i was thankful we were at a chiropractor's house!

february 4th - someone is FIVE!?!?!
 
yes that doll has scared me several times.  creepy, huh?




mommy hit the jackpot at the disney store online on cyber monday!

january 4th.  somebody is 2 years old.

 
still feeling a little puny
 
we celebrated the next day (saturday) so daddy could participate.  freddy loves his horsey, his tool box, and his monster truck from kissy and buddy!
 
freddy kept riding too hard and hitting his face on the horse.  

we missed Jesus's birthday celebration in December due to snow, so we celebrated Christmas with our friends a little late this year.  January 9th I think
 










 
two of laurel's favorite friends at school are twins - hailey and brendan
 
they invited us to celebrate their birthday with them at chuck e cheese
 
we loved it!
 
our friend alex came over to hang out one saturday
 
then some friends came over for wings and a broncos game
 
growing up pretty fast.  

MLK day weekend we headed up to Dillon with our babysitter, bailey
 
this was the view from our bed in the morning.  unbelievable!
 
the kids had fun with bailey, laurel took another lesson, then pat and i got to ski by ourselves!

the next weekend we stayed with the kellstroms and got to ski some more
 
laurel had a daddy date
 



 
love this one.

Thursday

happy new year!

we woke up on the morning of December 28th in our little room aboard the Disney Dream.  the next morning we woke up here...

 
long before the cruise was planned, we rented a cabin in dillon, colorado with our friends the massengills.  after a super long day of traveling, we had a good first night there.  the next day we rested and waited for fran, robb, maggie, gracey, and robert.

 
princess

 
they made it!

 
the kids all took a lesson at A-basin

 
it was FREEZING, but still a ton of fun

 

 
little gibson and little fran

 
trooper

 
friends!

 
we had some good food, great fellowship, and just plain good hang out time.  the kids even sledded behind the cabin!

 
i had some good one-on-one with this little guy.  he was getting sick...

 
homemade gf (gluten-free aka gracey-friendly) cinnamon rolls for new years day!
