Half-way through the Christmas hustle and bustle!

School pictures are in...who are these BIG kids and when did this happen?

Christmas could not begin until Apple Cup was over....and the Meyer kids will be staying in Purple & Gold for 2017 too...if you know what I mean.  Go Dawgs!


Heather celebrating the Pac-12 Championship game with a little R&R in Millie's room.

New hat and gloves from Archer the Elf on a Shelf...he knew it was Christmas tree day for the Meyer Clan.


And we are ready to go...well, a couple of us are!


All loaded up with Clark Griswold as our fearless leader.

Quick detour to "GRIFFIN AVE" for lunch before hitting the mountains!

Bring on the snow and the search for the perfect (or 1st tree we can find).


Lesson #1: Make sure to only eat the white snow.

Lesson #2: Walking in the snow is a lot harder than it looks!

Lesson #3: The perfect tree is often the first one you find when hunting with a 2 & 4 year old.


Back to load up the tree...and play in the snow for a bit!




Next up on the Christmas check list...Santa pictures.  We were dressed and ready to go...and Santa was going to be our friend this year...well, we don't have the pictures yet, but these might be better than what we actually got.  #stillscaredofsanta

Another party...another sweaty boy! 

Lights up...the holiday festivities are beginning to come alive.

Time to get the inside decorated.



Craft Day with Mommy.


 The final product....we try to be crafty!

SNOW DAY!!!



I played SAHM with the cousins....and we had fun.

Of course, I had to fuel up my Ionix go-go juice.


Cookies...and Dorothy slippers!

It only took about 30 minutes to get them all suited up for the snow...but it was worth it.


Ready for a snowball fight!


Off to Grammy & Papa's for the afternoon to play in the snow at their house.


Drop off date night at Wiggle Works...yes, the kids get to play while we got to have dinner just together!

Annual Gingerbread House decorating at our house...with homemade "spirited" coffee.















Sunday Fun Day with friend and football.  The Blosser family joined us to watch a little football and celebrate the season.



These kids...they found the "tooting" planet show.  hahah!

Preschool homework is rough...learning to color in the lines!

Another box checked on the Christmas fun list...Zoolights and Eureka!

The gangs all bundled up and ready for some fun.
