Pride Before the Fall

I took this picture about thirty seconds before she tipped that milkshake over and spilled it all over the table and her clothes.  I would have taken a picture of that, but I was busy cleaning up sticky strawberry milkshake.

Painting Fun

Building Hogwarts

Helping Daddy build the Hogwarts board for the Lego Hogwarts game.  It was actually a pretty fun game!

So close!

Making Christmas Memories

She's only six, but this has become one of my favorite yearly traditions: waiting at the top of the stairs while her daddy starts a fire and gets the camera ready.  It's the epitome of Christmas morning anticipation, complete with her trademark crazy morning hair.

Cookies

The cookie Rachael made just for me. 

Family Picture

We took our own snapshot with the remote.  Believe it or not, this is the picture we didn't use.

School Ornament

Love love love homemade ornaments!

Cookies

We all chose one treat we like for Christmas and Ryan chose sugar cookies. (Rachael picked cake pops, and I picked English Toffee.) Since those were his pick, I made a few Millennium Falcon cookies in addition to the Christmas ones!

Chinese Chocolate

This is how Ryan and the team survive long days working in a factory!
