Holidays catchup

Things have been pretty busy for us with the usual holiday rush, building the new house and working on the new practice. To catch up on what we've been doing I'll post lots of pix w/ few words...

How often does Santa show up in a hot balloon in your back yard?


We met with some friends from dental school.


We played in the snow a lot at my parent's house.



We didn't go snowboarding this year, so we turned the deck into our very own kicker!




We tried out our snow gear by throwing snow at each other...





Utah can be very beautiful in the winter.


We tried to take pix of all the grandkids, but none of them turned out quite right.


The boys enjoyed opening their presents.





Risa really does get to scrap a little.


Trey made fake brains and showed us what he would look like if he really did take his brains out and lay them on his stomach.


Flag football is over and the Maple Valley Mo-Mo's didn't make the playoffs.


We were lucky enough to hook up with some friends over the Christmas break. This is Nate/Collette and Chris, high school friends of Carson's.


Sorry Nate, that's the best pic I have of you.


We had our annual gift exchange with some friends in Maple Valley...


...and we were the lucky ones that got the dancing Christmas Gi-gi doll!


Putting up decorations and having a baby are not always a great combination, but he is so darn cute it is hard to resist.


Proof that he is a Calderwood boy.


We just had our fifth snow fall of the winter, with the second one that stayed around long enough for the boys to do some sledding again. Days like this though are great as well to play outside.


Our boys are starting to become the three musketeers.



Why are little boys so cool with mowhawks?

The pictures you took turned out great. I'm glad I didn't know that all of you were jumping off the deck. I hope your boys don't start to copy their Dad, Aunt and Uncle. It was wonderful to have all of you here. Wish we could do it more often.
Love
Mom

The hot air balloon was random. We don't know why it came, but it was exciting for the kids. The owner dropped off Santa at the park then took off.
