Snow fun and Gingerbread time!

Rylie, Rori and Rylie's buddy from school went out last week to have a little fun in the snow!


Rylie decorated a gingerbread house and had a blast. Rori wanted to help. At one point we thought she had stuffed a small round candy up her nose, but it was a false alarm!
Enjoy!

A hunting we will go!

On Saturday, Dec. 5th, we decided to brave the snow and head out to our usual spot to search for the perfect tree. The weather decided to be a little iffy, but 4-wheel drive can work wonders in the snow. We made up into the mountains past York, MT. If you've never been there, you should try it.




It is home to a great park for kids, the York Bar (home of the famous York burgers), and the York 38 special bike ride (which does not take place in the winter). When Rylie was just a few months old, Mark and I went with some friends to YorkFest. Rylie was riding in the stroller in her carseat. We parked it outside the community hall and somehow, she was left in the stroller (she was sleeping and completely warm). I thought Mark had her and he thought I had her, while neither one of us had her. We were both inside the building and she was not. We quickly remedied the matter. Anyway, here are some photos of the adventure. The batteries died on the camera so I to wait to get the after shot of the tree. Merry Christmas!!!
