Sledding fun

Tom actually sat on the toboggan backwards and slid down the hill in front of the boys to get the first video, until he took a tumble! And check out Derek's "super trick" as well. I will post Christmas pictures soon.

Yes, I am Cory McKee's sister....

Just wanted to give a shout out to my older brother for his awesome drawing that the Jazz hired him to draw. You may have seen it on TV while watching a recent Jazz game, as they are giving away prints of the drawing to people who donate a certain amount of money to charity. Anyways, I think it's awesome so I wanted to show it off. Go Cory!! (Although I'm sure he never reads my blog. :o) I'm working on a website for his artwork (as well as one for mine) which should be up and running shortly.

Why don't we just eat the Candy??

I attempted making my first gingerbread houses with my kids this last week. For the most part I would say it was a success, although I did cheat and only used graham crackers and a hot glue gun. Dallan was a little disappointed and put WAY more candy in his mouth than on the house. Derek did a little better, but soon got bored of the decorating part, which he left to me, and just started eating as well. Derek's decorating ideas were along these lines "hey mom, lets put this candy inside the chimney and it can be Santa, and this one will be his uncle, and this is his other uncle, etc...... " until the chimney is stuffed full of Santa's uncles, which will be SOO SOO funny because now Santa can't move!" and "this green one on top of the chimney is me looking down at all the people stuck in the chimney and laughing" His other big idea was to fill the entire house full of blue M&M's so that it would be a flood like we had when our dishwasher broke. Then when Santa got un-stuck from the chimney he would fall in the flooded house and "that would be SOOO SOOO funny!" Little boys are very interesting!! :o)
