her first hair cut

While we were in Portland, I had Wendy cut Raelynn's hair. Wendy gave Isaiah and Elias their first hair cuts, and I'm pretty sure I'll have her give Simon his, also!

welcoming the new year

It started off with decorating some giant gingerbread men.

It moved to driving a 4 wheeler and pulling a sled with family and friends.

I can't think of a more fun thing to do!

There was a little wrestling (aka attacking poor Aunt Wendy)

Then on to a few rounds of BUNCO.

Then ended the night with some snacks and silly pictures.

Happy 2013!

shoemaker christmas

We decorated a whole lot of sugar cookies

We hung out and visited

We ate some fondue

We had a good laugh while watching the Christmas story acted out by the boys and Pops and Grami.
Pops was the angel, and the hit of the play.

We cuddled babies and opened presents.

We immediately started putting legos together.

More stockings, and more presents.
