Christmas Shopping

Kimmie has been busy...



Anyone hiring part-time help and/or looking for job?  Need cash to pay help to wrap ;)

A Little Early for Easter

Elle just couldn't resist dressing up brother!

Checking Out The "New" Toys

Elle pointed out all the key features of the bumbo to Baylor.



Then she brought him over a selection of toys to play with.

Baylor loved it and sat for quite a while!

Okay moving on we have the jumpy thingy!  This was Elle's personal favorite and we believe the reason why she still jumps a lot!

Elle was such a great helper getting Baylor started.

Lighting up the town

While in Ellensburg we attended the lighting of main street.



It was a bit chilly!

The local ballet performed in the windows.

Sophie and Ceci checked out the Ellensburg Bull.

And then we did!

Walking around,checking everything out from Momma's shoulders.

The Children's museum was open and had treats for the children.

Elle was in love with the horse.

And did not want to move!  Notice the little boy in the backgrounds outfit!  too cute!

Elle in the back of the Sheriffs car... Hope this isn't foreshadowing!

Caution!  Cousin's at play!

The street all a glow!

We all hustled home for some huckleberry pie with ice cream!

Joined at the hip...

and so cute about it!!

They even took turns at how sat in front!

 

Sophie and Baylor enjoyed alittle snuggle time!

A light spritzer after all the hardwork

Grami fixed the girls a light spritzer of Lime juice, water, and sugar.



It was super yummy...

Doesn't this picture remind you of Lady and the tramp?

Making Pie With Grami

Elle and Gia helped Grami make a huckleberry pie during Thanksgiving.  The huckleberries were courtesy of Wes, Poppi, Sophie, and Ceci from over the summer.  Gia and  Elle jumped right in helping.



Stirring while Grami grates limes.

Elle and Gia were excellent tasters as well!

 

Repeatedly...

Sophie and Ceci even joined in on the action.

They each took turns spreading butter on top.

Okay now Elle's turn

The a bit of cinnamon and sugar

Lime juice was made with the remnants of the lime.  The next series of pictures note Elle's facial expressions.

The pie rocked! We all plan to help pick huckleberries next year and we want more pie!!

Playing With Ice

The girls spent the afternoon exploring.



And found ice in the creek!

Sophie showing off this awesome piece she found!

Elle was checking out a boat that was under the dock.

"See Sophie, I found it"

Ceci's super awesome piece of ice!

"It was that big Uncle Colby"

No exploring is complete without jumping time!

"I did it"
