Reindeer Games

We are in Nebraska and there is a lot of snow here! The big boys have gotten an opportunity to go sledding, something they’ve never done before. They had a blast. Unfortunately, the day they went sledding daddy accidentally drove off with their winter coats in the van. Carson and Owen are wearing Isaac’s winter coats. I’m so glad I threw in an extra snow coat for Isaac. They didn't seem to mind that they were wearing coats that were way too small for them (or that they have on pink and purple scarves.)

Pause the background music to hear the video.

Smile

Over Thanksgiving we had a family picture taken.  The photographer definitely earned his wages the day he photographed our family.  It did not take long for him to learn that not only is it shy of a miracle for all of us to be looking in the general direction of the camera, but eyes open and smiles are totally a bonus.  This was only the second time our family has been “professionally” photographed.  (I use the term loosely.  The first was for the church directory. Does that count?)  We also had pictures taken of Great Grandma Porter with our kids and the children of my sister and brother. 

This is what we ended up with.
