Skiing

The boys were so excited to go skiing again this Christmas break.  Maddie wanted to go too, but she has to be four years old.  We told her that she could go next year.  Mommy and Maddie had a girls day and the boys spent the whole day at Mt Hood.

Christmas Snow

A white Christmas in our area is very rare.  We were so exited when it started snowing on Christmas eve this year.  Papa and Grandma Immel bought the kids sleds for Christmas so it was perfect.  On Christmas day after all the presents were open the kids were so excited to go play in the snow and try out their new sleds!

Merry Christmas

Immel Express

This year we decided not to go on the Polar Express train.  We decided to create a new tradition for our family, The Immel Express! We put on our pajamas, popped some popcorn, picked up Starbucks hot chocolate then drove around to look at Christmas lights.  The kids thought this was so much fun and we are excited to do it again next year!

Christmas break

We started off Christmas break making cookies and Christmas houses.  We decided to try the foam houses rather then making gingerbread houses this year. The kids had so much fun with these activities.  My kitchen however was a huge mess for days!  But it was worth it to see them having so much fun creating! Here are just a few of the pictures we took.

St Nick

St Nick came to our house.  The kids were so excited to see what he brought them all in their stockings.

Santa

We went to see Santa today.  Madelynn didn't want to go by him for the longest time.  With some convincing she decided she would stand next to him with Wyatt by her side.
