Winter Pictures

Before we roll back around to winter once again, here are pictures 
from this past winter. Wow, it feels like a lifetime ago!

Making Christmas cookies

Can you spot Joe's cookie with the spinach on it? 

Playing video games with the Sternbergs

The kids got the big tv, leaving these two die hards with their itty bitty screen.

Trying out a new drone.

Christmas with the cousins.


Mid-winter scooter ride

Making gingerbread houses.
I think it might have been easier to just build a real house. Not sure the person who designed these kits ever really tried to put them together with three kids. 

But we stuck to and and made them work!

Grandpa P. and Charlie

Christmas morning presents

Something fun this year - we did an Amazing Race themed Christmas. 
The kids had to do a series of challenges and puzzles to earn their presents.

Jump-roping around the house.

Kicking a soccer ball around the house.

Completing their puzzle challenge.

Despite this look, the kids seemed to really enjoy the challenge.

But not so much the "Red Hots" that he accidently ate, thinking they were sweet candies.


I can't remember where we were driving too, but this picture of a sleeping George still cracks me up.

Spending some of their Christmas money at Five Below - their happy place.

My happy place

Love when a trip to Menards can also be a fun outing for the boys.

And that brings us into the new year. Never would have guessed all that 2020 would bring. Grateful for the ways we can see sprinkles of goodness in the midst of difficult times.

First bike ride of the year! And George's first time without training wheels! Such a champ! Enjoyed lots of bike rides during quarantine...
