Candy Canes....Yummy!

Although we really try to limit the amount of sugar the babies eat, we couldn't go through this holiday season without letting them try their first candy cane. They loved them! Emmerson and Logan each ate them the "correct" way....licking and licking until the red stripes disappeared and the tip became smaller and smaller. Theirs each lasted about 10 minutes. Brody on the other hand would have ate his in under a minute if Mommy didn't intervine! He shoved the entire thing in his mouth sideways so that his cheeks were poked out on each side in the shape of a candy cane. They all seemed to like their first crack at candy canes and we were able to get some cute pictures

Our First Snow Adventure

We bundled up all the kiddos and headed outside for our first adventure in the snow. We have a small sleding hill just outside our front door that was perfect for us to have our first sled ride on. Brody and Logan loved the snow and the rides in the sled. They each had the biggest smiles on their faces as they came zooming down the side of the hill. Emmerson on the other had did not care for the cold, the snow and especially not the sledding. She cried for most of the experience, but was the happiest once we came back in side.

Triplet Tree Santa Breakfast

It was our first time attending my triplet groups annual Santa breakfast. We had a great time! It was so nice being out to eat and not being "on display". No one came up and asked "Are they triplets?" or "Do you watch Jon and Kate plus 8?". It was great! The Glatchaks and the Andersons were there and everyone had fun running around the large banquet room. We were not sure what to make of the big guy in red though...that brought out the only tears of the day. It was amazing to everyone how quiet and well behaved all the kids were...especially considering there were about 200 people there and over 130 of them were kids! John and I were also very excited that we finally took individual with our babies...Just Mommy, Daddy and each of our children alone. We are going to make this a new tradition...throughout the year.

Grand Bear Lodge Trip

We had a great time on our mini vacation to Grizzly Jacks Grand Bear Lodge. We stayed in a 2 bedroom condo with Grandma Linda, Grandpa Jim, Uncle Brian and his girlfriend, Jodi. We went swimming in the indoor water park and even rode rides in the indoor amusement park. Emmerson only lasted 30 seconds on the ride which is why she is not in the photos. The boys liked the ride...and since it was their first, we were ALL very excited. During our stay, we celebrated our first of many "Christmas dinners" with Uncle Brian and Jodi. They were very generous and got the kids many fun toys and books. Brian and my Mom and Jim went in together on a gift for John and I too...the Wii! We are looking forward to spending time learning all the new games. Although Brian and Jodi were sick for most of the trip, we all had a great time just being together!
