Goldilocks....aka.... Kaycie-boo

Autumn went for the bandana look one day for school, and I have to say she pulled it off quite nicely.

Goldilocks. Kaycie has pretty curly hair right after you wash it; darling!

My cutie pie all ready for church.

Introducing Kaycie's first ponytail ever!!

Kaycie wanted nothing to do with sitting on Santa's lap.

Autumn with Santa.


"Cheese"....... Kaycie's loaded cookie.

We went with our ward to a small town called Poffabra on Christmas day to see all of the creche exhibits. Very typical decor for Christmas. Every Italian has one of these Santa's hanging outside their house.

Nativity scene.

Kung Fu Panda Warriors.

Santa's elf assembling gifts on Christmas Eve.

We had a few friends over for Christmas Eve dinner from the dental clinic. Kaycie couldn't stay away from Dr. Robinson.....he was a good sport!

The kids were all excited and wanted to sleep together in arrival for Santa.

Matching jammies.

The angel of the Lord.

My turkey looks pretty sweet!!

We got this awesome Christmas pyramid in Germany (far left) You light the candles around the bottom, and the heat makes it rotate. Each level has part of the Christmas story.

Nativity from Paraguay.

Getting ready for Christmas Eve dinner.....

Steve's sweet ride; he loves this car!.........I don't care to drive it, the handle on the stick shift is removable:(

Our house. (The orange side only)

A snowball in our yard, very unusual!!

I went to close the shutters Christmas Eve, and I couldn't believe it! It was snowing!!! Very exciting!!!

2nd Annual Thanksgiving trip to Salzburg, Austria/Berchesgaden Germany

We drove up to Munich on Saturday to check out their Christmas market. Totally worth it! Awesome, but very crowded!
One of the booths.


Another booth, selling gigantic cookies.

Black and white shot.

Beautiful architecture. I thought the market was so much fun. We tried all kinds of food; nuts, bratworst, fries, chocolate covered strawberries, ect. It was awesome!
On to Salzburg.....

Awesome view of Salzburg. You can see where the Christmas market is down below with the lights.

Courtney and Autumn with the snowbaby they created.

Beautiful from the top! Overlooking Salzburg.

Jess and I sporting our "tams"....Jess talked me into buying one on the trip. I've learned in Europe you can wear about anything and fit in. I like it!

Courtney and Autumn watching a little chess.

Pretzels with chocolate....yum.

Salzburg's main tourist track.

The family, with the fortress in the distance. Autumn wasn't in a very good mood at the time, but I guess 4/5 is pretty good.
