Christmas 2010

Our first trip home since moving to Moscow was for Christmas Break.  We stayed with grandma nanna our first night after driving in a crazy snow storm, then we spent the rest of our time staying with grandma and grandpa Sundloff.  We had such fun having Josh all to ourselves, playing with our cousins, and spending time with family and friends.  Santa came and brought magical memories and gifts for the kids...they even heard him Ho! Hoing! outside on Christmas eve.

  

Charlie's Blanket

Charlie loves his blanket...he drags it around everywhere! It is cozy and cuddly and made of soft fur.  He loves to bite it.  He often has a tuft of fur on his tounge in the morning when he wakes up.  If his blanket is on the floor he will lay on his tummy and put his face on it. Oh, to have a friend like that!

Gracie's Purse

Gracie's Purse...Oh. Yes. Every girl must have a pincone and a couple of leaves in their purse...one never knows when those might come in handy.

Snow Removal

Logan Loves to Shovel...he is a worker and he loves to help others.

Happy Birthday!

I can't believe my little babies are 5 today...they have grown so fast...I love who they are becoming and I feel so blessed to be their mom.

Since our family is far, we have been recieving lots of gifts and cards in the mail...Logan and Gracie have been waiting anxiously to open them all...so they did in their pj's.

They chose McDonalds for lunch then later we had a party and pizza dinner

with our friends the Nielson and Perkins families.









Gracie the Giver

Gracie is so thoughtful...she is always making a picture for someone and thinking of others.  For their birthday, all on her own, she made a gift for Logan and put it under his pillow.  She found a scrap of wrapping paper and made her own bag by taping the sides up. Then she added a stuffed dog from the toy box, a pine cone (everyone needs one of those), and she asked for a treat to give him out of the candy box. She was so excited for him to find it.
