Great Parent Moment

In the bathtub tonight Karsten said "Mommy come see!" I turned to see her pouring water over the head of her bath toy and saying, "he is getting baptized".

From the mouths of babes! :-)

Santa's Cheerleader!

Sporting her "Santa Rocks" shirt and poinsettia pom poms, this girl is for sure on the nice list this Christmas season!

Cousins Dinner

After planning out FAR in advance, the Idaho cousins and their kiddos were able to spend an evening hanging out together. It was LOUD and total chaos with more kids than adults, but it was a great reminder of us when we were kids. We were only missing Tori, Ali and her family so the turnout was great! It was a nice time to catch up with everyone.

Parade and Tree Lighting

Today was the annual Christmas parade and tree lighting with fireworks in downtown Coeur d'Alene. Thankfully the weather cooperated and it was only a bit chilly. Karsten loved the parade and the highlight of the night was seeing Mudgy Moose and Millie Mouse from her favorite book Mudgy and Millie. What a great way to get into the Christmas spirit-a great time had by all!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving with the Towery family this year. All of the family was in town, even Great Grandma Nancy. It was a day full of yummy eats, good times and wonderful blessings of family. As you can tell, Auntie Kimi had the camera all night!

A Warren FOR SURE!

Is there any doubt that she is a Warren? Uncle Blake would be proud!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Watching the Macy's Day parade this morning! Thinking of Grammy and memories of my childhood watching with her.

Baking Buddies!

Karsten is having a great time baking with Auntie Kimi and Grandma. Chocolate crinkles for round one!

Mr. Nice Guy Gets Hosed!

What happens when you mix a nice son-in-law trying to clear his in-laws driveway when they are out of town and a driveway filled with 8-10" of snow? A snowblower clogged with the hidden newspaper...not funny!

Poor Chris got the raw end of this one and now is trying to salvage the snowblower. He has cuts all over his hands and arms from trying to maneuver around the very sharp blade. He is hellbent on NOT taking it to get fixed, so now it is a team effort to get this figured out! After his dad gave it a whirl, now his mom is after it. I have to say that this is actually becoming entertaining!

Wish us luck...!

Feeling Like Winter!

With more snow all day and night much was left to shovel. The dogs were so excited to frolic around the neighborhood with each other as everyone was out shoveling the snow. Sierra was having a blast playing with new friends!
