Christmas in Wisconsin

This picture was from our MOMS Club cookies with Santa. He was a great Santa, but as you can see, Alia was not pleased with him. Avery loved sitting on his lap and telling him he wanted a train to go around the tree.


We drove to Wisconsin again this year. It was a great trip, the 15 hours went quickly. The children are great travelers. This picture shows Avery trying a frog leg at a Chinese restaurant.


We bought one of our nephews a ball that you add ice cream ingredients to and roll around until the ice cream is done. It was a lot of fun and the ice cream was good.


Alia is making a gingerbread house. She ate more sprinkles than she put on her house.


Avery liked building his house. I liked the candy cane under the roof and the colored piles of snow.


Alia with her favorite bear and her new baby. She was actually pretty good on the skates. She calls the doll on the floor her soft baby. She has to have the bear and soft baby every night for bed or she doesn't sleep. When she wakes up at night she insists I tuck soft baby in.


Playing in the snow. Mom's dog Zoe loves playing and catching snow balls.


Avery loves snow. When we talked about playing in the snow he kept saying all he wanted to do was eat snow. He definitely had his share of snow.


Alia didn't like the snow. She thought it was cold and she couldn't move with all of the clothes on. Once she was standing on the sidewalk she stopped crying.


Maia wasn't sure of the snow. The walks didn't go so well because she kept holding her feet up.


I love Gaven's shirt! It zips up the front and there are mesh eye holes so he can see.


Everyone is excited for the gift opening except for Alia because she has no idea why her picture is being taken.


Bama loves her little lap dog!

When we got home there was a package for Avery and Alia. She loved dressing up.
